the beautiful display, or the house and it's completeness of detail. It stands on the west of the little stream that crosses the road and flows away over the field, dividing the grounds of Mr Moves from those of MT Wentworth of Star farm. The house is of a pleasing and unique l style, suggestive of d cottage in the sub- urbs of great city than of Summer home in the country. On the ground floor, the building is 43x50 feet, with a porte, cochere at the west, bearing.in gilt letters, the name "Cloverhurst." It is | painted in a variety of bright colors, which, with tine art and plate glass win dows and the crazy shingling of parts of the house, produce d striking effect. The body of the house is in light brown, with the bronze green trimmings so much in vogue at present, while the shingles are painted yellow. Sliding doors separate the various rooms in the front of the first floor of the house and oak finish is every where apparent, with mirror here or a bracket there to add completeness to the picture. In the rear and in the cellar are perfectly appointed kitchens, buffers pantry and servants cOnyeniences, while the cellar also contains the batteries for the electric bells with which the house is provided. The entire house is furnished with gas jets, the gas itself being fur nished by machinery on the grounds. | Water is brought to the house by means of a hydraulic ram, located several hun dred feet away, just below the dam, which keeps full q tank whose capacity | is 800 gallons. This, as well as photo graph gallery for the convenience of Mir Moves, is on the upper floor. The sec ond floor, containing sleeping apartments is finished in white wood. In the rear of the house is the barn, put up last Fall. It is 26x3S, containing two stalls and a box stall for horses, with room for d car riage or two, on the first floor, with feed room on the second floor, which also con- tains a nicely finished room for the coachman. This likewise is connected with the house by electric bells. Land | scape Gardener Vervaene Of Brldgeport has had charge of the grading and laying out of the extensive grounds, on which at least 5000 has been expended, while the cost of the whole will fall not far short of $20,000. Anthony J. Rivers of Bridgeport had the contract for both house and barn and performed the work in manner alike thoroughly creditable to himself and satisfactory to MT Moves. A. E. Dixon had charge of the work, and the plumbing was done by Green x Lo- gan, the painting by C. w. Carlson of
 Bridgeport. Cloverhurst is not the first, as it must not be the last, of the hand some Summer homes which New ! ork

 quiet country towns within easy reach i of the metropolis, but there are few more
