CAR OF NOVEL DESIGN.
Added to Equipment of Big Western
Road for Benefit Of Women
Travellers.

Something entirely new in the way
of railroad equipment has just been
procured by big western road for use
on its overland limited trains between
Chicago and Omaha. 1t is what is
called composite observation" car,
the idea being to furnish women pas
sengers an opportunity of taking in
the beauties of the scenery with the
greatest possible amount of comfort
and entirely free from the fumes of
tobacco smoke. The car is divided into
two main parts, one of which is di-
Vided from the other very much after
the manner of a compartment sleeping
car, with lobby running down the
side of the inclosed space. This in
closure is for the use of the smokers
and those seeking other refreshments
from the buffet.
Another noteworthy feature of the
new style car is its extraordinary
strength. Throughout the car there
has been placed series of steel arch
es, which bind stills and sides together
and strengthen the roof in a manner
which renders the car almost indie
structible.
The interior woodwork is all of st.
Jago mahogany and presents very
rich appearance. The car is lighted
with Pintsch gas and electricity. It is
also furnished with electric fans by
which the temperature may be mod
Grated in the hottest summer weather
In both the observation room and
smoking rooms writing desks have
been provided and in the observation
room library and stands on which re-
cent periodicals are always to be found

Courses have unquestionably advanced with

but of a more rational and more golflng
character, while the fair greens are i'm
measurably better.
All this undoubtedly has been an impro-

ers collectively, and the spring season just
past has revealed some young players who.

the time to the game demands, should take
rank with the best anywhere.
All that remains now Is to produce put

side. Whether this Is possible or not under
the climatic conditions remains to be seer:
probably not. but American ingenuity can
go a long way to surmount difficulties.

Washington Lad Has Good Chance oil
Winning Out

Two important bouts are scheduled to be

are the contests between Jimmy Britt and

and Hart are to have it out in Nevada
within the next ten days. while Britt and
Sullivan come together in San Francisco a
few weeks later.
Local interest Is concerned mainly with

the local boy will be the white lightweight
champion of the world. Next to Joe Cans,
the champion Britt, Is beyond doubt the
best lightweight that the American ring
has seen in many years. He has beaten

thought to be invincible. Britt lost to Cans
on an alleged foul. But nine out of every
ten who saw this go think there was
something amiss with that affair Sullivan
has only made a name for himself during
the last year. His career has been meteor

merited draw, no one took him very Sc

rounds and snapped blow for blow with
him. the f1Stic SharpS were forced to open
their eyes and admit that Sullivan was a
pugilist who might do something out of the
ordinary with the gloves some day. Sullivan
is a rugged, hearty fighter. He is clever in
a way. but does not compare with Britt in
point of skill. Sullivan possesses. a wicked

and may avoid all Sullivan's hard blows
but if he does not he stands good chance
