"Mr. Sands' family is historically known in England as active in promoting the colonization of Virginia, Massachusetts, and Bermuda, as also in this country for their interest in the cause of the American Revolution. The three American great-grandfathers of Louis Joseph Sands, Comfort Sands, Nicholas Cruger, and Dr. Samuel Bard, were among the foremost citizens of New York, and were honorably connected with the history of their time. Joseph Sands, son of Comfort,

*The family of Sandys or Sandes was anciently seated at St. Bees, in Cumberland. In 1377, Richard del Sandys and Sir Robert Moubray, were returned knights of that shire. And subsequently other members of the house of Sandys enjoyed the same honor. Edwin Sandys, Archbishop of York, died in 1558, and left descendants. -Burke's "History of the Commoners.'

by his marriage in Paris, in 1800, to Mlle. Kämpfel of Lisle, of a burgher family of Flanders, was the father of Ferdinand Sands, the father of the subject of this sketch.-Louis Joseph Sands went first to Dr. Harris' school at White Plains, and then to Dr. Bartlett's at Poughkeepsie, but delicate health prevented his carrying out a very severe course of study. About 1856, Com. Joshua R. Sands, U. S. N., was placed in command of the U. S. frigate, Susquehannah, and chose Louis as his Secretary. The ship was sent first to cruise in the Mediterranean, but from there, in 1857, was ordered to England, to take part in laying the first Atlantic cable from Ireland to the United States. Later, orders were received for her to proceed to Nicaragua, South America, and arrest Walker and his outlaws, who were entrenched on the San Juan river. This they successfully accomplished. In 1858-59, Com. Sands had command of a squadron on the eastern coast of South America, and Louis continued with him as secretary, but in 1860–61, on the outbreak of the Civil War, he was ordered to the war ship Seminole as temporary paymaster, in the place of the regular paymaster, who, being a southerner, had resigned and gone south to join the Confederate Army. For a year the Seminole was on the Atlantic blockade; then Mr. Sands asked for and received an appointment as Captain in a New Jersey volunteer regiment of cavalry. He was not permitted, however, to leave the naval service, and so he remained on the Seminole, which became a part of the fleet of Adm. Dupont, and was engaged in the capture of Hilton Head, S. C. In 1863-64, he was placed on the staff of Com. William Macomb, on the flagship Shamrock, which operated in Albemarle Sound, and with the fleet of gunboats, after a severe fight, captured the town of Plymouth, N. C. While in temporary command of a small gunboat, Mr. Sands struck a torpedo in the Roanoke river, which destroyed the vessel and killed several of the crew, those surviving saving themselves by swimming until boats arrived and picked them up. At the close of the war, he left the service and went to Germany for health and recreation. At Munich he studied art, for which he had a great love, and although never making it a profession, he has since painted many good pictures. One of these, an 'Annunciation,' he presented as an altar-piece to a village in Franconia; some of his best pictures he has given to friends in New York and elsewhere. Mr. Sands is a member of the military order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, and of the Society of the Sons of the Revolution."* Arthur Sands,† A.M.

† Author of "Annals of de Normandie," a most successful and meritorious work, published in 1901. The family of De la Feld descends from the ancient Counts of La Feld, in Alsace, who long resided at the chateau that still bears their name, situated in a pass of the Vosges mountains, three days' journey from Colmar. Pope Leo IX, a native of Alsace, is said to have settled at this princely castle when he visited Strasburgh. There were, previous to 1533, stately monuments to two of the Counts of La Feld in the cathedral church of Strasburgh, to which this family had been considerable benefactors at the time of its rebuilding, under the venerable Bishop Werenhaire. A perpetual chantry was also founded in the same cathedral by these Counts, with a pension of two marks per annum for a priest to celebrate daily service therein, for the repose of their souls and those of their ancestors. This family have, however, for many years been settled in England and in Ireland, being possessed of considerable estates in both countries. It is probable that Hubertus De la Feld was the first of his race that emigrated to England, and that he came over with the Conqueror, his name appearing enrolled as the owner of lands in the county of Lancaster, in the third of William I. John Delafield, oldest son of John Delafield, Esq., and Martha, daughter of John Dele, Esq., of Aylesbury, Bucks, England, and a Count of the Holy Roman Empire, as inherited from his great-great-grandfather, settled at New York, and was the founder of the American branch of the family.-See Burke's "History of the Commoners."

"The most notable event in the financial world of this week was the election last Tuesday, of Mr. Richard Delafield to the presidency of the National Park Bank"

"He was educated in the Anthon Grammar School of this city, and at the age of twenty entered a New York mercantile house as a clerk, eventually becoming manager, and in 1880, commencing business in the California trade. He has been for many years recognized as one of the leading and most prosperous merchants of the city, being senior partner of the firm of Delafield, Mc. Govern & Co., of No. 95 Hudson street, with branch houses in St Louis and San Francisco. He is also a former president of the Mercantile Exchange. He is vice-president of the Colonial Trust Company, and a director in the Plaza and Mount Morris banks, the National Surety Company and the Frankfort-American and Thuringea-American Fire Insurance companies. He has been a director of the Park Bank since 1890, and was made a vice-president in 1896."

"For one so engrossed in business, President Delafield is a man of singularly varied interests, for he has found time to serve as president of the Staten Island Philharmonic Society and as secretary of the New York Symphony Society. He is a great lover of music, and for years has been active in musical circles. He is also a vestryman of Trinity Church and president of the Seaside Home of Long Island, besides being one of the managers of the Varick Street Hospital. In addition, Mr. Delafield is a member of the Society of the Sons of the Revolution, the Union League, Merchants, Tuxedo and New York Athletic clubs. He resides at No. 40.
