VANDERBILT'S FIRST BOAT,
Some Good Stories of the Founder of thu
Family of Millionaires.

Some Good Stories of the Founder of the
Family of Millionaires.
The reading given recently by Mrs.
Coventry Waddell at her Stuyvesant
Square home served to bring out many
interesting new anecdotes of Commo-
dore Vanderbilt. Mrs. Waddell's friend
ship with the founder of the Vanderbilt
family was lifelong and her recollec-
lions OF the great money-getter are of
nature to cast strong light upon his
personality. The following story illus
trative of his energy and push in early
youth was told.
1t is well-known fact that for years
Commodore Vanderbilt sailed per
1auger'' and in it took daily cargo of
green groceries to the New York mar
ket. The shrewd way in which he be-
came skipper of his first craft is thor
oughly characteristic. 1t seems that at
the age of sixteen Nelly had devel-
oped strong affection for rowing. sail
ing and other water sports. An old
Staten Island fisherman had sail-boat
which he offered to sell for 500. and
Nelly thought that if he could only
become the owner of this particular boat
he would indeed be happy. He hadn't
the money, however, and as last re-
source, applied to his mother.
Nelly" she said, ''you see that
elght-acre lot out there" pointing to an
unpromising-looking stony field.
Nelly said he did. 'Well, if YOU
Will pillow, harrow and seed that lot YOU
Shall have the $780," Nelly induced
several boys of the neighborhood by
promises of jolly excursions. to turn in
and help him. In week they had the
job done, and the 500 was paid over.
Nelly then beat the owner of the
boat down to sos, and purchased the
craft at that price. The Commodore TO
the end of his days never ceased TO re-
greet that on his first sail he broke hole
in the boats bottom that it cost 81 To re.

Mrs. Waddell once remarked to tho
Commodore, Il dare say, many wealthy
New orkers would be happy if they

they could carry to the next world the
wealth they accumulate in this

shrouds had pockets the strife and tur-
MOL on Wall street would be increased
four-fold.'
Al one time, while living on Staten
Island, the Commodore had an exasner-
atlngly balky horse. He never could he
sure that the brute wouldn't stop in the
mlodle OF the road, and he often walked
IN preference to taking chances with
the animal. One day he started out and

the beast came to a dead halt. An on
energetic belaboring, backing and saw

turned around and went home. He GOT

Butter. which is almost indispensable
nowadays, was almost unknown to the

used butter, but as an ointment. and
Pintarch tells how the wife of Deiotor-
Gus once received a visit from Spartan
lady whose presence was intolerable
because She was smeared with butter.

Romans how it was made. The Romans

The large number of friends of Edward

that he had died about $50 that morning.
His death was comparatively suddenly, he

that he possessed in business and social
circles to realize the sad truth. He held the
position of teller in the National New Haven
bank for the past twelve years and succeeded
his father, Benjamin Highly, in that Office,
a noteworthy fact that the father and son
represented sixty five years of continuous
labor In the National New Haven banks
record that stands almost without parallel
in this city.
Mr.. Highly leaves wife and two chill
dren, one about twelve years old and the
other younger. His wife was Miss Mary
Daggett, cousin of E. F. Msrsick of Eng.
lish & Mersick. He was also related to G. S.
Bushnell and had eister, Mrs. Carrie w.
Hyde, who resides in West Haven. He waa
forty-three years of age. The funeral ser.
vices will bs held Sunday afternoon at
O'Clock. He was an active member of Dwight
Place church, holding the interests and well
fare of the church as a personal matter, and
especially in his capacity as treasurer of the
society. He belonged also to Israel Putnam
lodge, A. o. U. W. Deceased was gentle

death will be deeply lamented and regretted
