G!yEN UP TO TRADE
Only the Old Guard Holds Forth
on Fifth Avenue, N. Y.
Fashionable Thorouohfare Has Bee"
Almost Completely Sold Out to In
vadina Mereenariss-oniy Few
Prominent Families Remain.

New York.-Imperious old Fifth
avenue has gone-not into clay. but
into trade. At Ffty-second street the
Vanderbilts. the Sloanes and the Shep-
ards. buttressed behind their massive
mansions. have been making the last
stand Of the old guard against the In
vasion of mercenaries. But now. un-
like the old guard. they have surren-
dered. and within a year Mrs. Cor.
nelius Vanderbilt will have for third
door neighbor a French modists with
fine. big electric signs to enliven the
famous mansion at F1fty-seventh
street. where for years and years the
destinies of social America have been
swaysd.
1t Is well within the memory OF
most New Workers. when Fifth avenue
from F1ftieth to F1fty-ninth street was
SO exclusive that only the Knicker.
bockers could live there. whatever
their wealth. Then policemen frowned
creaseless trousers off the street. Now
folks of all classes mingle freely. and
there is only one block in all the ten
where trade has not intruded. In this
block within six months an apartment
house with promised height of some
hundreds of feet will crown the neigh
borhood.
The whole story of 1t all is that the
"old Fifth avenue" has sold out. 1t has
received more money consideration
from trade for moving up town into
the new Fifth avenue than the senti
mental satisfaction of preserving Its
ancestral homes was worth. 1t has
emigrated northward-or to Europe,
therefore. leaving only the three Van
derbilts. the Sloanes. the Shepards
the Huntingtons and William Rookie.

This was because of the drouth
which prevailed and the necessity Of
the farmers keeping crops growing as
long as possible to counteract the i'll
effects of the early August frost and
the very late spring.
Many of the reservoirs over the
county are enlarging so that they may
catch the flood waters and the early
SHOWS which melt in the fall. Hereto

were sufficient to fill the reservoirs as
the reservoir water was used only for
