Marble Summer Home.

Chauncy M. Depew has just COM

months vacation of rest and rec
reahon. And here is how he is
going to enjoy himself. He has just
purchased very handsome summer
residence in Ardsley Park at Irving
ton on the Hudson. The mansion
cost in the neighborhood of $780,
900, about one half of DR.. Depew's
annual income. DR.. Depew is fitting
up the new summer home to make it
one of the contest Of the many lovely
places along the Hudson. This Ards
ley Park was laid out by the late
Cyrus w. Field when he was in the
zenith of his success. Mr.. Field
loved his family dearly, and it was
his wish that they should all live at
this beautiful park. He built houses
for his sons and daughters, and spent
nearly 100000 on the place. 1t was
originally 1000 acres in extent, but
soon dwindled through forced sales
when misfortunes came thick and
fast, and at the time of Mr.. Fields
death only about one, third of the
original estate remained. He is going
to lay out the grounds according to
his own ideas of landscape gardening
and spend a small fortune in i'm
provements.

That world-famed police official,
Superintendent Thos. Byrnes, takes
time to get his full quota of enjoy
ment out Of life. He takes his pleas
ure in very democratic way. Down

pretty cottage, not a mansion by any
means, but the prettiest little home
imaginable. Here Superintendent

this summer. lie is an ardent family
man, and when with his wife and
children he leaves all the worry Of
the great police system of New York
behind him. He IS one OF the best
preserved men for his age in New
York. He takes long walks in the
country with his children, varying
with carriage rides and sails on the
Shrewsbury river.
He is having built in a Brooklyn
yacht yard a boat, not palatial
steam yacht or Volunteer, but
trim twenty-foot catboat that will
OUTRAGE anything in Jersey Of its
size when the Superintendent is at
the helm. THIS boat the police chief
takes great pride in, and he is look
ing with genuine pleasure to the day
of the launching and the racing on
hot July afternoons on the Shrews-
bury. He has become a member of
the Shrewsbury Yacht Club, and
will don the club uniform for the
first time on July ?. His new boat
will take part in this clubs races,
which are inaugurated at that date.
CARL scHURz ON HUNTING BENT.
That shrewd and able statesman,
Carl Schurz. is an enthusiastic
hunter. He Is not the kind of a
hunter so often found in New York
who goes down on Long Island and
shoots snipe and then talks about
bear killing.
When Mr.. Schurz wants to hunt he
gets down his rifle cases and goes
west to the Rocky Mountains.
There he shoots big game, deer
and bear, and occasionally brings
east the feet of that very willy ami
NAL, the white goat that frequents
the topmost crags Of the Rockies.
He is now planning two months
hunt in Colorado and neighboring
States. He will be one of a party
of well known men, members of the
Boone and Crockett Hunting Club,
who are going to spend July and
August in hunting big game.
Accompanying Mr.. Schurz will be
Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, the civil
service reformer, and several wealthy
New Workers.
Six or eight weeks of roughing it
among the Rockies will build up any
man with a constitution weakened
by overwork," said Mr.. Schurz.
Henry Willard the fnancier, who
has been making things very4leassnt
for foreign potentates who visited
New York during the recent Colum-
bian celebration, is planning a very
novel sort of pleasure. He will send
out an exploring expedition to South
America at his own expense. This
expedition is in charge of a scientist
and antiquarian and mammoth col
lection of criosities is to be gathered
from the Southern country. Mr..
Willard viii go to San Diego, Cal,
the starting point OF the expedition,
in a few weeks. He will take in the
Worlds Fair and then go to Europe
for an extensive tour of the Cont
nent for his summer vacation.
