Community Life in Tuxedo 
THE GOLF LINKS—RIGHT END 
leave. These precautions have reduced to- 
the vanishing point the danger of robbery. 
Most of the cottagers leave their front doors 
unlocked at night, and their silver on the 
ground floor. A fire brigade is organized 
among the Park employees, and a hose cart, 
drawn by the men, is kept at a convenient 
location. No engine is needed, the head of 
water being sufficient without extra pumping. 
Alarms are given by telephone to the central 
station of the latter system. The telephone 
company leases its Park privileges. The 
Association maintains also a cab and station 
service, for members and guests, and although 
fares are low, the enterprise earns a small 
profit. It is one of the cooperative factors of 
Tuxedo life. For this service, the late Pierre 
Lorillard devised what in the Park is called a 
“jigger,” a wagon light enough to be pulled 
by one horse over heavy grades, yet holding 
four persons and the driver. It has two seats 
running lengthwise, at right angles to the 
driver’s seat. Painted a neat yellow, these 
“jiggers” are characteristic features of the 
Park. Automobiles, except of the small and 
quiet sort, are not allowed to approach the 
club house. 
Several organizations besides the Tuxedo 
Club derive their privileges from the Tuxedo 
Park Association. One of them is the Court 
Tennis and Racquet Club, whose building, 
fronted by lawn tennis courts and designed by 
Lloyd Warren, is shown in the illustration. 
It contains rooms for court tennis, squash, 
racquet and other games, with Turkish baths, 
reading and reception rooms, for men and 
women. The land for this appropriate and 
distinguished building was given by the Asso¬ 
ciation. A picturesque golf course of eighteen 
holes, near the north gate, is leased by the 
Tuxedo Golf Club. As the illustrations 
show, the links are shadowed by splendid 
hills. Membership in either of these is 
limited to the Tuxedo Club list. The Tux¬ 
edo Horse Show Association cleared a large 
swamp of mud twenty feet deep and built 
a half mile track, on which races are held 
and within which polo is sometimes played. 
Athletic carnivals for the villagers also take 
place there, but the annual horse show is 
the important event of the season. I he 
track is situated some distance within the 
gate, and is the centre of a natural amphi¬ 
theatre. The Association has also given land 
for three churches, one in the enclosure and 
two outside, and for a public library and pub-
