In these days Cornelius Vanderbilt, called the "Com- modore, " was an every-day habitue of the Club, an inveter- ate whist-player, and a man of most striking appearance.
The Law, at "No. 96, " was then represented by Judges Ingraham, Hilton, Barnard, Russell, Clerke, Daly, Curtis, Comstock, Garvin the "learned and eloquent, " O'G...orman "the brilliant and impulsive, " and "keen and thoughtful" John E. Burrill; the actors, by Lester Wallack, Joseph Jef- ferson, and Dion Boucicault.
General Slocum represented the military; August Bel- mont, very English in appearance, wearing London tweeds, English whiskers, one button of his coat fastened over his shirt front, S. L. M.
