appeared as Johnny" Carroll, the
well-hated Tammany leader, who
earned opprobrium from most of the
boys" by getting Mayor Van Wyck
into the ice trust scandal. However,
Mr.. Carroll has acquired something
like So ,O00,O 900 in politics and business
and can afford house among the
swells. He tore down the old "brown-
stone front" on the lot and expended
something like 100000 in putting up q
six-story american basement" in the
best style, spending some $7,400 upon
each front foot of his plot. 1t ought to
be a fine house for that; and it is. Fine
enough, at any rate, so that Mrs. Hunt
ington made repeated efforts to get
the place back again and has now
bought it for some $400,000, repre-
senting pretty profit.
Another item: James Henry Smith,
''the silent man of Wall street." has
bought part of the Hotel Langham site
for a private residence. 1t will cost
him probably $1,00O,000 for house and
land, for an "inside" residence upon
so feet of frontage.
The same silent millionaire will
build on the west side of Central park
$5OO,OoO squash court" and gymna-
SUM. 1t will be for ladies' use in part.
The old Mnickerbocker Athletic club
gymnasium, scene of the Molineux
plottings and later cause in part of
Brewer Ballantine's failure, has been
sold for a hotel for $550,0o0. Society
women were negotiating for it for o
women's gymnasium. 1t is thought
that they will build another. The
Berkeley Lyceum answers some of the
purposes, but it is not enough.
The athletic woman is not often long
in town, but when she is she must have
