is held near the great house he owns
as his chief country home. But he is
hardly important as yachtsman.
The great annual cruise of the New
York Yacht club eastward was more
impressive spectacle this year than
ever before, in spite of the detection of
the speed-madness motor boatmen, but
the principal yachts in that splendid pro-
cession were owned by men who do not
greatly specialize upon horse display

the late Alfred Corning Clark as &
bright young man to represent the
Clark estate on the West Side of New
York city.
The Clark estate was potent factor
in the city's life at one time. On the West.
side lay great areas of vacant land Peo-
pie feared to build there. 1t was a maxim
that to build on West side lands
spelled failure. Clark knew that the
way to break prejudice was not to tap
it, but to smash it. He sent an architect
to France to study fiat architecture, to
return, to put into fiat building which
should be the finest in the world the best
ideas he had CLEANED, regardless of ex-
pense. The enterprise was not to yield
more than four per cent profit The
quest was fruitful in solid building,
which is still among the best, as it is
probably the most exclusive Of New
York's apartment houses. 1t has wait

At the same time Clark began to build
rows of great private houses costing
$4,000 each. He set the character of
