LEASE THREE FINE COACHES. (These Are Attached to Regular Trains, but the Club Members Always Have Seats and Avoid the Annoyances of Suburban Travel. —— ‘Attached to the Greenwich express men it came rushing into the Grand Central station to-day were two magni- ficently-appointed private cars, Not un- til after the dozen other coaches had given up their many passengers was there a stir on either of the rear ones. ‘The porters sprang from the plat- forms of each and stood ready to re- ‘eelve three score or more of weil- Gressed gentlemen. One of the first to bound lightly to the | - platform was William G. Rockefeller. Then came Samuel Truesdale, Richard end Lionel Sutro, James McCutcheon, W. H. MoCord, C. T. Wills, Col, Henry H. Adams, William H. Newman, Robert B. Baker, F. M. Freeman, J. L. Elliott, ‘W. T. Graham, and many other million- aires of New York who make thejr homes during the summer or through the whole year in the suburbs between New York and Stamford, Conn. On these cars and on another pri goach, which comes into New York an hour earlier, ride nearly all the men of millions from Stamford, Greenwich and Belle Haven, It is ciaimed by these gentlemen that they have the only pri- vate car club in America, and they are @s proud of this club and its standing es they are of the most exclusive or- ganization to which they belong in New York. It is as hard to get into Its circle As it Is to get into the Union Club, and @ready its limited membership is filled ‘and there 1s a long waiting list. How Ciub Was Formed. It was through the cotirtesy of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad that the private car club was formed. At all seasons of the year, es- pecially during the summer months, travel on the suburban trains ts s0 heavy that it {s next to impossible ta secure seats, much less comforts, after ‘the morning trains leave Greenwich. Men who are worth many mill- fons hung over seats and fought for standing room on their way to New York. ‘The same conditions prevailed in the afternoon, when, tired from work, they were forced to-stand during the entire trip homé. So bad did the cgn- ditions become during the early part of the summer that Belle Havey, Green- wich and other exclusive suburbs threatened to become unpopular with the, very rich whose business called them to New York daily. “Why not form a private car club?’ James McCutcheon. The idea was taken up at once, Every man to whom the club. was suggested ‘was enthusiaatic. It was intended at first to have one chair car, elaborately fitted out, the rant of which was to be pald for by the members of the clyb, This chair car would accommodate forty men comfortably. When the railroad was communicated with @ price was agreed upon. Then it was that the ob- Ject of the'club became known. There ‘wag such a:rush for membership that two cara werg provided. The two were found insufficient and a third car was rented. When-the third car was contracted for @ meetiug of the club's executive com- mittee was held and it was agreed to have the third car leave Stamford an hour earlier than the two other cars | Coen. this country ‘only ten years ago and That he eeaste Gace” | POLIGE MATRON ROBBED, |esmatenie eet eta Beet lp Ouality: a s e because many K ing at 5 ociock he mo of the suburban millionaires are early Ther aymaconues two. oaks aN: Cor.

The first car t attached to a train which leaves Stamford at 7.35 o'clock. arriving at New York at $30 in the morning. The second train, on which she majority of club members come to business, leaves Stamford at 8.02, arriv- dng at New York at 9 o'clock. The last private club cars leave New (Fork at’5.03 o'clock in the afternoon, arriving at Greenwich at 5.5L, and then making the run on to Stamford. The last private coaches to leave New Yorle Are always crowded. en these ‘men of millions are on board their private club car, either toming to New York or going ‘to their homes, all thoughts of business are for- gotten. They lounge abouc m_ their; comfortable chairs smoking and joking. There Is aways a card gume. which ia oth interesting and exciting. All the private cars are iitted alike with every modern conyenignce and comfort.
