two rival Wilson ana Marshall clubs,
each striving for supremacy in tho

each club. Both clubs have meetings
scheduled for Friday night in the
two rival hotels Of Tulsa.

One Of the pictorial exhibits is a
series Of photographs and diagrams
showing every locomotive constructed
for the Georgia Central railroad from
the beginning to the present day. The
first is a tiny engine erected in 1923.
1t weighed about five tons and was
called the Chinkapin.
But the gem Of the collection, no
doubt, to the minds of most of. the Wis
itors will be the old De. Witt Clinton
train, the first ever run in the state Of
New York, with it's quaint, old time
coaches. modelled after the horse drawn
vehicles Of the time. its high stack

features which have disappeared in the
development of railroading. There are

days were al compared with the pres

Is to the giant Pacific type Of passen-
ger locomotive now in service on the
New York Central lines. The De Witt
Clinton. with its original pioneer train
Of three coaches, made its first regular
trip between Albany and Schenectady
on Aug. g. 1881. attaining a maximum
speed Of fifteen miles IAN hour. The
Clinton was built" at the West Point
foundry, foot Of Beach street. New
York. It's four driving wheels were
four feet six inches in diameter, the
cylinders five and one-half inches in
diameter and sixteen inch stroke. The
weight Of the engine and tender was
about six tons. The boiler had thirty
copper tubes two and one-half inches
in diameter. The engineer mounted n
small seat attached to the rear of the
tender and gave the signal for starting
lby blowing a tin horn. The fuel used
ION this trip was dry pitch pine. coal

back on the passengers in such a VOL

How tho Astor Fortune Grows.
The story Of the growth Of the Astor
fortune may be told in a sentence: The
first John Jacob Astor' bought New
York real estate With his earnings In
the fur business, and his descendants
have not sold New York real estate.
The line Of descent from John Jacob
Aston LIST to Vincent runs thus: Will
liam Backhouse Aston, son OF John ia
cob, was the father Of William Astor,
who was the father Of the late John
Jacob. Another son Of William Back
house Astor was John Jacob Astor Sd
(the second John Jacob was a son of
John Jacob LIST and died without issue).
The only son of John Jacob Sd is Will

John Jacob and head Of the English
branch of the house. He Is the. man
who has been attacked so fiercely in
the English and American newspapers
and magazines for 'expatriating him
