1t was high tide at the Horse Show last night
Never in the successful and popular shows at the
Madison Square Garden there such a throng
OF people the which gathered there last
evening over 1900 persons crowded the great
est place Of amusement In NcwYork. Representa-.
tlves of the English nobility became rival attrac-
tions which drew the attention OF many from the
horses The Duke and Duchess Of Marlborough,
sitting either side of Mrs. William X Wander
bilt. the young brides mother. fixed the gaze OK
thousands for more than an hour.
The vast crowd In the arena. which ordinarily
moves slowly around the ring on successful
night at the Horse Show. was blocked and heaped
into a surging. struggling. perspiring and almost
fainting mass of humanity last night in front Of
the box Of Cornelius Feowes. president OF the
National Horse Show Association Of America,
while the English nobleman and his American
wife sat on seats in the OF the box and tried
to look unconcerned Fashionably dressed women
ruined their expensive garments IN the struggle
to get closer view of the Duke and Duchess and
men almost came to blows in the terrific press.
AS for the horses az the show they performed
In manner worthy Of the recognition and ap-
plause Of enthusiastic thousands. The feature Of
forty-sx hunters in the great Corinthian Class
which occupied an hour at the close. There were
many beautiful and exciting exhibitions of skill
and power as the members of recognized hunt
clubs guided the horses in the flights over the
fences and there augha5le failures
well, but there were no serious accidents. The
other exhibitions Of riding and driving were such
to arouse the keenest delight in the breasts Of
lovers Of fine horses
PROTECTION FOR ALL.
During yesterday forenoon and afternoon the
exhibitions were mainly those Of American car.
riage horses, and the display was highly credit
able and saisfa ctory. At time in the after
5000 people looked at the horses in the ring.
With all the crowding of the Garden and the
lavish display OF diamonds there has been the
amplest security for all OF the patrons Of the
show. Nothing has been lost or stolen in tho
crowds. and thus far there has not been single
serious accident or act of violence.
Tim Golden, the retired Detectiye-Ser-
geant, stands just inside the main entrance Of
the Garden. and casts quiet look the face ot
every person who crosses the thresh hold Ha
has stood there at every Horse Show for eleven
years. and his sharp glance has detected the
presence of hundreds Of profes siona thieves who
sought to enter with The crowds. They got no
further than the door. For ten years. while
Tim was in the pay OF the city. he regu-
larIy detailed the Show by the Chief Of the
Detective Bureau. This year. although several
Of the Central Offce detectives have been as
signed to daily and nightly duty at the Garden,
the Horse Show officials engaged the services oc
the veteran detective, whose knowledge Of
thieves faces is unsurpassed. Among the thous-
ands Of people who visit the Show no pick
pockets have been able to ply their trade in tho
Garden.
People who particularly interested in tho
hackneys should be at the Garden early to-day,
because horses entered in six of the hackney
