NEW 6 DUNDY SCHEME
Lease Estate at Fort GeOrSe and VIII Build
Resort known as vanity Fair.

Resort known as vanity Fair.
Thompson & Dundy, proprietors OF the
Hippodrome and Luna Park, are to bulld
a great amusement resort at Fort George,
to be known as Vanity Fair.
They have secured a twenty year lease
Of the Jennings estate, comprising one
hundred city lots. The property overlooks
the Harlem River. Thompson and Dundy
will pay an average rental of $4,000.
When questioned about Vanity Fair last
night, Frederic Thompson said that the
FIRMS plans were entirely embryonic at
the present time. Nothing had yet been
decided upon, except in a general way.
We nave had our eyes on this property
for some time, said Mr.. Thompson AS we
have always believed hat the upper end
of Manhattan Island is splendidly adapted
to a high class amusement resort, embrac-
ing, as it does, an immense population,
which hitherto has never had a place such
as we intend to establish where the summer,
and winter evenings could be pleasantly
spent.
we have leased this property as a specu-
lation, intending to make from year to yRar
the improvements which Mr.. Dundy and |
can afford. The amusement palace we
propose to build at Fort George will differ
in character from anything in existence
and will be constructed and exclusively
owned by Thompson d Dundy.'
MI. Thompson said John w. Gates, H. s.
Black n other capitalists who helped
finance the Hippodrome had no part in
this new venture.
Thompson and Dundy have been making
extensive improvements at Luna Park this
winter. The day after Luna Park was
closed last fall a force of 500 men was put
to work and this force has since been in
oreaSed IN 1 00O.
