The first of the G. R. I. & P. retire.

These cars will be ready for business
about June LIST. They will run on their own
schedule time. and carry eggs, butter,
fruit and other perishable goods. They
will run over the entire extent of the road,

any station at the same rate as other
freight. They belong exclusively
to the G. R. |. & P. company, and
are under its especial control. Six
cars will be put on at the start and
others added as the demand increases.
The car is so constructed that the ice
boxes are at each end of the car and can
be filed from the outside or inside as deslr-
ed. The hot air is forced to the top OF
the car by means of cool draught from
under the refrigerators, and reaching
there is forced to either end and thence
through to the top of the ice box where it
is rarifed by tho frigid atmosphere. An
advantage not possessed by any other
refrigerator car is the fact that the air is
always dry, the waste water posing OH by
means OF cans at the bottom of the ice
boxes, one pan being within another and
at the bottom of the larger can is hole
through which the water is letout through
the bottom of the car. The car is the
