exPArRIATeO AMERICANS.
Features Of nm Estate In Scotland which
Is About to Be Sold.

Some idea of the luxury of the rich
Americans who live abroad may be
gathered from "A circular recently sent
to certain persons in this city who IL
was thought might take an interest in
the approaching sale Of an estate in
Scotland. The estate has for several
years past been occupied by the most
conspicuous family of expatriated
Americans that has ever lived i'm Eu-
rope. The of living i'm his
place have from time to time been re-
ported here by persons who have Wis
tied the estate. The present informa-
ton concerning IL Is the first TO reach
here in statistical form. 1t Is probably
unnecessary To explain that this ircu-
lar went only to persons who might he
supposed to have money enough to
own such an estate and buy IL If they
wanted IL. The property Is still leased
by the American family that has occu-
pied IL for several years. The pur-
chaser will have the privilege OF turn
ing that family out-a privilege that
might be appreciated by a democrat
who has acquired his money since this
family became rich. The r%ecently an
nounced intention N the family To live
permanently in Europe is believed to
have had some influence I'm bringing
about the present sale.
The Introductory de~scription makes
plain the extent of the estate:
The estate. which is n of singular
beauty. and one of the most attractive
in the north of Scotland. lies on the
banks of a loch, along which II extends
about Is miles. 1t contains about 3.235
acres Of arabic land. 1873 acres of
moor and 5.132 acres of woods. or In

23.S 0i acres of the moor and about
1.S52 acres of wood are inclosed as deer

moor and 1870 acres of wood are at
tached to farms and crofts as pasture.
The VOC around the mansion house
are preserved as pheasant covers, n
these. with young plantations still in
closed. amount to 1.6l0 acres. The
mansion house contains large dining
room. W drawing rooms. billiard
room. 10 bedrooms. besides all other
suitable accommodation. The offices
also are very comfortable
As Scotch estates are bought princi-
pally for the sake of the fishing and
shooting. these details. impressive as
they might sound. would mean nothing
without the statistics on the more i'm
portant feature. They are set forth IN
this inviting form:
The deer forest is one OF the best
in the north. 1t includes the well
known mountain of Fourvonic. a ia
NOrtte resort or deer. There IL "A right
of fishing in the loch ex-adverso of the

In view Of the brevity of the shoot
ing season. the total appears ample,
but there are other aspects Of that
season which are not so advantageous,
1t is on account of the shortness that
Americans rarely purchase Scotch es-
tates and are unlikely to regard the
present proposition with any greater
interest than that arising from the
contemplation of the way In which eN-
patriated citizens are able To amuse
themselves for "A few autumn weeks
