BIG DEMAND FOR SEATS
AT REAL ESTATE DINNER
TWenty-first Annual Affair at
Waldorf on February 8

The twenty-frst annual dinner Of
the Real Estate Board Of New York
will be held on Saturday evening, Feb
ruary 8, at o'clock, at the Waldorf
Astoria. The entire programme for
the dinner has not yet been definitely
arranged, but the plans have proceeded
far enough to make IL possible 70 an
nounce that the chief speaker will be
Mayor Mitchell. Senator Elon X. Brown,
the majority leader in the Legislature,
and W. Bourke Cochran will also make
speeches. The programme when com
pleted is expected to include some
highly entertaining features, which, It
IS hoped, will be thoroughly sppre-
ciated by the guests. Chairman Sniffin,
Of the dinner committee, is, If possible,
more than usually optimistic about the
success of the dinner.
Mr.. Sniffin says that the advance
sales are far ahead Of previous years
and makes this early announcement OF
the dinner chiefly on account Of this
fact. "Many persons" SAYS Mr..
Snifin, "who thoroughly intend to be
present at the dinner and to get the
best scat in the house defer until the
last moment the making of the neces-
sarv arrangements and are quite nat
urally disappointed when they hnd
that the earlier corners have been best
served The results already indicate
that this procedure will this year be
more than ordinarily unwlse.'

MRS. LYNCH, 81, SEEKS
BUYER FOR PARCEL
She Is the Merriest and Sweetest
Wall Street Landlord

A dear old lady is looking forward
with much hope to next Tuesday, for
on that day she expects TO sell her
property at 81 and 90 Beaver ST. at
satisfactory figure. But, whether the
price offered for the property at auc-
ton is poor or good, she has instruct
ed Joseph P. Day. through her coun-
sci, John T. Fenton, TO sell the prem
ises. Therefore the highest bidder
viii become the owner.
This dear old lady has an active
mind. although her step is slow. A
snow-white color long ago crept into
her hair. She is just eighty-two years
old, the oldest, yet the merriest and
sweetest landlord in the Wall Street
district. She feels that the auction
market can absorb her property, and
her Judgment Is begotten Of her long
years Of experience, particularly in
regard to realty progress in the cen
tire of financial and brokerage houses
and skyscrapers. She is Mrs. James
Lynch. widow Of one of the foremost
wool brokers of his time, who had his
Office in the building that is going to
be sold under the hammer next Tues
day
