work of moving out the big cars and
the countless accessories that had form
cd so large part during the last week

mobile show ever seen in America went
on. BY nightfall every vestige OF the
great exhibition that had attracted thou
sands OF autornoblis,s to New York had
disappeared, and the few remaining Swiss
scenes still draped around the balconies
looked as cold MS their snow-clad Alpine
peaks.
Some of the cars were taken direct to
their respective garages and salesrooms in
the city. but the great majority were load
ed on big trucks and cartsd to the freight
yards OF the New York Central Railroad
at the foot of West Thirty-third Street
where two special trains were waiting to
receive them. BY an arrangement ma de

cars had been secured to insure im,ne-
d!ate transportation of the larger part OF
the Madison Square Garden exhibit to
Chicago for the show there. which will
be held from February I'd to February
9th.
