The Ambitsous Pue.

A smarter dog than my Mops don't ex-
list. The other day friend of mine,
learned in the canine race, told me he
wasn't pure bred; that pure bred pugs
should have the roof Of the mouth black,
and that his was pink. An expression Of
horror that can't describe came over
the poor beasts face and he orept under
sofa as it were to hide his shame. The
next morning our housemaid came tome
and asked that send home some black.

RECEPTION ROOM.

Ascending these steps and passing the
elaborate doors one finds himself in the
main hall, of which the ceiling is twenty
five feet high, with curiously ornament
ed beams, supported by six pillars of the
largest size. In the intervals between
the pillars are four notable statues. At
the back of the hall is what archi-
tects consider the masterpiece of the
building, the "self supporting stairway"
of polished gray marble. It winds along
the wall of arotunda (Which is lighted by
dome) to the third floor. and with some
thirty steps to each story. Before this
stairway was accepted from the con-
tractor 100 tons of iron were piled on
the steps to test it. Its cost was $50, 900.
The two rooms, however, which at
tract most interest are the one In which
Mr.. Stewart best loved to stay-the FAM
lily room-and that in which Mrs. Stew.
art died. Grants room," SO called, oc.
cupies the entire Fifth avenue front Of
the third floor; but Gen. Grant himself
never occupied it. The Manhattan club,
as is we'll known, is ''swelp organiza-
ton, with fixed income of over $780,
600 year, owning considerable rental
property and other investments.

THE MANHATTAN CLUB TAKES THE
FAMOUS STEWART MANSION.

Supporting Staircase and Magnificent
Hooms--"Gem. Grants Roora''-Iow A. t.
stewart Designed and Built the Mansion.
The finest club. house on the American
continent, perhaps the finest in the world,
is that now occupied and enjoyed by the
Manhattan club of New York city. The
lowest estimated cost of the bare con-
struction is 81 100000. But this does not
include the wonderful inlaid work, the
mosaics and scroll fixtures, or even the
finest set of steps, which are reported to
have cost 100000. Verify club life is
looking mp when an association of private
gentlemen can afford to maintain such
an establishment as this, merely for their
leisure hours.
However, they did not build the house.
1t is the once noted Stewart mansion and
possesses all the historic interest attached
to the Stewart estate and its semi-tragic,
but altogether romantic, history. In it
the visitor is shown the curious apart
ment the merchant prince designed for

himself, the modest room in which his
quiet and almost unknown widow died,
and the truly royal apartments which
Mr.. Stewart had constructed and finished
expressly for the entertainment of Presi-
dent and Gen. Grant.
The favored few who have been invited
10 see il say that it is long and not very
easy DAYS work to take even general
view of the mansion, and that week
would be scant time to study it. The
floors, except in the top story, are laid in
marble. Polished gray marble every
where lines the walls and were it not for
the luxurious furnishings and elaborate
carvings, fretted work and other reliefs,
the effect would be chilling, but the build
ing is now furnished in the most elab-
crate and luxurious style.
For three years after the death of Mrs.
Stew art the mansion remained shut, and
not even curtained window was opened,
and even while Mr.. Stewart was alive
and while he opened his picture gallery
to visitors the rest of the mansion was
seen by but very few. No one knows
Just what the mansion cost him, but the
lowest estimate of architects is above
S1,O0Ou00. Every door frame and every
window recess is Of polished Italian mar
bic, and towering columns of it support
the ceiling. Seven years were consumed
in building the house, as the workmen
on several occasions had to wait some
weeks for the arrival of pieces from Italy.
There is no strict adherence to one style
of architecture; constant changes were
directed by Mr.. Stewart as the building
progressed, and as result the structure
presents very different appearances on
its several fronts.
The grand entrance is on Thirty.fourth
street, and the noble flight of steps there
is considered the finest thing of that
kind in the city. Each step is thirty feet
long, but the size of the whole building
and the proportion make them look
smaller. At the foot of these stairs be-
rims the Enclosure about the grounds;
this, mere yard fence" so to speak, is
a work of art in itself and cost $50, 900.
The great white slab at the foot of the
stairs is the largest single piece Of mar
BILE ever quarried and is the result of the
third attempt. Two slabs of the same
size were broken by the workmen before
they acquired the skill to set such mass
safely.
