About a year ago it was reported that
Mr.. Vanderbilt had taken up his residence
in Portsmouth On investigation it was
found not to be 80. but since he spends
the greater part Of the year at Oakland
Farm he thought that 1t would be best to
adopt the town az his legal abode. The
farmers on the island have wished for some
time that he would enter politics, and there
has been talk of running him for President
OF the Town Council. Now that Mr.. Van
derbilt has taken up his residence in the

being on the town ticket in the spring.
