One Of the most valuable parcels of unir1-
oroved property in this city sold yesterday.
II is the plot at the southeast corner of Sxtieth-
It and Fifth-ave-, on which stands a low frame
bulding fronting many feet in the avenue and
in the street. The building has long been oc-
cupied as a saloon. Just opposite It. at the
northeast corner of Sixtieth-st and Fffth-ave
is the white marble building Of the Metropolitan
Club and almost adjoining the saloon building
m the south is the Hotel Netherland one of
the largest hotels in this city. The plot on
which the saloon building stands has a frontage
Of at least 100 feet in Fifth-ave. and about 100
feet in the street It was sold for the estate of
william H Lee by Horace S Ely & Co. in con-
junction with John n. GoIding About 81 ,O000 600
was paid for the property, and il was said that
the transaction would eventually represent an
outlay Of three times that sum, as S2.000,OoO
was TO be spent in improving the premises
One Of the persons interested in the deal was
asked yesterday afternoon by a Tribune reporter
If the report that the property had been sold
was true. He said it was He intimated that
he was at liberty at present to give any
details Of the sale Il am sorry,' he said, that
the sale has become known. All the interested
persons were pledged to secrecy, and how II
has already become known is a mystery to me-
'Will you tell the name Of the buyer?" he was
asked.
'T gave ny word that I would make pub
lie any Of the details OF the transaction. and
cannot break my word
as It true that a large apartment hotel Will
be built the site?'
That is also question that I cannot answer
now"
According to the report about the sale, the
buyer is Of the leading members OF the Met

with no pleasing architectural features has
roundings, with the Metropolitan Club north Of
it and the Hotel Netherland almost south Of
it. and the Plaza and Savoy and the Vanderbilt
man sion within short distance OF it. Reports
have been frequently heard that some members
Of the Metropolitan Club were negotiating for
the purchase Of the plot so as to improve the
parcel. but none of these reports were ever cor
roborated.
The property is one with an interesting his
tory. It is related that William NJ. Tweed H.
tended 10 buy it in 1869 and build on it one Of
the largest hotels in the city. Even at that far
day he foresaw the great realty future of that
section of the city. Something occurred, how
ever, :" change his mind about making over
