The luxury and magni6cence with which
a capitalist Is able to surround himself at
home NAV be at least initiated in one OF
these diminutive Fifth avenue houses on
wheels. Mr.. Pullman, the car-builder, has
such car for himself, only that 1t differs
from Mr.. Jewett's and Mr.. Wizards in two
particulars. 1t has windows that reach
within foot of the floor, through which, IL
Is said, clumsy engineer might hurl an oc-
cssional passenger on = curve; and 1t has
cabinet organ, on which, on one occasion, a
railroad msgnate, who wanted a car for him
self and was testing this one a musical BOBBY
played 80 necessarily that he decided he
would rather walk over his railroad than
ride in car with an organ
The directors car on the New York, Lake
Erie and Western railroad is less handsome,
but is comfortable. 1t has round end,
with bent windows, kitchen, bedroom,
parlor, observatIon-room, and upholstered
furniture. Its windows are large, and the
apartments are few enough to be roomy.
Superintendent Bowen's car is palmer yet.
1t is an ordinary coach somewhat altered.
1t has an ordinary range in Its kitchen and
an ordinary heating stove for cold weather.
The sitting-room, upholstered with red
plush, is in the middle, and the office and
observation room, fitted with desks and
chairs, is at one end.
Jay Gould's car, the CONVOY, bearing the
name OF the Missouri Pacific railroad along
its upper panels, and ornsmented with few
lines and simple patterns in gold on choc-
olate body, is the least pretentious presidents
car that runs out of New York. 1t is an
old Pullman altered over, and il has the
original small windows. 1t was once Com
modore Garrison's car. 1t has the old1style
big rear platform, and contains a kitchen,
stewards and cooks rooms, dining room,
state-room and observation room. 1t has no
bathroom. The apartments are small, but
exceedingly convenient. They are finished
in dark wood, the furniture is upholstered
and mirrors set in the walls here and
there
President C. c. Baldwin, of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad, has a very hand
some car, whose stopping place is the Penn
sylvania railroed depot, in which it is said
there are as many as dozen special cars at
time whenever anything extraordinary is
going on in or near New York. Mr.. Bald
wins car is not unlike Mr.. Jewetts, but its
joiner work is carved mahogony, the ceilings
are palmer, it has no bathroom, and the
beveled glass and polished brass of the other
cars are lacking. Instead of combining the
saloon and dining-room, and gaining size
and comfort without betraying the double
functions of the furniture, as is done in Mr..
Jewetts aud Mr.. Wizards cars, Mr.. Bald
wins coach has a dining-room with eight
seats and tables between. These can be con-
yerted into many beds at a moments
notice. Mr.. Baldwin contemplates chang
ing this. There are four or five exceedingly |
handsome private cars on this end OF the |
Pennsylvania road-Mr. Roberts's, Mr.. Cas-
salts, Mr.. Pugh's and Mr.. Frank Thomson's. |
Their exterisrs are the same as the new
standard passenger coaches, and they are |
distinguished only by their numbers-6O, |
l20, $50, 100. They are commodious and |
comfortable, and, like those of Mr.. Jewett |
and Mr.. Willard, are filed tn electric call |
bells, by which every room is in communi- |
cation with the pantry.
