stand at the club doors snd their advt T.
tiSements shine in the newspapers. They
are seen on the innermOst country roads.
Yet there are more horses and better
horses at Madison Square Garden this
week than have ever been there before.
They show that in the circles of wealth,
at least, the man is put above the dollar.
To "get there to reach the end of a
Journey here or there, is not the only
thing in life. Means of getting there In
a way to interest the mind, restore the
spirit and at the same time pay tribute to
human art and animal beauty are enthu-
slasticalIy and lavishiy cultivated. AS
the use of the power-wagon extends, the
horse becomes more and more marked as
one of lfe's elegancies, but it possesses
too many irrepaceable attractions to
lose its hold on society at large.
The automobile cannot jump, yet what
is the eXhilaratiOn like that which comes
from the jumping horse? The automo-
bile won't carry you across the country
or along the bypaths of the WOODS. Yet
there mans delight is mastery over the
brute creation and his sense of freedom
on the face of nature are the keenest.

THE HORSE SHOW.

The automobile will carry you comfort
ably about town and may cease to be
ugly, but it will never give distinction to
its owner like pair of horses that are
perfectly made, matched and turned out
Automobiles may be built to carry many
people, yet they can't afford the ply steal
and intellectual pleasure of holding the
Ieins that guide four horses. You could
hitch one automobile before another, vet
it wouldn't be tandem. And when you
struck a stretch of long smooth road :,
you might pull the throttle wide open,
but, If you had still the natural spark of
excitement in you you would give your
machine for the thrill felt by the man
being whirled alongside by trotter, in
tent on that delicate touching of the bit
that keeps his flyers back level when at
top speed and gay with the noise of his
pattering feet.
So the horse fourishes. Thanks to the
increase of wealth and the spread of the
taste for sport, and. in this city, particu-
larly. to Speedway Park, there is at pres
ent supassing number of people who
cultivate the higher types of horse. Con-
sequently the show at Madison Square
Garden is unprecedentedly large and
brilliant, and the good horsemen who
have made ii what it is deserve the re-
ward of having their animals visited in
countless thousands by an enlightened
and appreciative public..-New lork Sun.

and granted free pratique. A swarm of
boats of all descriptions Immediately sur
rounded the warship. Mr. Van Hamer,
who acts as Interpreter for President

not land until noon, as the officers and
crew of the vessel desired to give him a
ceremoniOus farewell.
The Boer peace ENJOYS, Messrs. Fischer,
Vessels and Wolmarans, boarded the
warship shortly after her arrival and had
a conference with President Kruger.

Gus citizens of the South African repub-
lie, resident in France, were the first to
greet "Oom Paul as he stepped ashore.
The city officials also greeted him and
babe him hearty Uelcomc to Marseilles.
Great enthusiasm was shown by the
crowds gathered at the pier when the old
man walked down the gangway from the
warship. The stern old fighter was
much touched by the cordiaity of his re-
ccption. The whole route from the land
ing place to his hotel was crowded with
people. Mr.. Kruger appeared to be in
good health, and repeatedly took off his
high hat in acknowledging the accama.
tions of the people.
Replying 10 the addresses of welcome
of the presidents of the Paris and Mar
settles committees, Mr.. Kruger spoke il
Dutch and in low voice. But he ac
companied his words with energetic
movements of his hat. which he held il
his right hand. After thanking the com
mittees for the warmth of the reception
accorded him and expressing gratitude
for the sympathy he had received from
the French government, he spoke of tn,
war as being terrible and barbarouslN
conducted by the British. He said

vailed and continued over an hour.
a sight which stirred the feeling of the
crowd to the utmost was the appearance
on the balcony of the great grandchildren
of Kruger waving a Botr flag. The little
ones were cheered to the echo As they
were held aloft by servant and they
unfurled the Bocr colors.

the Hotel Scribe, and Mr.. Kruger. his
interpreter, and NJ Crosler proceeded to
the ELY See, escorted by Il strong detach-
ment of Curassiers. The scenes OF

drawn up in the courtyard rendered the
honors.

in the hall of the ambassadors. where

interview lasted five minutes.

the breast of his frock coat, a green
scarf with red border, the insignia of
