MR. VANDERBILT IN DISGUISE
Reaches Philadelp hia Masked With Mud
AFTER 10 Hours I'm Auto.

PHILADELPHIA, May "a -Reginald VAN
derbilt came to Philadelphia in disguise
to-day. He did not know he had hidden his
features beyond recognition until he entered
the mirror walled elevator Of the Bellevue
Stratford. He gasped as he saw himself.
The disguise consisted Of mud, grease and
g~asolene dnppings.
His appearance was explained by the
fact that it had taken him just ten hours to
bring his auto from New York. Mr.. Van
derbilt's party consists Of Miss May and
Mr.. and Mrs. Kipp. The party left New
York at 10 O'Clock this morning and almost
from the moment they struck New Jersey
they found themselves fighting a rain storm.
Shortly after leaving Jersey City they
stopped and rugged all the rain curtains in
the outfit and plunged along to New Bruins
wick, where they stopped for lunch.
The necessarily slow course was then
continued until, just a little before Trenton,
there was a loud explosion and the machine
began humping toward one side Of the
road. The right front tire had exploded
and all repair shops were out of reach.
The chauffeur dismouuted in the rain N
proceeded to get the new tire into place.
Trenton was assed in safety, but a few
miles out of the city, the engine went wrong.
It va getting dark and a'ter a little tinker
ing the cl a iffeur suggested fat the party
20 to Trenton aid take a train leaving him
TO bring on the machine. Neither Mr.. nor
Mrs. Vanderbilt would hear Of sue a thing.
Mr.. Vanderbilt crawled under the machine
aud took personal charge Of the tinkering.
Finally he succeeded in PATCHING the break,
and Phi q 1elphia'w was safely reached.

about to go over the stern. He leaned out
TO grab it and just then a big wave hit the
launch and threw him overheard. The

One day a rather novel spectacle
was offered in the window of the
largest crockery and bric-a- brac estab-

very fat mouse, with a look OF we'll

ing until an unsuspicious fly ambled
within his reach, he would capture 1t

sitting on his launches, with the I'M
fortunate buzzer in his front paws, he
peeled off the wings and legs as
squirrel shucks NUT and ate the
body with infinite relish. In 10 min

flies at the rate of two a minute. The
whole window-seat was covered with
wings and legs, which showed that he
