bags of Fifth avenue will spend from
$500 to $1,000 on the trip. Indeed, the
amounts of money that the rich now
spend on the ocean are immense. 1T Is
not an unsual thing for wealthy men to
invite Il party Of friends to cross the
ocean with them just as they would
invite them to pay visit to their
country houses. II costs a few thou
sands OF dollars to do this sort of
thing, but this is a small matter to
those who choose to indulge In this
sort Of fad Besides, 1t Is not as eX-
pensive as yachting, When the Goulds
or the Nanderbilts entertain their
friends on cruises on their & yachts,
their expenses day by day into the
thousands Of dollars. Verify it Is a
sport for kings, In fact, not every king
could afford to indulge In It,
one of the most remarkable men In
theatrical circles now, and one whose
success has been phenomenal is
Charles Hoyt, whose funny plays have
had such wide success in the past half
Of dozen years. EOyt Is the one play
wright In New York at least, who pro-
duces his own plays in his own theatre
with his own company. Edward Har-
rigan has given up his theatre. Au-
gustln Daily owns his theatre and man
longer produces his own plays, con-
tenting himself with adaptations and
REVEALS OF old comedies. Hoyt has
probably made more money as play
wright and manager than any other
man in the business, and what is
more he has made 1t In very short
time. Besides his New York company
he has other com binutlons constantly
on the road, No one of his plays has
failed TO pay, and some Of them have
proved verltablo gold mines. Hoyt is
rated as q millionaire. and he has
made it all out of his plays. He has
one weakness, In that he has an am
bition to shine in politics. He has not
met with any great degree of success
In this line as yet. but as he seems
bent on persevering he may yet find his
ambition satisfied.
One of the most interesting person.
alities Of today IS John Brisbien Walk
err, the owner and editor OF the Cos
mopolitan Magazine. When Mr.. Walker
started his magazine in field already
occupied by "Harpers," 1.-THE Century,"
and "Scrlbners," his failure was freely
predicted. But he has not failed and
his magazine is a success. He made
new departure in the publishing
business when, instead of locating his
offices IN the book district, he built a
magnificent building for 1t out of the
city at historic old Tarrytown in a
most beautiful and romantic spot lmag-
Unable. Here he has one of the most
complete establishments in existence.
The machinery is Of the latest and
best sort. The editorial rooms used
by himself and his associates are mag
nlhccnt, and, in fact every detail of
the building is perfect. Mr.. Walker
mas won his success while he is yet in
the prime OF life. Personally he is a

turns out two and three or more col

years. The range of his work Is wider
