Text Appearing After Image:
;120) AMERICAN ESTATES AND GARDENS indefinitely off into a region filled with beautiful spots, and with suggestions of other l)eauties,unseen, yet suggested. This is the su)3renie attraction of Biltmore—the wonderful scenery—for the house hasa site that at once commands the loveliest views, and gives it, as a dwelling, the best possiblesituation and the greatest advantage. The circumstances that led to the foundation of this great estate are well known. Mr.Vanderbilt was attracted to it by its wonderful scenery and fine climate. The accumulationof land proceeded at a rapid rate, until now the estate comprises an area of one hundred andforty-seven thousand acres. Statistics are uninteresting and perhaps of little value, and yetunless the size of this great property is realized its ver)- untxsual character will not becom))re-hended. To say, therefore, that the park contains thirty-eight miles of macadamized drives,seventy of wagon road, and two hundred and sixty-five miles of trails
