New York Millionaires' Sons.
New York Letter.


Few OF the millionaires who figure in the
public eye have such helpful sons as Mr..
Gould. Mr.. John A. Morris two boys are
conspicuous and useful figures out at Nor

Dudley Withers were prominent horse
owners and millionaires who have died
not long since, leaving no sons at all.

to draw public attention specially to the
oncoming generation Of the Vanderbilts
and Astors. The oldest son of the richest
Vanderbilt has died and been buried amid
sincere and general sorrow. He seems to
have been popular college boy, and an
embryo social swell highly thought of in
his set, and good son and brother and
friend in spite of his millions. Young
John Jacob Astor, now the male head of
the elder branch of the Aston family,
shortly after the death of his father, Will
liam Astor, sent a check for S., 600 each to

fund. Somebody has suggested that
young Astor made these handsome pres

had considerable correspondence with the
commissioners over his proposed exhibit
of from two to a dozen or more reptiles of
every form that inhabit all known regions
of the earth. He was informed yesterday
that suitable arrangements would be made
for his great collection of snakes, and he
would be given all possible assistance in
collecting every species of the reptiIian
race. He proposes to make this great den
of snakes, which Will be placed in the Ma
tional History building. one of the most

Already he has more than fifty different
species in readiness for the fair, and his
sgents are at work all over the world in
collecting serpents in their great variety of
forms.
