pots a day, the latter to be used in the rs
acre plot set aside for green houses and

A $50, 1000 railroad was built between
Biltmore station and the castle for the
transfer of materials. and this line will
be torn up when the work is done.
There Is deer park of 1000 acres, and
extensive trout ponds. The greatest
curiosity of the estate, however, is the
fact that right in the center of it stands
the shanty of colored man who refused
to sell his nine acres to the millionaire.
The entire enterprise. it is estimated,
will cost Mr.. Vanderbilt about S5,0U0,00U.

The commissioner said that the men
would be mounted upon stout afeties,
capable of good speed.
Commissioner Andrews hopes, if the
