Three Vanderbilt parties are travail
ing IN this country in state. Two have
special trains, while one has a private
car. DR.. and Mrs. Seward Webb are
on their waye to California in the fin
est train in America. William 4
vanderbilt is the host on another train
pound for Florida, which is hardly less
sumptuous in its equipment. Mr. and
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr.. are also
going to California, but they have only
private car, such as any one with
money to spare can charter. OF course
no one can know what the cost To Dr
Webb and w. X. Vanderbilt will he
for their trains. The great cost, that
OF transportation, doesn't fall upon
them. 1t is a courtesy which one rail-
road extends to the high officials of
another. 1t is common enough for in
dlVlduals to charter a private car for
a trip through the country. like that
which Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr. is
making. 1t is very expensive but
luxurious method of travelling. From
SIX TO eight people can travel in the
largest private cars comfortably. The
flrst charge for these cars is $50 a day
FOR the first thirty days and $45 dav
thereafter. For moving a private car
the railroads east of the Mississippi de-
mand eighteen full fares for the dis
lance which they haul it. For in
stance II the fare between here and
chicago is $40, it costs $3.50 to move
the car that far, If there are six peo-
pie aboard the rate would therefore be
$50 for each, and to this must be added
the daily rental of the car. The cost
OF a trip to California and back for six
people in private car is about s.. 900,
