many to allow it to deter me in my
efforts to meet with success in my
chosen profession. I am not a polite

asking for office only for the reason

DeLafeld Family Incorporates for Mutual Benefit
.o.e.e.e.o.o.a.o.oaaaa.

The ambitious Immigrant arrived in
New York under happy auspices. His
voyage across the Atlantic in the Brit
lsh letter of marque ship Vigilant was
enlivened by the capture of a Dutcl
vessel, for which in recognition of
his aid during the fight, which today
might be termed piracy, he received
as his share of the prize money 600.
John Delafeld brought to America
the first copy of the treaty of peace
which formally closed the revolution.
His sister had married William Ar
mold, the grandfather of the celebrat-
ed Matthew Arnold, and a close friend
ct the time of William Pitt, the prime
minister.
Pitt learned so it is said, through
Arnold, that young Delafield WIS
about to sail for New York, and the
Urine minister gave Arnold a dupli-
cate copy of the treaty, with instruc-
tons to intrust it to Delafield an
honor which evidently indicates that
the family held position of some
distinction in English circles.
He at once entered mercantile l'fe
and succeeded so well that fifteen
years later in 1898, he was able to
retire as one of the wealthiest men
IN the city. He was the founder in
1857 of the Mutual Insurance Com
pany, the first fire insurance company
organized in New York after the rev.
olution. In 1892 he was elected a
director of the branch bank of the
United States, and in 1896 he was
one of forty merchants who subscrib,
ed $4,000 apiece to found the Unit

was president for some time. He was
