THREE FAMOUS AMERICANS.

| THREE FAMOUS AMERICANS.
| EX-Judge Augustus Van Wyck of
| New York, who appeared as one of the
counsel for Mrs. Waddingham in the
| Waddingham case in the probate court
! yesterday naturally attracted a great
deal of attention owing to his eminsnce
| in New York politics. he having run for
governor of New York against Teddy
| Roosevelt, dropping thereby his pros
poets of being reappointed to his old
position as judge, Had he not accepted
the nomination for governor of the EN-
pre state he would in all probability
have been reappofnted judge, the APP
pointment carrying with salary of
$4,000 a year for the term of office,
fourteen years. He is also brother of
New York's mayor and possible dark
horse in the race for the democratic
candidacy for the presidency next time.
During one Of the visits OF the late
Cornelius Vanderbilt to New Haven in
recent years that distinguished man of
millions and of transformations benevo-
lence was accompanied by Chauncey M.
Depew, and after finishing their bust
ness and social hour at Yale these two
famous men took a walk down Chapel
street and, deciding not to call car
riage to go to the depot, stood waiting
near the town pump for depot car,
Mr. Depew entered into a lively chat
with Mr.. Vanderbilt and, pointing out
various spots in the vicinity, called Mr..
Vanderbit's attention to them. Among
the points brought to Mr.. Vanderbilt's
attention were several old landmarks
around which no doubt clustered some
Of Mr.. Depew's many pleasant memories
of days when he was student at Yale
Another feature in which they took a
decided interest was the interesting
Beecher sign on the old Franklin elm q
the street corner.

THE VANDERBILT ESTATE.

| The closest associates of Mr., Wander
bilt on Wall street could make no def
| mite estimate to-day Of his wealth. but
the general disposition was to place the
value at about 500, 100000, which per-
haps exceeds the total value common
ly ascribed to William H. Vanderbtlt's
estate at the time of it's distribution
The fortune that was left to Cornelius
Vanderbilt by the will of his father, who
died on December 8, 1885. was not as
large as has been frequently stated.
| The will Of w. H. Vanderbilt provided
| for a trust fund aggregating $40 000, 600,
which was to be divided into eight
equal parcels of $5000,000 each Each
parcel was to be held in trust separately
for one of the eight children. The trus-
| tees We're to be Maria Louisa Wander
bilt, wife of the testator, and his four
sons, Cornelius William K, Frederick
W., and George w. Vanderbilt, but none
of the trustees was to have any voice
in the administration of his own partic-
ular share. At the death Of either one
of the beneticiaries under the trust
fund, his parcel was to be divided in
equal shares among his children, I'M
less the beneficiary had by his last will
arranged different distribution. This
trust fund is to continue until the death
of the last surviving trustee, when it
is to be divided among the beneficiaries
The trust fund was made up as follows:
$25, 600, 900 4 per cent. u. S. bonds, due
in 1907.
$5,000,000 per cent. second mortgage
bonds Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern, due in 1903.
$8,000,000 Z per cent. 1st mortgage
bonds of same company, due in 1900.
$2000,000 per cent. sinking fund
bonds of Chicago and Northwestern
railway, due in 1929.
$4,000 900 per cent, bonds of same
kind and same company due in 1929.
$2000,o0O per cent. general consol-
dated sinking fund bonds of same com
pany, due in 1915.
$4,00000o Z per cent mortgage bonds
of New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad company due in 1903
$1,0000 900 Z per cent. mortgage bonds
New York and Harlem Railroad COM
pany, due in 1900.
Total, SAL, 100000.
The par value of these securities was
$4o,o00,000. There were restrictions plac-
ed on the reinvestment of this money
when the securities should mature Re
investment was to be made only in
United States bonds bonds of New York
city and state, bonds Of the same rail- |
road, and in mortgages on unencumber-
ed real estate in New York state.
Besides his share in the trust fund |
there was left to Cornelius Vanderbilt |
one-fifth of another fund of $40, 900, 900. |
This share was to go to him directly |
In addition he received the sum of So |
000 900, some portraits, and marble |
bust of his grandfather. The total
amount that went to Cornelius Wander |
bilt was, therefore, $4,000, 900, exclusive |
of real estate

