Merchant; born Exeter, N. H., March 2, 1832. He received a good education, of an elementary character, in the schools of his native town, but was withdrawn from school when fifteen years of age to begin his business life. He came to N. Y. City at this age in search of employment, which he found in a dry goods jobbing establishment. At twenty-one years of age he joined as a partner the house of S. B. Chittenden & Co., a prominent house of that period. For several years he served this firm as European buyer. Later he became member and senior partner of the dry goods commission firm of Smith, Hogg & Gardiner, whose busi- ness grew to be very extensive, and which for years occupied a prominent position in the dry goods business interests of N. Y. and Boston. He remained con- nected with it as an active member until 1887, when he withdrew. For seven years he held the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce. Politically has avoided office-holding, declining offers of nomination to the mayoralty and other posts, yet he has been warmly interested in public affairs. His attention has been particularly directed to the great problem of municipal transit and to the. relation of . the railroads to New York commercial needs. On this subject he has written papers and delivered addresses. His re- tirement from business in 1887 was in no sense a withdrawal from activity, but rather that he might devote more of his attention to the philanthropic, public and otner movements in which his interest was enlisted, and to which he has con- tinued to give much of his time, taking a leading part in the affairs of many prominent financial institutions, includ- ing the U. S. Trust Co., the Fifth Avenue, Merchants and Fourth National Banks. Trustee of the Metropolitan Muesum of Art. Clubs of which he is a member include Union League, Grolier, Lawyers, Players, Merchants and Metropolitan. The Uni- versity of the City of New York has conferred upon him the honorary degree of LL.
