IMPORTED SNOW
SIX CARS OF FLAK.ES. ;. ' ■ Six carloads of Grade A Adirondack snow from Thendaie, N.Y., were conto Cliauncey Depew Steele, owner of Briarcliif Lodge, Westchester County. The snow, properly insured against melting and rain, was used on the 200-yard slide for the Olympic team of ski jumpers who< gave an exhibition. * They were on their way to the sports in Switzerland. When nature failed to provide snow in time, Mr Steele decided to get some. > The New York Central was willing to provide cars, lput never had hauled snow, as a cargo', and the Interstate Commerce Commission had net fixed a rate. Finally it was decided snow was ice in transit, and the minimum rate for ice would do.
Then Mr Steele went to Lloyd’s and decided to take a chance.
