      Mr. Field gave the Field library to Peekskill, N.Y. It contains a fine collection of books given by Mr. Field, but the building is very homely to the eye. It was a private riding rink, which Mr. Field built for his own use to ride horseback in, and it looks just like a large hippodrome. Later he gave up horseback riding and turned it into a library. The building answers the purpose, but it is not a thing of beauty. He will probably erect one more artistic before long.
      The "Field Home," which Mr. C. de P. Field has erected for aged and respectable invalids of Yorktown, Westchester county, first preference being given to members of the Field family, is a memorial to his mother, Mrs. Benjamin H. Field. It has not yet been opened as a home, but it contains a chapel within it that is used every Sunday for service for people in that vicinity, and Mr. C. de P. Field has charge of the service, as it is his own chapel, which is much appreciated by the people who attend service there. "Field Home" is about four miles out of Peekskill, on very high ground, and the scenery is beautiful for inland.
