POLICIES
on INSURANCE
Mutual Life TnS. Co. Of New
York Holds Record in
This Particular

New York. Oct. 2.-The tendency of
business men to protect their estates
by policies of life insurance is becom-
ing as general as to protect their build
ings by policies OF fire insurance. Since
George w Vanderbilt, of New York,
and Frank II. Peavy. Of Minneapolis,
each took policies for 1OOOOO.OOO a
few years since in the Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York, there
has been no equally large sum
written on one individual. Those re
main the record figures for the world.
But policies Of $4,000 and 100000 and
even 100000. are so frequent as TO
cause little comment, and even when
Sidany A. Wltherbee. Cf Detroit, took
$4,000 in five per cent. gold bond in
surance from the Mutual Life early in
this year, il passed almost as q matter
of course. It is significant that when
a business mans estate is settled these
days life insurance is generally found
TO be a very important part of it. often
all there is of it. Life insurance in one
of the great companies yields as good
a rate Of interest as any investment,
apart from the protection it affords.

IMPROVEMENTS TO COUNTRY Club
Members Much Interested in The Work Of
the Association

1t has been decided by the members of
the new Country Club TO make a number
of marked Improvement AT and about the
clubhouse location.
The committee in charge Of grounds
will proceed at once to prepare eighteen
new holes on the golf links instead of
nine holes as are now in use. The members
have been much pleased with the links
as they now are but the additions pro-
posed will make them equal to any in
this section of the country.
Moving machines and large lawn now
ors drawn by horses are rapidly prepar-
ing the additional grounds for use. A
very attractive spot TO the west Of the
new clubhouse site is now being pre-
pared for tennis courts and will soon be
in condition for play.
The new rail bunkers which are
noticeable from the turnpike and which
resemble a section Of worm fence, have
brought many expert golfers TO grief and
have brought additional hazard to scores.
The demand for lockers has been 50
great that every available foot Of space
in the building has been occupied. The
committee in charge of the plans for the
new building viii meet tonight and il is
anticipated that the plans will be ready
for the builders in a few days.

New York, Oct. st looked early
this morning as if Sir Thomas Lipton's
wish for a strong off-shore breeze and
a smooth sea had been granted, for at
8 o'clock a grand twenty-four knot
breeze was blowing straight out
of the northwest. and the sea had de-
creased so that there was scarcely any
surf along the Jersey shore. Coasters
from the harbOr ran rapidly down the
Jersey shore, and some Of the fast
steamers going sOutherly had the
smoke from their stacks blown far out
ahead of them. One or two pilot boats
on their stations inside Sandy Hook

even then seemed to have considerable
heel. But the sea was beautifully
smooth. there being scarcely more than
a ripple breaking on the shore, while
the vessels out to sea stood steadily
along with very little roll.
Sir Thomas Upton was cut early and
rubbed his hands with glee when he
came on the deck of the Erin.
"This is what we want" he said. "If
it holds we will have a good race. The
Shamrock should do well today"
The captains and crews of both
yachts breakfasted early, and soon af-
ter o'clock they were on board their
respective boats. The Columbia's stay
sail and iib were sent up in stops. Fif-
teen minutes later the Shamrock's were
sent up. Then sail covers were taken
off the mainsails. and after Captains
