will be greatly regretted by the public,
for it has long been their favorite drive.
The order is believed to have been
made at. the instigation Of Mr.. Rookie
feller's son.. He is overseeing the erec-
miles long. One cause Of the exclusion
of the public is the reckless driving Of
some persons who rode over the beauti-
ful lawns Of the oil king.

these obligations. Curtiss, it is said,
did not account for some of these
