SECURED A LAKE.
Success of w. X. vnndervilt's Con-
tinued Effort at Lake Success.

NEW YORK. Oct. s1.-After a struggle
lasting eighteen months. VIM. K. Wander
bilt. jr., has succeeded in gaining permission
TO close the public highway leading to Lake
Success on his beautiful Long island es-
tate. near Hampstead.
Failing to purchase the lake after ac-
cuiring his estate in and around that body
OF water. Mr.. Vanderbilt asked for the
lease Of strip Of ground that forms the
connecting link between an old road and
the waters OF the lake. There was nothing
of record TO show that the board of trus-
tees of North Hampstead ever acquired
ownership OF the disputed right OF way to
the lake save by prescription and use. The
idea that Mr. Vanderbilt would stock the
stream with fish and hold 1t as a private
preserve aroused much opposition.
Previous to the election a year ago. he
made an offer of $4,000 to the town for
the lake. IL was determined TO settle the
question by the ballot. So intense was the
feeling that the vote polled was more than
that at the presidential election and the
offer was rejected. Finally Mr.. Vanderbilt
appeared before the trustees and applied
for lease running ninety-nine years, in
return for which concession he proposed
opening road to the lake by another
route Ills opponents still refused to
capitulate. but the matter was put to a
vote OF the board and he won.
