professions which the blue blooded

lay in the fact that it's officers have
been chosen too closely from among the

Five More New and Modernly Built Cars
Added to the Rolling Stock.
The Grand Trunk haye added another lot
of five handsomely built firstclass coaches
to their already up.t0 date equipment. AL
ready during the past year some fifty of
these modern cars have been built and
placed in service. taking the place of some
of the older coaches, and these new cars
have been greatly admired by all who see
them. Everything that science, experience
and skilled labor can do has been brought
into requisiton to make these new creations
perfect in every detail, and great credit is
reflected on the Grand Trunk shops at
Point st. Charles, where the present lOtof
detail, artistic workmanship, appointments
and finish, they surpass anything of their
kind yet built in America, and, In fact, 1t
would be hard to equal them in the world.
The new cars form part of what is known
as the 500 series, and are of the wide vesti-
bule order, 6s feet long, with four-wheeled
trucks, making the riding OF the cars easy,
and with the least possible jolting effect
The cars are equipped with Westinghouse
quick action triple brakes, and air signals,
A special feature of the cars Is the peculiar
construction OF the platform, which is built
of steel, and an adjustable covering is
arranged over the steps, making the whole
platform vestibule. BY this means dust
is excluded, and perfect safety to passengers
on the platform is assured. The vestibule
also lighted with powerful light, which is
though unusual is most convenient APP
pointment.
The total weight of these coaches is 72.-
100 pounds each, and they have each a
seating capacity for 72 passengers. There
are 20 windows on each side of the cars.
finished on the outside and Inside in Gothic
architecture in oak and mahogany combina-
ton. The interiors are finished in quarter
ed oak, and are extremely handsome. The
seats are Grand Trunk standard reversible
pattern, upholstered in crimson plush.
The other trimmings are of exquisite
designs In bronze. A large and comfortable
smoking room with seating capacity for
eight passengers Is provided where the
lovers Of the fragrant weed can enjoy their
smoke with luxurious ease and comfort.
The saloons are fitted with the latest devices
to make them as near perfection az possible.
The aisles of the cars are carpeted with
Brussels, and linoleum covers the floor IN
the smoking department. The closets are
self flushing and seperate lavatories are pro-
vded for the ladies. The cars are heated
by steam, and the ventilating arrangements
| are ample and satisfactory. The tout en-
semble of these handsome coaches is one Of
elegance and everything about them wears
an air of ease and comfort.