BLUES DEFEAT new LONDON
BY NEW PLA KERS
TIIEYPLlY GOOD Bill.
Good stick Work scores Them 10 Safe
|, Hits-LyMch Forced to Retire From
the Eox After Second Annihs-But
Hits Made or McDOMald-Scorc 1875.

| 1t took just two innings for Lynch to
| be convinced that State league hit
ting was too strong for him, yesterday,
and at the end of that time he retired
| gracefully from the box. During the
| time he was in nine safe hits, two OF
which We're three baggers, We're made
| off him by New Haven and total OF
| eleven runs scored. He was replaced by
| Livingstone, whose place at centertield
| he took himself. For two innings Liv-
| ingstone covered himself with glory;
but it was not of lasting kind; and for
the next four innings he saw his dreams
of future greatness rudely shattered.
BY judicious tossing he kept New Ha-
ven's total of hits for the game down to
nineteen.
1t was a great game-in one respect
it gave more real enjoyment to the
four hundred tried but true cranks that
assembled to see it than any game this
season except the first game with Bris-
toll. Everybody on the home team hit
the ball; and the rare spectacle was
afforded of run by Luchia, a hit by
Davis, and a single by Mcdonald; even
Parent woke up in the seventh inning
and soaked the ball. Whoever it was
that said that the New Haven players
couldn't hit balloon should have the
falsehood crammed down his seditious
throat. What does it matter that Do
Ian, Hemming and Campbell, the three
Springfield players, made nine Of the
nineteen safe hits-tWo of them three
baggers-and eight of the nineteen hits?
The rest of the team would have played
the game just the same and made their
hits just the same. New Ravens bat
ting streak has returned, after a long
absence, it is true, but 1t is received
none the less joyfully, and it is hoped
that it will not again vanish until
Jim O'Rourke is punished for his in
science In making two two baggers and
single in one game at the Savin Rock
grounds.
Mcdonald, as usual, pitched a good
game, holding the visitors down to
seven hits. He allowed none to walk
and struck out four. New Haven field
ed much better game than their OPP
ponents. who made a total of nine err
rors, Foster and Ryan both played
good ball for the visitors. The score:

DERBY WOULDN'T PLAY

Derby Sept. 1.-THE league game
between Derby and Bristol this after
noon was forfeited to the home team
80 on account of wrangling over the
umpire. The visitors objected to John
stone, who President Whitlock had APP
pointed to officiate and when the visit
ors refused to play he awarded the
game to the home team. Outside of
Derby the opinion is prevalent that
the game was forfeited to strengthen
Derbys hold on second place. The
teams afterward played an exhibition
game.

MIR. vANDERBILTs CAREER.

Cornelius Vanderbilt who was the
| second child and oldest son of the late
William H. Vanderbilt and grandson of
Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, the
founder of the family fortune, was born
on November q, 1S43, on the seventy
acre farm at New Dorp, S. l., which
was given to his father by his GRANDPA
Their at the time when the circumstances
of the family We're merely comfortable.
At the age of eighteen, having received
an academic education in this city, he
entered the Shoe and Leather bank as
clerk. tNext he entered the banking
house of Nissan Brothers The good
reports always made concerning his con-
scientiousness, industry and capacity
then led his grandfather, the eommo-
dore, to make him, when about twenty
one, assistant treasurer of the Harlem
Railroad. He was afterwards promot-
ed to be treasurer. Upon the death of
his grandfather he became vice presi-
dent of the Harlem railroad and first
vice president of the New York Central
and Hudson River railroad In 1888 he
became chairman of the board of direc-
tors of the New York Central, which, in
the system of that company, is the
highest official position, as in railway
companies in England. A number of
years ago he erected Vanderbilt hall for
Yale university, as a memorial of his
eldest son, William H. Vanderbilt who
died while student in his Junior year.
In his benevolent work Mr.. Wander
bilt took great interest in the railroad
branches of the Young Mems Christian
association.
