Richard Arthur Norton: Thanks for the information on Mrs. Blatch. Based on other images in the Prints and Photographs Division's collection and the names noted on this negative, we can also identify the remaining women pictured here as, from L to R: Susan Fitzgerald, Emma Bugby, Maggie Murphy and Harriot Stanton Blatch. We will expand the description when we update this record.

I started an entry in Wikipedia: Alfred Holland Smith (1863-1924) was president of the New York Central Railroad. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Holland_Smith

Smith was in the news (per Bain) on July 30, 1913, when he was still Senior Vice President of the NYCRR. He did not become president until December 31 of that year. In 1913, Smith was appointed a member of the railroad arbitration board, designed to head off strikes. Other members of the board, including Seth Low, appear in several Bain photos posted earlier on the LOC photostream.
