BELMONT, August:
Banker; second son of the famous bank- er and financier; was born New York City, Feb. 18, 1853, and has shown the posses- sion of qualities which promise to make him a worthy successor to his distin- guished father in the business to which the latter has given a world-wide repu- tation; his preliminary education was ob- tained at the Rectory School, Hamden, Connecticut, followed by periods of study at Haverford College, Pennsylvania, and Phillips Exeter Academy, after which he entered Harvard University, where he graduated in 1875; shortly afterwards he entered his father's banking house, to begin there his business career, and quick- ly showed a power of application and a
.
natural aptitude to financial business which gave him rapidly a grasp of affairs unusual in one of his age, and fitted him to assume the responsibilities of the great business which his father had success- fully founded; Mr. Belmont had in him too much of the old stock to fritter away his time in frivolous pursuits, preferring to make himself active in business affairs and useful in the world to any life of mere pleasure; the death of his father and the devotion of his brothers to legislative pursuits, in time threw the whole care of the great business mainly within his hands and he has proved himself fully capable of handling it; his father's force of char- acter, directness of purpose, and business tact and judgment have descended to him, and the world of finance recognizes him as a power no less declared than that of the able founder of the house; to-day Mr. Belmont, still a young man, is at the head of the great banking establishment of August Belmont & Co., which under his directing care promises to retain the commanding position which it has at- tained in American finance, and to grow into still greater influence in the metro- politan centre of the New World trade; in addition to its American interests, this house possesses vast foreign interests, as the accredited representative of the Rothschilds in America, its European con- nections extending to every important field of finance in that continent; Mr. Belmont has shown himself fully capable of man- aging the great interests confided to him, and a self reliance and keen judgment that have made him a worthy successor of his father in the conception and hand- ling of important enterprises; in addition to his immediate connection with the banking business, he had assumed other business interests, one of the most im- portant of which being the presidency of Interborough Rapid Transit Company, chairman of the board of directors of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, a di- rector of Chicago, Mulwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad, vice-president of the Kings County Elevated Railroad, and a director of the Bank of the State of New York, the National Park Bank, the Equit- able Life Insurance Company, the Man- hattan Trust Company, and various other corporations; politically he is strongly Democratic in his views, but has shown none of the tendencies towards a political life manifested by his distinguished brothers, his extended business interests fully occupying his attention, and prov- ing more congenial to his turn of mind; his hours of relaxation, on the contrary, are given to quieter pursuits, he being particularly interested in horses and dogs, being a member of the American Kennel Club, which his earnest efforts as presi- dent have given a commanding position among organizations of this kind, while in
the development of thoroughbred horses he has been equally active, and in fact the present prosperity of racing, of turf interest in this State, is largely due to his individual efforts; in addition

he is a member of numerous clubs, in- cluding the Union, Knickerbocker, Man- hattan, Country, New York Athletic (of which he has been president), and vari- ous others, particularly the various yacht clubs; he is flag-officer of the Corinthian Yacht Club; Mr. Belmont was married in 1881 to Miss Bessie H. Morgan, now de- ceased, and has a family of three sons, August, Raymond, and Morgan. Resi- dence, Hempstead, L. I .; office, 23 Nassau St., New York.
