Now York Truth, Mr. Gebhardt is the son and heir of a wealthy New York gentleman, who, when he died, left him provided with an annual income of SBO,OOO. His sister, Mrs. Frederick Neilson, of Fifth Avenue, New York city, was equally well provided upon her father’s decease. Mr. Gebhardt

until recently made his residence at the Hotel Brunswick, In his native city, but he now lives with his sister. He is about twenty-three years of age, favored by nature with a handsome face and figure, and is a young man who has conducted himself in the discreet, quiet and temperate manner, preventing any uneasiness on his account to his nearest friends, his chief amusements are of a social character, and he is a favorite visitor of many of the best homes in New York. He takes great pleasure in the opera and dramatic representations, is fond of horses and fast driving and owns a stable of racers, of which one is said to have made him in winnings more than Sfeventeen thousand dollars during last season. His first connection with the turf was in partnership with Mr, Arthur Hunter, the famous gentleman nder, as a proprietor of the Pelham stable. He bought out Mr. Hunter’s interest, and is now the fortunate owner of Eole, the colt which placed him sixth in the list of winners on the American turf last Beason. Last spring a matrimonial engagement between him and a daughter of Mr. Leonard W. Jerome was broken off, a fact which would not have been made public but for that curiosity in Mr. Gebhardt’s history which succeeded the mention of his name in connection with that of Mrs. Langtry.
