The Washington monument at Buda.
pest is a gift which the Hungarians OF
the United States have presented TO the
city, and is said 10 be one II the
most imposing ever erected in Europe
| II was decided by the United Hun
! garians of Boston and vicinity TO hold
! local exercises to show their patriotic
feeling toward the United States.
Shortly after noon the committee in
! charge Of the celebration gathered at
the Washington monument. Chairman
Freeland, on behalf OF the Hungarians,
made short address, and then fol-
lowed the placing Of the wreath, which
was done amid tremendous enthusi-
asm. After Mayor Fitzgerald's address.
the gathering adjourned to Kossuth
hall, where they held a banquet, en-
jOyed by members and friends.
Six new cafe cars are to be operated
in connection with all through trains
over the Fitchburg Division of the
Boston d. Maine Railroad, and will be
great convenience to passengers en-
route TO or from the West, as well az
TO local patrons Of the road.
The cars were built by the Pullman
Palace Car Company, which leads tho
world in high-class car construction,
and were ordered by the Boston &
Maine management last March They
were delivered 10 the company several
weeks ago, and have since been fitted
up with the necessary equipment under
the supervision Of the Armstrong Din
ing Room Il News Company, which
has been given the contract TO op-
crate them.
They are Of the standard Pullman
size and color. Their interior finish is
plain yet rich and elegant and they
have all the latest accessories that
have ever been added TO modern din
ing car They typify, in fact, the very
acme Of perfection in this kind Of rail
road equipment, and no railroad In
the world can today boast of a finer set
of cafe or dining cars.
The cars are divided into three sep
arate compartments passenger, din
ing and culinary. The passenger com
partmcnt, is entered through a broad |
vestibule of the Pullman standard type,
finished in mahogany and with the lat
est style Of plate glass windows and
brass trimmings.
The dining compartment is separat- |
ed from the passenger compartment !
by a partition, and is fitted with six
tables, three on each side of the car,
each seating four persOns-a total ca
pacity OF "A diners at one sitting. One !
of the most important features of the 4
car, however, is that it can, in very !
short time, by the removal OF the |
partition and the seats in the passenger |
be converted into "A fun |
dining car, with accommodations for |
As diners
The important department COmpris- 4
ing the kitchen and pantry immediate !
ly adjOins the dining compartment and
here everything that long experience |
in this phase q transportation has been !
able to suggest has been installed !
Each car Will have a working stan |
Of about six persons, including chefs |
and walters. The service will be a la !
carte and the fact that it will be in |
charge OF the Armstrong Company is
n sufficient guarantee that it will leave |
nothing to be desired
The new ears went into commission |
Division, Sunday, Sept. l6, and their !
advent signalizes yet another instance |
of Boston a. Maine enterprise and fur
nisheS an additional proof Of the man
agement's desire TO meet the require
mcnts Of the travelling public.
