Like attentions were bestowed upon other famous people, notably Martin Van Buren, who was then President. Cornelius Van Vorst was a descendant of the old Pa- troons. His father, " Faddy" Van Vorst, was quite a noted figure in the society of colonial days, partly owing to his ownership of a private race-course at Harsimus, then the delight of the sporting gentlemen of old New York. It must have been from " Faddy, " of whom it is re- corded that he was a lover of fine horses and fine clothes, tha...t Cornelius Van Vorst obtained his taste for lavish display, unusual at a time when everywhere in the Northern States the manner of living was comparatively simple. The interior of his mansion, with its immense square rooms, engaged the attention of the first artisans of the country. The wide entrance hall was tiled with marble, the walls were hung with damask papers from France, the window glasses and chandeliers imported from Venice, and the doors embellished with solid silver trimmings, all of which reminders of past elegance still remain in the house.
