Mr. Rupperts country place at Rhinebeck is exceedingly com-plete and well fitted out. He has two chief enthusiasms here —his horses and his chickens. There are hundreds of chickens ofall breeds, very many of the finest fowl. These he keeps andraises for pleasure, though he makes the pursuit pay. Mr. Rup-pert bought, about ten years ago, the Hudson River DrivingPark property in Poughkeepsie. This he now uses as a stock-farm, and raises trotting horses.
