PRINCE OF AMERICAN BONIFACES His Remarkable Life and His Strik- ing Characteristics. POPULAR AND ESTEEMED ‘The news from Saratoga Springs that Mr. John F. Chamberlin is lying danger- ously ill at the Grand Union Hotel and that his recovery is regarded as improbable will be the cause of profound regret in Wash- ington and all the world over wherever the famous boniface is known and esteemed. Probably there is no man in America who enjoys a wider acquaintance of an intimate character with men distinguished in public life in all its channels, and certainly none is more generally and genuinely. liked. And when his er is taken into consideration and viewed in all its varied characteristics he may be properly regarded as one of the most remarkable men in the country. Mr. Chamberlin is the last survivor of a coterie of sporting men who, despite their calling, secured and retained the respect and confidence of the best and brightest of statesmen, solders and scholars. ‘The pro- prietor in his ume of great gambling house: Was never tainted with the impurities of that profession in the estimation of his ac- quaintances. The owner of great horses and important stables, he was never of the horse horsey; the proprietor of hotels, he was looked upon more as the gentleman entertainmg his friends than a public host providing for the needs of a transient pul lic. He was the prince of good fellows a tre acknowledged autocrat of good living. Chamberlin as a Bon Vivant. He seemed to have an intuitive compre- hension of the exact sympathies existing between appetites and that which satistied without surfeiting, and he handled them with a delicate nicety that made his din- ners regal dreams and his every banguet a ben:son. It was at his own dinners, Benerous frequency to his frie given with ds, that he showed his mastery in che art of enter- tainment.

At those dinners of Chamierlin’s were to be found the best and prightest in statecrafi, the arts, the stage, jour! ism and the country’s service. ‘A list of those who have sat around his poard would comprise names known in every houschold, and if the roll was called each would an- swer with a hearty tribute to eheir good oid friend.

He made a fortune in St. Louis, and, coming back to New York, opened, in con- Junction with Price McGrath, a club house which immediately became the center of the higher set of sporting life in the me- tropolis. Faro was played here with a limit only measured by the desires of the players; everything that money couid buy was at the command of visitors, and the richer and richer de- spite their prodigal expenditure. From being the most poputar man in St. Louis John Chamberlin became the most populer man in New York. and his gener- osity was soon a proverb in Gotham. Soon a desire for owning race horses, which he had always loved, and he bought a stable and soon afterward built the Monmouth Park race track. Neither venture prov ortunace. His great horse, True Blue, was sent to Cali- fornia to beat the cracks i defeated through a combina edness and faithlessness to Chamberlin’s interests on the part of those he trusted. He had meantime established the club house at Lorg Branch, which has been operated for many years past by Phil Daly. His losses in his turf ‘ransactions demanded a closing out of the New York Bes up establishment, and Mr. Chamberlin came to Washington, where he opened a club house. His Experience in Washington. This was in the establishment built and for a long time occupied by the Washing- ton Club, being the bu'lding afterward pur- chased by the Young Men’s Christian As- sociation and recently gutted by fire. He moved thence to the mansioa at the cor- ner of 17th and I streets, once occupied by General Myer, and afterward to the corner of 15th and I streets, where “Chamber- lin’s” now stands. Several years ago Mr. Chamberlin se- cured authority from Congress to build a hotel on the government reservation at Old Pcint Comfort, Va., and after many vexa- tious delays and the surmounting of count- less obstacles the Hotel Chamberlin was opened with a demonstration in keeping with the generous character of its prop! tor. The guests invited to this affair num- bered upward of a thousand, comprising many of the leading people of che entire country, and they were sumptuously en- tertained. The ceaseless activity ex ed by Mr. Chamberlin during the days pre- ceding the opening, and his sicepless atten- tion to his guests, 1s believed by hus friends te have greatly aggravated the kidney troubles from which he has be2n a suff for several years, and it time ago that he was in a very danger cendition. Mr. Chamberlin married beautiful actress Emily Thorn when sie was at the height of her artistic triumphs, and their domestic life has been an ideal one. Two lovely daughters are the fenit of their union, one of whom, Miss Olive, with her mother, is now at the bedside of Mr. Cham- berlin. es North Carolina Republicans, A meeting of the republicans of North Carolina was held at 2118 8th street north- west last night and a McKinley, Hobart and Russell association was organized. The following officers were elected: P. A. Goims, president; H. G. Gussom, vice pres- ident; J. A. White, recordirg secretary; KE. W. Turner, corresponding secretary; Rev. George W.

The notifications received so far from parties Intending to make exhibits at the approaching fair of the Montgomery Coun- ty Agricultural Society indicate a larger display and a greater variety in the classes open to competition than ever before in the history of the organization.

There was a daring attempt at highway robbery last evening shortly before mid- night, at the foot of the steps leading from Potomac street to the bridge across the canal. The victims were the mate and colored help of the schooner Mary Vande- ver of Norfolk, Va., now lying at Cropl Boteler & Crampton’s wharf with a load of guano. The mate and help had been in town, and had lost their way to the boat. They went down 33d street through “Frog Island,” a dangerous part of “Boston.” There was only a five-cent piece between the two, and this they gave to a colored woman.

They were direcied the way to the boat, and passing through Caton’s alley, started down the steps to cross the bridge when three negroes came running up to them and demanded money. After some dif- ficulty the two broke away and ran, the negroes pursuing them 40 the boat, throw- ing bricks at them. The men returned up town and met Policemen Harrison and Brown, to whom they told their story and enterprises and entertainments to the im- provement and beautification of the Rock- ville cemetery, Under this management the proper satisfaction of the public de- mands for creature comforts is abundaat- ly assure The races are all filling up rapidly and excellent fields of closely matched horses will compete in each.
