he is on the left there is continual
contact, and the gentleman's horse by
crowdIng against the other, invariably
hurts the lady's limbs. This, in my
opinion, is the fault of the gentleman.
He should have complete control of his
animal. and what one lady has termed
the improperly of conduct must be
impossible. 1t is the left side on which
the gentleman should ride, for his
presence on any occasion presupposes
protection, and it is on the side only
where his right hand is ready to render
immediate aid that he can be supposed
to be protector and guide. Watch
Foxhall Keene when escorting lady
in the park while on driving tour and
you will have an ideal representation
of the horseman protector.
Among the elegant new outfits of the
spring is that of DR.. Seward Webb,
which l do not believe has yet been
seen in the park, although it will be as
soon as the Easter season begins and
the Webbs come back from their coun-
try home. The fifteen thousand dollar
hackneys which Mr.. Webb bought
abroad will then have chance to show
their sterling qualities behind one of
the prettiest traps ever seen in the
park, in which, moreover, much has
been sacrificed to gain strength and
lightness.
One of the handiest whips who is
seen daily in the park is that young
driver, Thomas Pearsall Field. There

New YORK, Sept. 26.-TSpecial Core
spondence. Jay Gould. returning from q
long visit to the southwest. found his Sec
ond son, who is called Eddie by everyone,
in troopers uniform, with loaded revolver
in ms belt and his fine cavalry horse fitted
up for active service in the field. Father
and son had scarcely more time than was
sufficient to pass greetings and then the
young man went away a common soldier
to protect property and lives which were
threatened during the strikes at Buffalo.
On the following morning Mr.. Gould
read in the newspapers a paragraph in
which it was said that he had sold or was
about to sell the stock of the Western
Union Telegraph Company which he
owned. That paragraph caused an
amused smile, and, it was said on Wall
street later, the report having come, &C.
cording to the rumor, from his older son
George, that his father was far more inter-
ested in the dispatches which told of the
trip of the cavalry company, of which Ed
die is member, than he was in the story
that he had sold several million dollars
worth of Western Union stock. Perhaps
one reason for this exclusive interest was
that he knew that the Western Union
story was untrue, while the news about his
sons company he accepted as veracious.
The story that was told was that a COM
pany of Philadelphia capitalists who are
known in financial communities all over
the country as 'the Philadelphia syn6i-
cate" have offered Mr.. Gould a great price
for his Western Union stock, and had
found him willing to sell, so that probably
these Philadelphia capitalists will find
themselves in possession of the property

While the railway strikes were in prog
ress at Buffalo very strong light was
thrown upon the relations of the Wander
bilt boys, as they are called, to the great
, property which their grandfather created
and their father increased. Cornelius VAN
derbilt was at a little seaside resort in
Massachusetts,. Owing to the death of
his Oldest son he has forsaken Newport
this year. There Mr.. Vanderbilt was, sa
to speak, at the end Of q telegraph wire
the other end of which was in the Grand
Central station of New York. He was
kept constantly informed of all that was
going on, and nothing has occurred re-
Gently which has shown to the public so
conclusiveiy that Cornelius Vanderbilt is
the power which controls the New York
Central system rs this constant sending Of
messages to him while the strike was ON.
He had no suggestions to make; he relied
completely upon his subordinates to do
what was best. They are paid large sala-
ries TO meet such emergencies as we'll as to
perform other duties.
William h. Vanderbilt. who is in the
directory of the road of course, was greatly
interested in the strike, but he knew that
his brother Cornelius was in constant
touch with the officials of the system, and
he was therefore left free to negotiate for
the building of new yacht which 10 to
take the place of the Alva, which was sunk
few weeks ago near Buzzard's bay. The
loss entailed by the sinking of this yacht
is something over $500 COO. yet that prob
ably represents Mr.. Vanderbilt's income
for between two and three weeks. The
new yacht he contemplates will cost a.
much as some ocean steamships, and will
be the most luxurious sea palace in the
world, and probably the swifiest ship that
floats.
Fred Vanderbilt, the third son, whom
many think the most approachable Of all
the brothers, was not greatly worried over
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-10-02

the strike which seemed to threaten the
Central property. He had perfect conf
dence in the officials, and he came back to
New York day or two after the strike was
over, his face tanned by exposure to the
sun. and thinking shout getting his own
yacht, the Conqueror, ready for a trip
across the ocean in the early winter.
George Vanderbilt, the youngest son,
the black-eyed priestly-looking bookworm
of the family, left his library to pay a visit
to his mother at Newport, where he rey
veaied the same shyness which has beeh
his characteristic all his days. With an
income of nearly 81 900, 900 year, with
fondness tor books above all other things.
with only one fad and that the building of
a castle in the North Carolina mount
aims, George Vanderbilt. while the strikes
were pending was planning trip around
the world, reading works on Japan. in
which country he expected to spend
several months, having become greatly in.
terested In it on account of the descrip-
tons of it written by Sir Edwin Arnold.
The worker of the family is Cornelius
Vanderbilt, and there is no employee Of
the road who works harder than Mr.. VAN
derbiit does when he is in the city. 1t is
estimated thatif the Vanderbilt boys live
as long as their father did their combined
property will amount to over $500 00O, 900.
and if they should live as long as the COM
modore and the present rate of increase
continue their possessions will be sufficient
to extinguish the national debt as it is to-
day. F. JAY EDwARps.
