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 «. zwkZk __ AAXZk.ArUk -fj-um ~~~ avi Vi VVV IvT VII <5 IVt, lUI Uvl" dence that breeding is still profitable.

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.

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 leon I.

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. Anklng Was Superfluous. Harriet—And so Fred Dullwich has asked you to marry him, has he?

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. C. G. L.
