MAGNIFICENT HOMES
FOR STYLISH EQUINES
HORSE HOMES IN NEW YORK THAT
COST $1,000,000.
Where the Asters, the Delatenta, the Rock
efellers, the Benedlctsand Other Wealthy
Owners Keep Their Thoroughbreds.
Targe Sums Spent In Their Care.
[Special Correspondence.!
•Naw York, Nov. bow the
“horsy set”—and when one says the
Vhorsy set” one might just as well Say
I the 150 of New York and be done with
it—is bowing down antbWorshiping at
the shrine of the thoroughbred.
Os course you all know that it is
tairse show time, and that means that
the leaders of-society are devoting them
selves alone to smart traps and the big
affair at Madison Square Garden.
But there is one thing the general
public doesn't iknow, and that is what
it costs to maintain a swell stable in the
first city of the new world.
More than $1,500,000 is expended
yearly on the care of the horse in this
city by the owners of 50 stables alone.
This is given on the authority of W. D.
’Grand and Martin J. Logan of the
American Horse Exchange. This
$1,500,000 applies only to those whose
establishments cost from $20,000 to
$40,000 per annum. In addition to such
there are perhaps 100 stables that re-
- quire a yearly outlay of SIO,OOO each
■ and 200 the running expenses of which
-easily reach $5,000. Thus it will be
aeen that no less than $3,500,000 is put
in circulation by the aristocrats whose
fad is the noblest of ancient or modern
animals.
And, aside from these figures, mil
lions more have been spent in the con
struction of stables for the petted prize
winners and roadsters of the rich.
Belcourt alone, the stables of the
O. H. P. Belmont, cost upward
'of SIOO,OOO. And now he has gone and
sold most of the blooded stock therein,
and of the 40 thoroughbreds he former
ly owned he has disposed of all but ten.
’The 30-brought an average price of

dence that breeding is still profitable.
Those who know Mr. Belmont predict
that he will soon be a purchaser again
- and that the sale was merely a weeding
- out one. In his lot was the famous

sold to James Stillman, the millionaire
Wall street broker, for $3,800. It is
said that Mr. Stillman intends erecting
a magnificent stable on Fifty-eighth
street, just off Fifth avenqe, and that it
will not cost a penny short of $75,000.
Fully this amount was expended by
William R. Rockefeller ou his hand
some stable at Tarrytown. The stables
of John Jacob Astor on West Fifty
eighth street are more modest without,
but inside they are fitted with every
■convenience for the health and comfort
of the horse. The stalls are veritable
• palaces and the drainage perfect.
Os the horsewomen, Miss Benedict,
daughter of Commodore E. C. Benedict,
on whose yacht Oneida ex-President
Cleveland spent so many vacations, and
Mrs. W. E. D. Stokes are perhaps the
only ones who have epent more than
$50,000 for stabling purposes. Miss

about $87,000. Mrs. Howland, a daugh
ter of the late August Belmont, is ac
knowledged to be one of the best horse
women in America, but many of her
equipages are of foreign make and
strange appearance. She frequently uses
a Russian drosky, which looks very like
an American victoria, therein differing
from the ones so common in Petersburg.
Another favorite of Mrs. Howland’s is
the demidaumont, which, as the name
implies, is half a daumont, a vehicle
driven by outriders or jockeys, the car
riage proper having no coach box or
driving seat This style of driving was
introduced by the Due Daumont, an ec
centric nobleman of France under Napo

in her horses, rigs and stables.

BACK FROM THE SYNOD.
Condition of the Presbyterian Church in
Georgia. ,
Rev. Dr. Jas. Y. Fair, of tbe Indepen
dent Presbyterian church, who spent
several days at the annual meeting of the
synod of Georgia at Rome, in speaking of
the session yesterday said it was one of
the most delightul he had ever attended,
says the Savannah News. The meeting
was' largely attended he said, and
though practically nothing but routine
business was transacted, much good
was accomplished, and all felt that the
meeting was a very beneficial one.
The synodical communion for all the
ministers was observed for the first
time, and the sermon on this occasion
was preached Friday night by Dr. Fair.
Everything seemed to indicate, Dr.
Fair said, that the conditions of the
church in Georgia were encouraging,
and the prospects are exceedingly bright
for a steady growth and improvement
in each department. Dr. Fair was ranch
impressed by the beauty of Rome, and
the hospitality of its people.

SHOOTING ’GATORS.
The Demand For the Scaly M*a»«ters* Hlflea
Makes a Fairly Profitable Calling.
[Special Correspondence. ]
St. Johns, Fla., Nov. 15.—1 t was
eight er ten years ago that bunting alli
gators for profit began co a noticeable
scale. Before that they were shot for
sport chiefly, and often tbe hides were
never gathered. Along in the eighties,,
however, the demand for alligator skins
became strong enough to warrant a
number of men making their capture a
regular business, and while there have
been fluctuations from time to time in
the demand the occupation seems to
have come to stay.
- The alligator pot hunter kills his
scaly game in rather a different manner
from that adopted by the sportsman.
The best places to bag 'gators are to be
found at the mouths of streams empty
ing into the sea or its arms, where the
water is “brackish”—half salt and half
fresh. The best time toget them is at
night. 'Gator hunters never go after
their scaly game singly, of course.
Sometimes there are only two in the
party, but oftener more.
They go in small boats on moonless
nights, rowing as quietly as possible to
the places where the ’gators are pretty
sure to be found. Each boat crew car
ries a lantern, which is held in the bow
of the boat exactly as torches are some-
TBE FLORIDA ALLIGATOR.
times used in hunting deer. The light
serves both to attract the ’gators and to
“shine their eyes,” as it is called here
—that is, the light from tbe lantern is
reflected from the alligators’ eyeballs,
thus rendering the game visible.
Once a gator has got sight of the
shining lantern he rarely tries to es
cape unless there is undue noise, and so
all the hunters have to do is to row
softly toward him until only a few feet
of water intervenes between the boat
and the monster. Then a rifle ball is
fired directly into one of the creature’s
gleaming eyeballs. This does not inva
riably kill him, even if he is fairly hit
—in fact, it does not seem always to
stun him, but it does confuse and anger
hi|ii beyond measure, and a great thrash
ing about in the water ensues.
The hunten are always provided with
a sharp hook fastened to a long pole,
and with this implement they aim to
catch the alligator before he starts off.
Then comes the fun, since the wounded
saurian is generally strong enough to
drag the boat some distance at a smart
pace. After awhile he slows down from
exhaustion, and then a second shot is
administered, ;nd this generally ends
the struggle. The teeth are in almost
as much demand as the hides, being
worked into jewelry, whistles, etc.

THE RANDEGGER RECITAL.
A Strong Endorsement From Huglies
Reynolds of the Brilliant Pianist.
To the Editor of The Tribune:—
Lovers oi music should not miss tbe
opportunity to hear the Randegger
recital at the opera house next Friday
evening. Signor Randegger is a native
of Naples, and has lived in Atlanta
for the last two years. Os late he has
been attracting a good deal Os atten
tion in his recitals in Augusta, Macon
and Atlanta. He displays an almost
complete tenique, which combined
with the entense feeling of Southern
Italy makes his music a rarer treat
than we often have the pleasure of
bearing in Rome.
The writer has heard him several
times and promises a treat to all who
go. Hughes Reynolds.
