number the men. There are 65,947

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.”
