NEW YORK A CITY OF FLATS
First Modern Apartment House
Built 43 Years Ago.
Sutherfond Stuyvesant Got the Idea
From Paris and Other Realty
Owners Took It Up—Bring
Very High Rentals Now.
New York.—lt might have been cen
uries instead of forty-three years
lince* the first apartment house was
erected in this city, so great has been
he improvement in this popular type
>f dwelling. Rutherford Stuyvesant,
a member of the old Stuyvesant fam
ily, was the first to introduce the
apartment in this country. He had
seen apartments in Paris. They were
popular there with the best of peo
ple. Besides, it increased the ability
•if the owner to pay his tax bills and
other expenses.
The tax problem interested Mr.
.Stuyvesant, as he owned considerable
property about the city. Probably this
was the reason for his interest in
Paris apartment houses. After con
vincing himself that they would go in
New York, he erected the Rutherford,
st 142 East Eighteenth street, soon
*fter the Civil war. It was known as
the French flats, and was the talk of
rhe town. The Rutherford Stuyvesant
house is still standing, and according
to brokers, has comparatively few va
cancies. It is five stories high, 112
feet wide and ninety-two feet deep.
There are four apartments of seven
rooms each to a floor. It has steam
beat and hot water and is absolutely
soundproof.
The reception that met the apart
ment house was so great that many
builders entered the apartment house
field. •Os late years the number has
Increased considerably. These build
ers have given up the construction of
ill but apartment houses, which has
sot to be a science requiring constant
attention and application. Through
this specializing New York has been
forced in the last ten years into the
front rank as the apartment center
of the world.
NO BRONZE FOR SHAMROCK
Sir Thomas Lipton’s Cup Defender’s
Hull May Be Made of Alumi
num Metal.
London. —There has been, consider
able discussion in yachting circles
here over the report cabled from
Imerica that the boat which is to
defend the America's cup is to be
built of bronze and to have silk sails.
One of the Shamrocks was built partly
of bronze, and its advantage over
steel in securing a fine polished sur
face below the waterline is well
known.
Some English naval architects, how
ever, favor a patent alloy of alumi
num as material for the hull of a fast
racing yacht. A small boat built in
England of this material was found to
be equal to any steel boat in point of
stability, at about half the weight.
Charles E. Nicholson, who is to
build the new Shamrock, however,
does not favor It, so it is not likely
to be used in Sir Thomas Lipton’s
challenger.
As to silk sails, English yachtsmen

Many of our apartments here rival
palaces in grandeur and fittings.
Scores of such houses may be found
on Park avenue, Fifth avenue, Mad
ison avenue, Broadway, West End av
enue, Riverside drive and crosstown
streets to the east and west of Cen
tral park. A private dwelling fitted
in the fashion of many of the suites
in houses along these streets would
rent for figures many times that which,
is asked for these apartments. Many
families have learned this and are giv
ing up costly dwellings to live in
apartment houses, in which they are
deprived of nothing that they had in
the dwelling, yet are saving several
thousand dollars a year by the change,
enough in many cases to maintain the
latest in motor cars.
Rents have Increased, but tho great
improvement that has been made in
apartment houses warrants the in
crease. In other words, the increase
in rents has not been as great as the
increase made in tho construction and
appointment of these houses.
South of One Hundred and Six
teenth street there Is not an apart
ment house where a suite may be had
for less than sls a room. In many of
the best apartment houses SSO a room
is nothing unusual. Apartments of
two and I Iree rooms bring compara
tively more rent than the large suites,
S2O a room being the lowest rental
that a small size apartment can be
had for. They run as high as S6O
and S7O a room. In some of the ex
pensive small suite apartments to the
west of Park avenue and on the side
streets along the west side, $75 a room
Is often received. Up to two years
ago there were kitchenettes attached
to small suite apartments. This year
builders havo not been permitted to
build kitchenettes: instead miniature
kitchens have been Introduced.
Park avenue has usurped the honor
of being the leading apartment street
of the city. It is only a few years
since builders of apartments gave any
attention to the east side of the city.
All their operations were along Broad
way, Riverside drive and West End
avenue. It Is only a few years since
the first apartment house was erect-

ed in Park avenue, yet most of the
blocks on either side of the avenue
from Fifty-second to Eighty-third
street, are lined now with tall apart
ments, which are said to be the best
in the' city. Though Park avenue is
considered the leading apartment
house avenue in the city, rentals
there are not exorbitant —in fact,
apartments in new buildings may be
got to lit almost any purse. Six rooms
and two baths can be had for $1,700
a year. Suites can be had even for
less rent than this. From ‘51,700 rents
range gradually to SIO,OOO, which is
about the highest rental paid on the
avenue. This rent i^ obtained in the
seventeen story apartment at Seventy
ninth street. Prices in this bouse are
from $9,000 to SIO,OOO.
About two blocks away, at the cor
ner of Fifth avenue and Eighty-first
street, as high as $5,000 a year may
be paid for apartments. This prob
ably is the highest-priced apartment
house in the world.
West End avenue has been the scene
of most of tho apartment house build
ing on the west side since last sea
son. Half a dozen fine houses have
been erected there.

' Legal Quarrel Over Legion of Honor
Results in Challenge for
Battle.
Paris. —A challenge to a duel was
sent by one French septuagenarian
warrior, General Bose, aged seventy
two. to another still older, General
Georges Florentin, aged seventy-sev
en. grand chancellor of the Legion of

The quarrel had its origin in legal
proceedings started by General Flor
entin to prevent members of the So
ciety of National Merit, founded by
General Bose, from wearing a button
among its insignia and thus infring
ing the privileges of members of the
Legion of Honor,
The seconds of the two aged officers
