...Mayor Alsop. Buttoning his overcoat against the breeze the President got into an automobile with Florida's plump Governor Sholtz and drove five miles to the docks on the St. Johns River. There lay Vincent Astor's white and orange Nourmahal. At the foot of the gangplank Owner Astor met him, grasped his hand and exclaimed: "It's a great thing to have you aboard again, Mr. President...
Because of that feeling, the owner of the Nourmahal is always glad and proud when Franklin Roosevelt comes aboard. It was so last September when for a few brief days the President found time to cruise from Hyde Park to Washington. It was so the February before when the Nourmahal carried Franklin Roosevelt through the fish-filled waters of the Gulf Stream to give him rest before taking up his duties in Washington.

Dorothy Wyndham Paget, owner of Golden Miller, last year spent $200,000 for brood mares at the Newmarket sale. Two years before she had bought Golden Miller, who had brought only $500 as a yearling and had been resold four times since, for about $30,000. That her racing colors contain the same shade of blue...
...Lizzie's brother, Cornelius Newton Bliss (Metropolitan Museum of Art trustee and Metropolitan Opera director). Last week the Museum announced that its endowment fund had reached $600.000, that Brother Cornelius had accepted this as earnest of another $150,000 to be forthcoming. Thus did the Museum become permanent owner of the Bliss collection. Large single donor ($100,000) was the Carnegie Corporation. At Depression prices, the Bliss collection is worth about $750.000. It contains eclectic examples of all the modern French, a few of the modern U. S. painters. Only the Barnes collection in Philadelphia has more than...
