When Joe and his father arose next
morning at daybreak, Waahputick was

TO RUN ONLY
ON COACH THIS YEAR
Young Millionaire to Abandon Second
Coach in London TO
Brighton Trip.

LONDON. Feb 2.-Alfred G.. Van
derbilt. speaking on his plans for the
coming summer. expressed his inten-
ton to run one coach (the well-known
Venture), instead of two, as last sum-
mer. between London and Brighton
during the months of May and June.
The first trip will be made on
May 3, a Tuesday Last year we found
that owing TO the fashion OF week
ending the down coach on Saturdays
was always full, while the up coach
was comparatively empty. AS there
will be only one coach this year, and
that running down one day and up
the next, II is necessary TO start the
season on a Tuesday in order to make
down trip on the Saturday.
II shall drive myself throughout the
season except on Saturdays and Mon
days, on which days my friend Mr..
Van der Horst Koch, who drove the
second coach last year, will be the
whip. The fares will be the same
15s. each way and G Is. for the box
seat.
The route will be different this
year. When / return to England early
in April | shall drive over every pos
sible route TO Brighton before decid-
ing which road the Venture shall take.
Our starting points will be as before
the Hotel Victoria, Northumberland
ave. in London, and the Hotel Metro
pole in Brighton.
"Fifty-slx Of the horses-a well-bal-
anced and workmanlike lot-which
used last summer have been wintering
at farm at Kingsbury, and | have
Just been informed they are in excel
lent condition.
II shall bring my team OF greys
over, and ii is an interesting reflec-
ton to me that Viking, Va our Vanity
and Vogue will by next April have
made the return trip between this
country and America three times, and
will have come here again for the
fourth time. for the sake of road
coaching in England. Counting the
total mileage of their sea Journeys
alone they will have covered by next
summer something like $1,000 miles"

christianity played no part what
