Tor numerous servants. all bespeak
great wealth and modern methods. but
the thousand and one little convent
ehces-for instance, the wiring Of the
dining room so that the butler can
press a button and light it-aIl be-
/ speak a generosity that does not hesi-
] tate at dollars TO obtain the least adj
ditional comfort.
{ Perhaps there is no more attractive
portion Of the great house to the aver
/ age leisure loving citizen than the long
I portlco of stone extending some eighty
teet along the rear Of the house, con-
/ sequently facing the north. From the
( western extremity of this porch can
/ De seen the yellow walls and red terra
roof of the stallion barn Of Elmendorf,
/ IN which are housed Mr.. Haggin's
\ great horses.
It lies low down beside the training
stable of white and green towering
above it, and the red clay soil of the
| track, over which the trotting queen,
Nancy Hanks, received the preparation
/ of her early years, appears here and
there through the majestic forest trees
on the left while on the right is the
/ plain brick dwelling Of the Kinney
/ place, now being remodeled to be used
/ as an annex to the servants quarters
in the big mansion.
But there are myriads of other inter-
esting features at Green Hills, which
| to describe would take a volume. The
/ lodge is thing of rustic beauty, built
/ Of rough stone, and finely cOntrasted
with the magnifcence of the house.
/ Once Mr.. Haggin takes up his resi-
: dence here, no one without his personal
invitation will be admitted, and it viii
be as hard to get through the lodge az
/ Green Hills as to obtain entrance into
/ Sandringham palace.
With this great estate, including
| ElmendOrf, all of 1900 acres, this little
colony all his own, and of which he is
King, with a modern palace, a young
/ wife who adoFes him, and hundreds of
! thoroughbred horses that he loves.
! Mr.. Haggin expects to find on this
4 Blue Grass farm the greatest happi-
ness in the declining years of his long
I life that his millions can give him.
! When he comes 10 take 10 his sum-
| mer residence here early in May he
viii come west in his private car with
! his wife and a Tetinue of easterh So
/ ciety people. who will hold a great
house warming, for few weeks and
/ here will begin a new era in Kentucky
/ hospitality. As generous as is the aver
/ age man of wealth in this state in
4 oLen-hearted liberality to friends and
visiting strangers, he can i'll afford to
/ compete with the many millions of the
/ California money king who cannot an
nually spend the income of his many
! great possessions, and even the build
/ ing of a $780, 900 house cause no strain
on his purse strings.
