few seconds before eight o'clock last night
FIVE thinly-clad athletes assumed expectant
attitudes In Madison Square Garden, their
auiverinR bodies expressing as plainly as
words Let cr CO." Then came the crack OF
the starters pistol and the first athletic meet
ing in the magnificent amphitheatre was un-
der way.
There WAS large and semi-fashionable au-
dlence present the aristocratic boxes on the
Twenty seventh street side being well filled
with ladies and their escorts. while the Demo-
cratic portion Of tho house was jammed with
enthusiastic shouters. The large assem-
blage, which must have numbered at
least 5000, looked lost in the big struc-
ture, however, and there was missing that
"hoop-la" order Of Affairs which was such
characteristic OF tho old Garden. AS ono OF
the old gang remarked: Il feel lost MP here;
there's too many dudes" As It costs a small
fortune to rent the Garden for night. 1t is
probable that the New Yorks and Manhattans
will have monopoly Of the business at that
stand
1t was great night, though. even If the en-
thusissm lacked the old-tims ring. The bril-
liant electric lights running across tho roof In
arches the athletes spinning around the track
to the inspiring music Of the gallant sevenths
band the ticrs upon tiers Of applauding spec
tators, ell combined to make scene Of daz.
