Another of the moat notedoNeir'i York's old. iline rich men has given up the struggle and has come to regard the city aa a hope less place for a quiet residence. Twenty-five years ago there, were few men better known in New York than Frank Work, stock exchange magnate, horse man and man-about-town. . . r--'v Until a few years ago Mr., Work used to drive: his own pair up the avenue with as much spirit as in the old days when he owned that famous pole team Edward and Swlveller.

But now a real estate man has bought the lot next door to that . , -iron-grated front yard, where the old gentleman likes to bask in sunny weather, and will put up a ZS-story loft building there. "When 1 bought this house," said Mr. Work, "I expected to live here all my life. Bat now I've got to move. They're driving roe out, these men yet, Just turning m out on the streets. "Where am I going to go? : I've looked around up town for a house, but can't rind What I want You see, I must have a " house with a front yard. and that's hard to find. .

He kept Dick Swlveller in his stable with every at tention until that horse was well over 10." and finally dropped off with no suffering. When Edward was 20 Mr. Work sent his -favorite to a stock farm on Long Island, where the animal proved to be a veritable Methusaleh of his kind, living to see his thirty- sixth year.
