Wonderful roses, Of hundred different tints and
shapes, entered the lists In Madison Square Garden
yesterday to compete In silent tournament with the
stately chrysanthemums. Among them there was a
magnificent sport OF the American Beauty. 1t was
about the same that variety, but the tint
iOcomparaby more delicate 1t was like glowing
red rose, barely touched on the edges by slvery,
feathcry
With this second day OF the exhibition, the great
place took added charm. More flowers are
coming daily and the arrangement OF the plants is
wonderfully artistic. Looking down from above, the
sight is to be forgotten The eye revels
In a OF color, the brilliant effect OF which is
heightened by the japanese lanterns. SO many OF
them there, and they are so cunningy arranged,
that they look like myrads Of twinRng stars glowing
through the tropical ferns and creepers. One impress
sion which the exhibition makes on the visitor is
one Of great peace and silence. Though throngs Of
people endessy through the paths they are lost
amid the STILL silent rows OF flowers In their
Quee1ly repose and loneliness.
