How George and Eddie Gould Will
Enjoy Life This Summer.
New York, June lot is the general
belief that our great men have no time TO
! enjoy themselves as they would other
wise do if their names were not cut in
quite such big letters in the temple of
/ fame State dinners and receptions, il is
said, are all well enough in their way,
but do our best known public men really
have holidays at any season, when they
can place their heavy brain burdens aside
and have as much fun as they desire
without neglect of name or fortune? AS
near as ] can make out after a care
full canvass OF some of our brilliant char
acters, the greater the man the more
genuine finn he gets out of life. After YOU
read the plans of their outings this sum
mer, of some. men we all know, think
you win agree with me.
Chamcey M Depew has Just completed
his ARRANGEMENTS for two months vaca-
| ton of rest and recreation. And here is
| how he is going to enjoy himself. He has
| Just purchased a handsome summer resi-
| dence in Ardsley park at IrvingtOn-on-
| the-HudsOn. The mansion cost in the
neighborhood of $50, 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 on the Hudson. This Ards
| ley park was laid out by the late Cyrus
| w. Field when he was in the zenith of his
! success. MIR. Field loved his family
| dearly and it was his wish they should
all live at this beautiful park. He built
| houses for his sons and daughters, and
| spent nearly $780, GOO 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.
The mansion just purchased by DR.. De-
| pew was built by Mr.. Field for one of his
| daughters. DR. Depew leased it for a
short time and was so pleased with the
mansion and surroundings he decided to
| purchase. He is going to lay out the
grounds according to his own ideas of
| landscade gardening and spend a small
L
artistic design form one of DR.. Depew's
| hobbies, and he will have an opportunity
| to crafty his taste to any extent at his
new summer home. Then, too, he has a
new steam launch building for his son,
| Chauncey M. Depew, Jr Cluster" as
| young Depew is called at home, is going
to have gay times along with his parent
with that new steam launch, a very natty
| little craft, about 20 feet long, with a
| speed of II miles an hour. Young Depew,
| although only IA years old, understands
| the machinery of the craft thoroughly,
and can run it without the services of an
| engineer if needs be.
| So what with fitting up his new sum
mer home, looking after his flowers and
| enjoying himself with his brainy young
| son on the Hudson, there is no doubt but
that DIR. Depew will have a very pleas
| ant summer. Hewill break the routine
! by trip tothe worlds fair in August
| along with asparty of the Nanderbilts.
| That world7famed police official Supt.
| Thomas Byrnes, takes time to get his full
! quota Of enjoyment out of life. He takes
| his pleasure in a very democratic way
| Down at Red Bank, N. j., he has a very
| pretty cottage, not mansion by any
means, bnt the prettiest little summer
| home imaginable. Here Supt. Byrnes
win spend about six weeks this summer
| He is an ardent family man, and when
with his wife and children he leaves
all the worry of the great
him. He is ene of the best preserved
men for his age in New York. He takes
long walks in the country with his child
| rem varying with carriage rides and sails
on the Shrewsbury river. But there is
one thing that Supt Byrnes is
looking forward to with more than usual
pleasure for this summers holiday.
He is having built in Brooklyn yacht
yard boat, not d palatial steam yacht or
a Volunteer, but trim 20-foot catboat
that will OUTRAGE anything in Jersey of its
size when the superintendent is at the
helm. This bout the police chief takes
great pride in, and he is looking forward
with genuine pleasure to the day of the
launch and the racing on hot July after
moons on the Shrewsbury He has become
a member of the Shrewsbury Yacht Club
and will don the club uniform for the
first time on July 2. His new boat will
take part in this clubs races which are
inaugurated at that date.
DO ! find time for healthful recreation
and pleaSure2' said the superintendent
just come down to Red Bank when ]
take my vacation and watch me | am
not a dyspeptiC and my brain is made
clearer and works better when take my
annual outing on land and water in what
ever ashton choose"
That shrewd and able statesman, Carl
Schurz is an enthusiastic hunter He is
not the kind of hunter so often found in
New York who goes down on Long Island
and shoots snipe so as to talk about bean
killing.
When MIR. Schurz wants TO hunt he gets
down his rife 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 animal ethe white
goat that frequents the topmost crags of
the Rockies. He is now planning a
two months hunt in Colorado and neigh
boring states. He will be one of party
! of well-known men, members of the
Boone and Crockett Hunting Club, who
who are going to spend July and August
in hunting big game
Accompanying Mr.. Schurz will be
Theodore Roosevelt, the civil service re
former, and several well-known New
Workers.
Six or eight weeks of roughing st
among the Rockies will build up any man
with constitution weakened by over
work" said Mr.. Schurz. Hunting ac-
cording to the legitimate rules with the
rifle, no trapping, is my favorite pastime.
have not had an opportunity to indulge
in the luxury of late years very much, so
viii relish my outing this summer with
greater pleasure. Once man gets out
