seats OF the car are to be removable
and a dancing floor is TO be carried as a
part of the equipment of the car, in this
way making it possible to convert the
car into a ball room at any time.
General Passenger Agent Black does
not take al all kindly to the idea He
confidently expects the scheme to be a
failure. and IN defense OF his eXpecta-
ton gives the following reasons.
IF inaugurated 1t can't help but die

The majority of people take the train

cur new ones.
"As a rule the travelling public are
theater patrons and therefore the ma
jority Of them are surfeited with Ordi-
nary attra ctiOns. Hence it would re-
quire solicitation, and in short the in
teIligent traveller would shun the line
that forced such unweIcOme features
upon him. We have the train butcher
now.
The idea Of creating q ball room of
the car seems ridiculous. as instead of
the graceful movements We are wont to
have in a ball room the scene on fast
trains would resent Bile a, Rugby foot
ball game or a catch as catch can
wrestling match. all holds barred
These are Mr.. Blacks principal rea-
sons In addition he goes on to say:
American railways are already furn-
fShing all the COnTenienCeS and aUIrac-
tons the rate per mile VIII allow. Rail
roads that handle considerable paSSen-
ger traffic are already trying to solve
the problem OF how to lessen the weight
Of their through trains. and as such
car would increase weight without ad-
ding conveniences it is not likely to be
adopted by the intelligent and progress
sfve management of western lines
cannot see that it is even a good idea
for lines with light travel. as the adj
mission charge would be an added tax
for which proper returns would not be
given The limited space for perform
ers precludes possibility of furnishing
sufficiently attractive features and the
roar of the train would make It impOS-
sible to hear distinctly"
