Busch Car Arrives
Some heartless wag circulated the
news this afternoon on the streets that
the long watched for Busch private car
had Just arrived and was even then
standing in the Santa Fe yards.
Many straightway visited the yards
to make sure and to feast their eyes
upon the outward evidence of the
great wealth of the st. Louis brewer.
It was there, but It was not the car
In which the Busch party Is expected
to arrive. 1t was a monster green
and-white Anheuser-Busch freight
car and was dropped beside the freight
building by q passing freight train
Whether the car contained provisions
for the expected wedding feast at the
Busch mansion or simply Indicated the
restocking of the family cellars for a
coming dry season must still be n mat
ter Of conjecture. The handsome car
with It's gorgeous trade mark of the
famous ST. Louis product caused much
comment this afternoon as II was seen
from Central park
But the real private car in which the
Busch party is expected to arrive Is
still unaccounted for. 1t may be said
In passing that the interest Pasadenans
are showing in the movements of the
head Of the Anheuser fortunes is in
no sense unfriendly. Mr.. Busch Is re-
ported to be a very amiable and public
spirited man, and the Crown city has
no desire to make his stay here other
than pleasant.
