His Physicians Bulletins Are Still More
Encouraging-Mr. Vanderblits Physi-
cians-Two of Them Yale Men,
New York, July 19,-Gornelius Van
derbilt ST., continue to Improve His
physicians bulletins continue very en-
couraging, and Mr. Vanderbilt moved
his right leg and right arm Satur-
day morning for the first time since he
had the paralytic stroke on that side
of his body. He felt hungry, he said,
and asked for something solid instead
of the soups and light things that he
has been fed with.
The members of the family were in
and out of his room and he talked with
all of the children that are here. Very
little, of course but pleasantly.
DR.. McLane said Mr.. Vanderbilt is
so much improved that we have moved
him from the room on the second floor
to the F'ifty-seventh street side of the
house to one on the third floor of the
Fifty-eighth street side. That side of
the house Is cooler and more quiet, and
has a wide air space in front of it,
Miss Vanderbilt, Cornelius. Alfred, and
Reginald saw their father Saturday,
and he was so much better that Alfred
and Reginald will probably go back to
Newport"
In reply to questions, DR.. McLane
said that Mr.. Vanderbilt was ION the
high road to recovery" "Dr. Draper
and Dr. Janeway went out of town
Saturday.
| Mr. Vanderbilt was moved from one
room to the other on stretcher On
Saturday the tanbark on the West
Fifty-seventh street side was shoveled
up and carted to Fifth avenue, between
| Fifty eighth and Fifty-ninth street. 1t
was not laid on Fifty-eighth street in
front of the sick room. Tanbark is a
scarce material All that is available
| for this city seems to be at the Newark
| tanneries and the supply has almost
been exhausted. Tanbark deadens
sounds better than straw or sawdust,
and does not shift nor work up, so that
bare places are left on the sidewalk.
Cablegrams were sent to Chauncey
M. Depew and to DR.. Greer that read
| Better. Don't sail" Mr. Depew had,
however, already sailed on the Lu-
| cania.
