What was looked upon at first as
merely the desire OF state to honor
distinguished son has grown into a
nationwide serious endeavor TO give
the democratic presidential nomina-
tion TO Oscar Underwood, the bril-.

thoroughly and eminently equipped
for this exalted position, and severy

ASTORSR|CHEST
IN REAL ESTATE
OF FAMILYs LAND
HOLDINGS IN GREATER NEW
YORK ALONE FooTs UP TOTAL
VALUATION OF s225, 100000 AND
is TOP RECORD FOR AMERICAN
HOUSE.
Special to The Journal

New York, Oct 2s.-Much interest
has been excited in the result Of q
compilation of the real estate held in
this city in the name OF the Aston
family. Although the municipalities
largest individual taxpayers for many
years, nothing like an accurate list Of
the holdings OF the family has ever
been prepared and there has been con-
siderable speculation as to the value
of them. On the island of Manhattan
alone, the list as prepared with the
consent Of the tax department, shows
realty of an approximate value Of
$3.50, 900. In the borough Of the
Bronx, land appraised as worth $780,
100000 is registered in the name Of the
family. In addition to this the estate
owns property in the borough Of
Brooklyn, Newport and elsewhere Of
the value of $25,000,0OO or more.
All of the realty holdings Of the
family are in the direct line of the
city's greatest development and are
increasing in value tremendously year
by year. A large part Of the real
estate is improved with Office and lofty
buildings, apartments and hotels and
is bringing in substantial revenues.
With the possible exception Of the
Duke of Westminster, who is reputed
to have an annual income Of S15,0oO,O00
a year from the real estate he owns in
LONDON, the ASIOrS are the TlCQeSL
land owners in the world.
BY sticking closely to the policy out
lined for the family by the original
John Jacob Aston before his death,
some sixty odd years ago, the S25,OOO,-
GOO estate he left has been built up
to it's present imposing proportions.
The elder Aston whose sole asset on
arriving here in the steerege of a
sailing ship from the Duchy of Wal
dorf was a stock of seven flutes and
a shrewd head, made it a practice to
buy unimproved real estate in the out
lying sections Of the city along the
line of its natural Improvement. AS
the city grew up to his property, IT
appreciated in value through no effort
of his own and he either sold it at
substantial profit or made 1t incoys,,.
producing by building on it. This has
been the policy of the family ever
since.
While the Astors hold large blocks
Of standard railroad and other secur-
tiles, the bulk of their fortune is in
real estate of this caracter which is
constantly increasing in value. In this
respect the family is the most soNdly
intrenched financially of any in
America. Panics with their wild huc-
tuations in the values Of stocks never
bother them. However much the
stock riggers Of Wall street may de-
press the market IT can neither worry
or impoverish them.
Title TO the immense reality holdings
Of the family is about evenly divided
between William Waldorf Aston, who
lives at Cliveden, England, and is now
British subject and his brother,
Colonel John Jacob Aster. The COM
bined wealth Of the two brothers is
now estimated at s500,000,000.

and woman's work in office and fac
tory and school will be exhibited.
The Midway will extend in one
straight street throughout the grounds
and neat little offices have been erect
ed for General Manager Lill2rd and
Manager of Concessions and Grounds
Lew Rose, so that the exhibitor or
visitor may reach either one at any
time that they wish.
I'VE have pondered over past mis-
takes said General Manager Lillard
yesterday, and have resolved to elimi-
nate them this year and hencefor-

fence separating the race track from
the fair grounds so that visitors who
do not pay for seats in the grand
stand may see the races If they care
to do so from the grounds. We have
arranged for plenty of light and the
grounds will be lighted with 5000 16-
candle power electric lights, while two
big wells will keep the 5000 gallon
tank of fresh, pure water filed all the
while. 1t will be light enough for the
visitor to read letter from home on
