No one thinks now of appointing a meeting

Up town, next to one of the agencies on

But the reign of religion in the Garden
was short. 1t was essentially the abode of
amusements. Barnum's circus, with its ele-
plants and gayly trapped horses, its painted
clowns and daring tumblers, drew thousands
upon thousands to the resort. Gilmore's
band discoursed explosive melodies to the de
light of great crowds there, night after night,
and the picture of the great band leader
standing in the midst of his many musicians
with cannon to right of him, cannon to left
of him, his baton cutting the air in rhythmic
strokes, while horns footed, fddles sawed,
drums doomed and artillery Numbered, is in
efraceably impressed on many memories.

OF Robert Schuyler.


At first the only use made of the land was
to nave a small starting office at Twenty
sixth street and Fourth avenue for the city
car line. In 1854 a building was put up for
the reception of milk trains and the delivery
of milk and farmers produce at night. Nine
years later a passenger station for the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad
was erected. When the Grand Central sta
ton was put up in 1871 the Garden building
was abandoned by the railroad company and
leased to Phineas t. Barnum.
Soon afterward Shook s. Gilmore's mu-
scum was started there, and the building was
put into practically the same shape in which
it stood a few weeks ago when the workmen
began tearing it down to make room for the
new structure.
In conversation the other day an old New
Yorker said:
MY memory of the first time l ever Wis
tied Madison Square Garden is as vivid as If
the visit was made yesterday. 1t was while
Moody and Sankey's ~revivals were in prog

the young people had evidently gone out OF
curiosity and a desire to see something new
