Alfred a. Vander bilt, whom the English press delight In calling "the richest young man In the world. baa taken one of the moat 'swagger" flat In London; For tha privilege of living on the sixth floor overlooking Piccadilly, the famous Lon don thoroughfare, the American million aire Is paying $10,000 a year. As the t ent does not Include- rates and taxes, there u an extra Item of expense of about JS.000 per annum. To the British public (260 a week looks like a tall price to pay Just to keep a flat roof over . tners head, tut to the scion oT the Vanderbllts, with his experience of 26.-(-00 suites at the Astoria and one of 150,000 at the New Plata, It is a mere, bagatelle. ....-":. - So far "as" London Is concerned, tha flats in which young Vanderbilt is now settled. are the last word in their Una. Nothing like them has ever been at tempted In this part of the world, and the American, with his Transatlantic Ideas of unlimited expenditure,, is the Only person who has as yet had the nerve to rent One. They are built on the site of the mansion of the late Duke of Cambridge, and stand midway between the high class club district and May fair, thi home of England's 'Tour Hun dred." Next to them, and stretching up Piccadilly to Apsley house, the town residence of the Duke of Wellington, which shuts Hvde oark. are the several residences - occupied- by-, tb famous Itothschild family, the kinge or inane. ' J Oft Parjt-Jfcaas.- - ---' : The building in which Vanderbilt haa . taken up his quarters, has a frontage on Ficcamliy or almost 10 reel ana on Park Lane of about S00 feet It Is of gray granite, rather fantastically and ostentatiously ornamented with- glased green brick.' Thera are six flats (over fiere they have not yet learned the nice distinction between flat and apartment), each one of which contains 10 large bed rooms, three bathrooms, a number of smoking, billiard- and drawing rooms, cloakrooms, kitchen, halls, boudoirs and a great big ballroom. A man without any family with him. ought to worry &lon r on that. - i Mr. Vandervilt has denied that there Is any serious trouble between him and lila wife, and some time aeo there was a- rumor that., with his better half at 'the head of his establishment, he In tended doing quite a little entertaining (luring the coming London horse show 1 season. The American, millionaire has been chosen one of the Judges for the enow, but "will not bo an exhibitor as last year. , smart "Start." It Is now thought" that If ha does anything in the way of entertaining It "will take the form of smart ''stags" for those associated with him at Olympla. Of course, should he wish to give a co tillon or two to -Include the fair sex. "Keggie" Vanderbilt and his wife will 1 be in town, and his sister-in-law would always be available an nostess, Almost any degree of entertaining In a flat would be a novelty for English society.-- wnen a smart lonaon matron who lives in a flat wishes to play the fart of hostess, she generally takes her friends to the Kits or to Claxldge'a. For in the usual run or juonaon iiats tners Is not enough room to do anything much except sleep, (some or tnem are so small that the servants are compelled jo Sleep out. mwrn TIOE 10 REST Trials of Ex-Boss of San Francisco Delayed by Or- " der of the Court. , (United Press tease Wlrs.) . .
