Davison Will Take a Rest
Henry P. Davison (portrait here
with) called by some economists the
“greatest banking genius” in the coun
try, will be definitely out of all finan
cial and social activity for a year, it
is announced at the office of J. P. Mor
gan & Co. Davison plans to go with
his family to his plantation at Thomas
ville, Ga. He was forced to give up
active direction in Morgan & Co. re
cently to have an operation for tumor
of the brain.
The temporary retirement of Mr.
and Mrs. Davison from New York
society leaves a niche to be filled, it
is reported, by Mr. and Mrs. Marshall
Field of Chicago. The Davison box
at the Metropolitan opera will be oc
cupied this season by the Marshall
Fields, who also will occupy the Dav
ison mansion at 690 Park avenue.
Marshall Field, third, returned to
Chicago recently from a two months'
trip to Europe, and he had, as he ex
pressed it, a marvelous piece of luck while he was there. His two colts. Gol
den Corn and Cistercian, ran well at Doncaster. Golden Corn won three stake
races and Cistercian two.
“It was purely a pleasure trip,” said Mr. Field. “I can’t tell you a thing
about business conditions. But those horses of mine—say, you ought to have
seen fhem run.”
