Georgo Gould'* Hunting Lodge In th© I'uMklll Mountain*. George Gould’s mountain luxury, Furlough Lodge, cost 810,000,000 and an upward of 81, « 000,000 a year Is necessary to maintain it. The lodgti, which is located in the Gatsklll mountalds, stands on a 1,000-aqrc tract of very expensive land. Tho tract Is surrounded with a barbed wire fence ten foot high. Within this inclosure Is tho finest pigeon warren in the world, and the richest pheasantry. There is an immense deer park, a small herd of buffalo and foxes that run wild all tho year around, inviting visitors to shoot them. To take care of this great supply of game there are ten men employed all the year around. And these are under the direction of a head gamekeeper, who is personally responsible

for a supply of things to be shot when Mr. Gould and his friends come up for a holiday. The Winter supply of horses is always seventeen,and the summer supply twice that number. Tho Russian dogs, with Czarain, the famous foxhound, at the head of the kennel, and the kennels of all other rare, hardy winter dogs, have their special keepers; and, all told, the place Is kept on as large a scale and as luxuriantly as any royal estate. No one else on earth spends as much on a shooting box.
