Especial Correspondence from New York.
The rumble of the wheels and the clank-
ing of the silver harness proclaim the near
approach OF the Horse Show that annually
ushers in the social season with all the
pomp and splendor BETTING the serious
occasion. Next Monday it will open at
the Madison Square Garden and continue
throughout the week. Coachman, groom
and stableboy are each working to have
his steed groomed to the topmost notch of
perfection so that blue ribbon of honor at
least may be bestowed. Polishing the
glittering accoutr ments as we'll as trying
on new liveries form other pleasant duties
toward the goal. Meanwhile, the modiste
and milliner are giving French touches Of
chic and style to their original creations
to be donned and aired at the great event.
As clothes show the exhibition now ranks
with the Grand Prix horse aces in Paris,
where the new gowns are first worn that
set the fashion tor the season. Even the
haiI dresser advertises special Horse
Show couture that cannot fail to divert the
crowd. One show window displays large
horseshoe made of velvet on which yards OF
rare lace are outlined. A popular florist
has arranged rows of royal purple orchids
in horseshoe curve with fantest pink
orchids spelling ont large Welcome"
Last year $3.50 was paid TO the we'll
known head waiter at q swell restaurant
tor having particular table reserved for
every evening at dinner during the week.
In order to secure some coveted table or
more especially good service, $50 or $75
tip is thought mere bagatelie to the
bestower thereof. The chefs at the lead
ing restaurants always introduce new
dish for this occasion, or at all events call
some old dish by new name and then
double the price. People who come here
from other cities are apparently possessed
with the idea that they must impress New
Workers with their wealth Consequently
the ladies are most deliberately gowned
and always wear huge punches of violets,
and the men give dinners that are COM
posed of every expensive dish the waiter
recommends. At the auction sale OF
boxes for the show $4,000 was realized,
$40 being the highest figure reached for
single box.
The State Federation OF Women's Clubs

NO TURKEY FOR THEM.
The College Athletes Denied Tha,
Detachable Dish.

The College Athletes Denied That
Delectable Dish.
To the students of the hundreds of
American colleges Thanksgiving is the
important day of the year.
1t is not day for turkey and cranber
ries. It is the day for athletios-the time
for the big gridiron game of the season.
If the game is to be played ON the hoinc
campus, there is hurry and excitement
there. In the morning the team is being
put through light signal practice on the
athletic field. The college boy who cares
for the sport only as rooter" is primp-
ing in his room in the dormitory, for in
his line he is as much a 'star" as play
er. Lunch at noon is devoured with a
gulp, and usually consists of wafer and
a cup of chocolate prepared over a student
lamp in his room. There is plenty of
time for course dinner after the game.
For days before Thanksgiving the col
lege postotiice is the center of attraction.
Every piece of mail, as it is sorted is anx-
iously watched, for the Thanksgiving s're-
mittanoe' from home is important. 1t
means tickets for the game, chrysanthe-
NUNS for the "girl, F" a "rooter's" horn and
maybe box OF chocolates to be muncbed
on the tallyhc or in the grand stand.
The poor boy, the grind, who comes
to study and not for the social side of col
lege life, is nO5 in as high spirits. He
does not take the butterfly interest in the
festivities like his richer classmate. He
takes tickets at the gate, acts as usher or
fills some other busy Office, and for this
service sees the game for nothing.
Should the game be played away from
the college the arrangements for it are
different. The grind then becomes q
lonely" and stays at home while the
others go to the game. The dormitory
seems to him never to have been so big
and lonesome tefore. Maybe he goes to
the depot to SEQ the boys 'off." Maybe
he plays OH his guitar or talks on scientific
subjects in another lonely" room, but
he does not 20 to the game. But there is
small pleasure in the diversion, and he
usually buries his feelings in study.
