Peerless Trsgedienne.
Madame Janauschek's Regal apo"e'

availed themselves of his profiered KIND
ness and paid visit TO that gentleman In
his luxurious quarters in Madame Janaus-
chek's .palatial car yesterday AFTERNOON
Having been honored with the sight oil
that wonderful, rolling palace the reporter
feels it incumbent upon him to give TO the
HERALD readers some idea OF that mag
nifcent marvel. Rejecting upon the
multitudinous wonders that presented
themselves at every moment OF his stay IN
that palatial abode, he is seized with MS
givings as to his utter inability to convey
by description an adequate idea OF It's
wealth of luxury and grandeur. Not at
tempting a full description OF anything SO
magnificent he will briefly narrate the cir
cumstances of his visit to the palatial car
"Janauschek."
Arriving at the depot in luxurious
landau placed at the disposal OF the
HERALD through the courtesy of Mr.. Sar-
gent, our party beheld the "Janauschek"
drawn up on side track near the platform,
with the handsomest exterior OF any car
we ever saw. Painted beautiful blue
and trimmed in old gold, the sides OF the
car presented a handsome specimen OF the
highest style of decorative art. A glance
at the whole contour of the car, which took
in the magnificent painting and the large
plate glass windows, was all that was
allowed before we were ushered into the
car by the genial advance agent, Mr.. J. ii.
I.aine. who stood with a smiling counte-
nance upon the platform of the car ready
| to receive us Entering the car through
decorated corridors, at which we were
/ allowed only a hasty glance in passing we
were ushered into the grand salon, where
/ some ladies and escorts were already being
/ entertained After being introduced to
Mr.. F.. Clements, who afterwards acted as
master of ceremonies in our tour OF inspec-
ton, we were invited to be seated. Mr..
Sargent shortly afterwards entered and
welcomed us to the rolling palace in
manner truly hospitable. Mr.. Sargent was
the first theatrical manager TO introduce
the use of special palace ears for actresses,
and he did the honors of the "Janauschek"

After we were seated we were at liberty
to scrutinize and admire the magnifcence
of our surroundings The grand salon,
in which our party were now gathered, Is
the largest apartment in the car, being
situated about the middle of the coach
and furnished magnificently. The walls
and ceilings, divided into panels, are COW
cred with embossed leather, hand-painted
in varied hues, and forming a decoration
in itself of unparalleled richness. The
upholstering of the sdioa is equally rich.
The sideboard and extension table, as well
as all the woodwork of the room, IL OF
handsome polished black walnut, while
mirrors of French plate glass reflect on
every hand the wealth of luxuIiance IN
appointment of the salon. Curtains and
po,tieres of Oriental tapestry combining
beauty and utility, respectively adorn the
windows and hang in the doorways at
each end of the apartment; while a
Turkish carpet of the richest pattern COW
ers the floor.
Having been seated few moments, the
porter, clad in the livery of Janauschek,
at the command of the hospitable Mr..
Sargent, opened some bottles of "Mumm' $
Extra Dry snd the health Of Madame
Janauschek was pledged in the sparkling
liquid. After this we were shown through
, the car by Mr.. Clements, who acted as our
conductor and heightened the interest we
felt in inspecting the marvels Of work
manship it contained by his graphic de-
: scrip.ion of each part.
The servants end of the car was first in
, spected, which contained model kitchen

who travels with the car. MADAME Jan

cook. both models of conyeniece and com
fort. and the heating and ventilating ap

into the car from the bottom, while ex

healthful and comfortable condition.
