Bale of a hansom cab from the sta-- bles of the estate of Gen. J. T. Tor-- rence to Henry Ford for the motor magnate's museum of vehicles of all ages recalls the days when hansom eabs were almost as numerous in Chi-- today. Contrary to general belief. the equipage with its driver perched high behind and its horse appearing to be in momentary danger of being lifted from the pavement by the ap-- parently overwhelming topheaviness of the vehicle was not confined to pub-- lic usage. o According to Robert C. Irwin, su-- penintendent of the C. P. Kimball & Co., plant, which built the Torrence cab, many such were made for private stables in the early days of the han-- som vogue. _ Similar equipages were owned by the late Columbus R. Cummings, mul-- timillionaire father of Mark --Cum-- mings of Lake Forest; Clarence Buck-- ingham, Thomas F. Lynch, wealthy whisky distiller; A. W. Goodrich of the Goodrich Transportation com-- pany; F. C. Austin, and many others. Old--time Chicagoans recall with pleasure Gen. Torrence, Randsome and stately. In his glistening silk "top-- per," his habiliments of the finest monéy could buy or sartorial art fash-- ion, drlvlniabout in one of his smart equipages, 'he was a familiar figure. It was not infrequently. that the han-- som was to be observed parked in front of the old Torrence mansion, now the home of Mrs. Harold McCor-- mick at Bellevue place and the Lake Bhore drive: The cab was built in 1887, and cost itls tCwner $2,500. Today, the same vehicle with the same grade of work-- manship and materials, would stand its purchaser double the sum. COLORED CHEF _ _ THOUGHT WORLD woULD END Became So Nervous He Burned . the Pies for Gin Flora Club's® _ Dinnr Dance. reading about the eclipse Saturday, looked forward to the event with many misgivings, believing that the earth probably would be destroyed. " Last Friday afternoon the sky be-- '*Bam Browid, colored chef at the Glen-- Flora Country club, had been came darkened. with a --mysterious fog or smoke. The sun could be seen ©uly faintly and it took on a strang-- er uncanny appearance.
