its box. There is an impression that the
vehicle is at least a century old, but eX-
perts in coach architecture declare /. to be
of the vintage of about 1920, and there is
warrant in tradition for the statement tina.
1t was put in commission as "A regular stage
coach about eighty years ago. Mr.. Morgan
ran across il in Maine some years since.
1t was still in use, or had been only a
short time before, but to see it was to
coyet 1t with him, and after that it was a

that he found the old coach.

not agree with this, but for all that Mr.,
Morgan loves the horse for his own sake
as do few professional hOrsemen and still
fewer millionaires. Besides, Mr.. Morgan
knows the horse and his points thoroughly.
He has a rule not to go into "A business
enterprise of any sort without thorough in
vestigation and he carries the rule out in
selecting his horses, never taking any ones
judgment but his own when buying. This
was true of old Commodore Vanderbilt, but
it has not been true of his several sons-in-
law or of any of his descendants save
Frederick W.. Like the latter, Mr.. Morgan
is averse to publicity and never makes a
town display of his prowess as a driver,
though he tools a four-in- hand with much
skill.
1t was L. ID. Morgan, by the way, who
made the famous "four-in-hand trip around
the world" a few years ago. lie did not

Mr.. Morgan has driven his own %fOuT-in-
hand in Ceylon, the suburbs of Calcutta
over the roads near Hong Kong, Toxic and
Honolulu and many other strange places.
No other man living or dead has pulled
the ribbons over the backs of his own
horses in as many out-Of-the-way regions
as he. Mr.. Morgan keeps his own horses
(there are forty or fifty of them) at his fine
500-acre place in the Wheatley hills, on
Long Island. 1t was the second of the

better than his father, William H.. A man
who has known four generations of Van
derbilts says that William II. was little of
a horseman in reality. He rode as a young
man-the romance which eliminated in his
mar iage with pretty Miss Nissan began
in a fall from a saddle horse in Albany
but he never understood horses, He hadn't

H.. Cornelius the second was never a
horseman and the same may be said of
George, the youngest of the commodore's
grandsons.
Alfred Gwynne and Reginald, sons of the
commodore's grandson Cornelius, are the
best horsemen of the family's fourth gen
Grafton. Their brother Cornelius, who has
been discountenanced by his family be-
cause he married Miss Wilson, is no horse
man at all, almost never being seen either
riding or driving. His cousin, William X,
jr.. though owning horses a-plenty, owns
them chiefly because as a rich man it's the
thing to do; he cares much less for them
than for his various motor cars and other
horseless vehicles. w. X. Vanderbilt, his
father, takes an immense interest in racing.

willie X" a member Of the horse-loving
and horse-knowing fraternity.
Nor is Alfred Gwynne's fondness for the
horse at all like the feeling entertained for
the noble animal by his great grandfather
and his uncle. 1t is considered the proper
thing for a rich man of the inner circle tc
drive four-in-hands tandems and pairs

regular intervals every spring.
His polo playing is said to have been be-
gun because he is not very robust and it
was expected that the strenuous game
would build up mis- physical strength. This
expectation has been measurably fulfilled;
he is stronger now than ever before and
besides he has contracted a genuine liking
for the game. Recently he has enlarged
his polo grounds at Newport SO that they
are now of the regulation size, and the
younger and lighter set in which he and
his intimate friend, Robert Livingston
Gerry, son of Elbridge T. Gerry, commo-
dore of the New York Yacht club and best
known as the Cruelty to Children" man,
are such important factors, will do much
of it's playing on this field this season.

finds it inConyenient to do so, and Glanced
to be on the box the other day when a
Cruelty to Animals officer held up the
coach, claiming that one of the horses was
suffering from a CALLED shoulder.
Reginald Vanderbilt is a better horseman
than Alfred Gwynne, perhaps, and a more
daring polo player, but this is due almost
altogether to stronger physique and greater
weight. None of the younger and lighter
set is qualified to play polo with the Fox
hall Keene set.

the sprightly steppers quite as fondly as
either the founder of the family or his son
william H., to whom Early Rose and the
peerless Maud S. were as the apples Of his
two eyes.
Mr.. Frederick's fondness for the trotting
horse is of a different brand from the com
modore's. He undoubtedly got as much
pleasure in making a public show of him
self and his horses as he did out of the act
of driving. Consequently, he used to speed
his steppers invariably in New York,
where he could see and be seen, where
both he and his nags could receive the in
spiration that is furnished by an admiring,
cheering crowd. Frederick drives his
horses solely for his own pleasure and that
of his friends. He doesn't care for the
applause of the groundlings and virtually
never shows himself behind a speedy trot'
ter except on the secluded roads near Hyde
Park, his Hudson river country seat, or N
the vicinity of Newport, He has rarely
been seen driving in New York of late
years and it is doubtful whether he was
ever on the Speedway, a bit of g~loriieC
