~TWENTY-STORY HOTEL.
Magnificent Structure to BE Erected
Mt New York at a Cost of Ten
Million Dollars.

Through the sale of the Plaza hotel
property at Fifth avenue, Fifty-eighth
and Fifty-ninth streets, New York city,
to the George A.. Fuller company and
allied interests, there is to be erected
on the site a new 20-story hotel which
those interested in the enterprise say
is to be the finest structure of it's kind
in the world. The price paid to the New
York Life Insurance company for the
property is $4,000, 900, and among trans
actions involving no element of trade it
is believed that the purchase ranks as
the largest in the city's real estate
annals. Including the cost of the new
hotel building the enterprise will in
volve nearly $4,000. 900. Associated
with the George A. Fuller company in
the purchase are the Central Realty,
Bond and Trust company and Hall
garten q Co. Through the bankers,
1t is understood, considerable foreign
capital will be interested in the project.

He is in many respects, says the New

often on the stage than in real life.
He is a character essentially American,

Fitzsimmons had challenged him, the
