THAT AsTOR INJUNCTION.
Judge Gildersleeve Hears Argu-
ment Upon 1t This Morning.
Amdavits of Experts, Pro and Con,
Submitted.
'rs,ssT,s5',-aET

Judge GiIdersleeve, Of the Superior
Court, this morning heard argument on
his order requiring John Jacob Astor
and the trustees of the Astor estate, to
show cause why the temporary injunc-
tion restraining them from building a
stable at Sixty-ffth street and Madi-
son avenue, adjoining the B'nai Jes-
hurnn Temple. should not be made
permanent.
Lawyer Charles Strauss, who repre-
sented the congregation, read a lot Of
affidavits. Some of them showed the
expensive character of the temple
which. according to the afiidavits, cost
Sl45, 900. Others were from residents of
the neighborhood, claiming that the
value Of their property would be de-
creased.

except that these defendants have made

Joseph H. Choate, representing the
Astor estate, also read a lot of afIidavits
contradicting those OF the other side.
He claimed that the stable from an
architectural standpoint would be more
attractive than the temple.
He then called attention to the fact
that most OF the wealthy residents Of
this city had stables adjoining their
houses. He read affidavits from ply
sicians that the stable would not be
unhealthy.
He denied that there. was a desire
to make money out of the residents
of the neighborhood, and said pro-
hibitory price was named because his
clients did not wish to sell.
The argument not being closed at II
o'clock, Judge Gildersleeve adjourned 1t

BOUGHT BY GOULOS.
George and Howard Purchase the
Yacht Vigilant for $4,000.
They Will Race the Speedy Cup
Winner This Season.
James Gordon Bennett Withdrew
His Offer to Buy.

Peerless Vigilant. conqueror of the
British yacht Valkyrie, and the invincible
steel flyer which won the Americas s
Cup 50 handsomely last year, will not
be taken from these waters this year.
George J. Gould and his brother, How
ard, have purchased the noble white
single-sticker, and they will race her
next season for all she is worth.
The Gould boys paid $4,000 for
vigilant, and the syndicate. composed
of Commodore e. d. Morgan, c. oliver
Iselin, Cornelius Vanderbilt, August
Belmont and others, who invested $l25,-
900 In the yacht last year, were pleased
to dispose of the Vigilant at that figure.
Yachtsmen In these waters were fearful
that Vigilant would be taken to
foreign waters to compete for greater
honor and glory next Summer.
Indeed, 1t was almost a certainty that
James Gordon Bennett had bought her.
Mr.. Bennett had offered $4,000 for Wig
liant but 1t was contingent upon his
ability to satisfactorily arrange a series
OF races with the Prince Of Waless Bri-
tannia. The sale to the Gould brothers
is conclusive evidence that Mr.. Bennett
and the Prince were unable to agree on
sailing conditions.
George Gould has been after Vigilant
for some time. He approached August
Belmont treasurer of the syndicate
which owns the beat. some weeks ago
with an offer to buy. Then Mr.. Ben
nett came upon the scene as Prospec-
tive purchaser and the Gould offer was
lost sight of temporarily.
But word came that the Prince and
Mr.. Bennett had given up the notion

they accepted the $4,000 bid made by
George Gould. To-day the latter con-
