NEW PARLOR
CAR SERVICE
WHEELING G. LAKE ERIE PUTS
NEW SERVICE INTO EFFECT.
palatal Cars Now Running Between
Cleveland and Wheeling-First
Regular Trlp-Description
of Cars.

The first trip Of the new parlor cars
on the Wheeling & Lake Erie from
Cleveland to Wheeling and return was
made yesterday, and today the cars go
into regular commission. The cars
are palatial in their equipment and
have all of the modern improvements,
including electric lights. The trip
yesterday was under the direct super
vision of E. C. Coolidge, General Pas
senger Agent of the w. & L. e. In
the train was a delegation of railway
officials and newspaper men who were
invited guests OF the company. The
party was unanimous in praise of the
company both for the treatment re-
ceiyed and the enterprise shown.
The new train vii, have the finest
equipment ever put out on the Wheel
ing & Lake Erie. 1t will leave Cleve-
land every morning at ESQ, Canton at
s.: 80 and arrive in Wheeling at 1920,
leaving there at 3:45 and arriving at
Canton at 7:3O Cleveland at 9:20. It
has full dining and parlor car service
and is up to date in every particular.
The equipment tor the train has
been built especially for this service.
The parlor car is said to be one of the
finest ever built. 1t contains all the
improvements known to the builders,
with writing desks, stationary, electric
fans, electric lights, and all sanitary
arrangements. The day coach built for
the train is one of the new type and
has Accommodations Tor eighty-four pas
sengers.
A new feature mas been introduced
in the construction OF this car. The
Wheeling & Lake Erie patronage is
such as would not warrant the opera
tion of a dining car, ana in this coach
q kitchen feature has been embodied.
The car is Of the style where the smok-
ing compartment is at the end, similar
to that Of a Pullman sleeper. This
compartment has been converted into
kitchen, from which a la carte meals
will be served. A device will be intro
duced on the train which will admit
OF meals being served not only in the
parlor cars, but in the coaches.
The history of the parlor car on the
Wheeling & Lake Erie IS an interesting
one Its prices for such Conveniences
are lower than on any railroad known.
Four years ago the first psrlor car
was installed between Cleveland and
Wheeling. price of 25 cents for 100
miles and so cents IOr over that dis
tanCe was established. The railroad
men scoffed at the idea Of putting the
price so cheap, and predicted that the
cars would be withdrawn within six
months. After they were in operation
for four months the management found
that 1t could reduce the parlOr car fare
TO % cents from Cleveland to Wheeling
and still keep the cars on a paying
basis. The plan was adopted and there
are now few railroads in the country
whose cars are run with better results,
financially. The cars are filled on
every trip.

MORE: RACES
BY THE AUTOMOBILE CLUB BUT
THEY WILL BE HELD
NEXT YEAR.

The Canton Automobile club held a
meeting in the city hall last night,
the object of which was to consider
the advisability of having another race
meeting this month or not. After
talking on the question for short time
a motion was made and voted favor
ably upon that the club secure the
Stark county fair ground for Decora-
ton day of next year. For the meet
next year it was thought that Fourth
of July or Labor day would be more
fitting date but it had been learned
by some Of the members that the Can
ton Driving Park association had a
lease for these two holidays and that
time.
The club, in body, will make a
run to Cleveland on the fifteenth Of
this month, to attend the automobile
races in the Forest city. Every per-
son In Canton who owns a machine
will be seen and urged to accompany
the club.
Mayor Smith, who in connection
with the health board meeting attend
ed this one, produced motion that
every driver who had particiated in
the events during the late race meet
should be rendered a vote Of thanks.
After this had been taken fayorably
the organization adjourned until an
other later date.
