Reports from the box office at Madison Squars
Garden which, after ALL is the most infallibe
index of the popularity of the Horse Show,
showed that the attendance on Monday was
three thousand in excess of that on the Monday
or 19OOs show. while Tuesdays attendance ex-
ceeded the attendance of the corresponding
Tuesday year ago by similar margin Yes
terday's figures had not been calculated at d
late hour lat night but they were much greater
than Tuesdays. so that il appears that a record
breaking show in point of attendance is in prog
ress in the big amphitheatre at Madison-ave-
and Twenty-sixth-st. AS it's social side is fully
| up to the average and the number and the
general quality of the entries are in excess OF any
| previous year, 1t is plain that the Horse Show
| Of 1901 is the champion show of all the morse
/ shows.
| The immense Garden a brilliant sight
| last evening al $50 O'Clock. when the saddle
| horses were being judged The promenade was
| once more packed with wellbred humanity from
| rail to boxes At some points where the human
| exhibits above the level of the floor we're par
| ticuIarly striking it impossible to move a
| step in any direction for the throng- Here, too
| a curious phenomenon was to be observed, The
occupants of the promenade were divided INTO
| two parties which stood practically back 10
| back One party surrounded the ring six deep.
| and looked exclusively at the horses For them
| there were no such things as boxes The other
party turned its backs upon the ring and gazed
| steadily and sinilingly the row on row OF
brilliantly clad women and men in evening
dress above them. The two elements that go
| in varying degrees make up the success OF
| the Horse Show were thus sufficiently brought
! out.
Not a few observers to whom the human
! animal is of more interest than the horse spent
hours standing in the same position and listened
| 70 the talk that went about them as the
throng strolled by What they heard was
frasmentary but full OF variety Some of it
| sounded much like this:
Jersey comnluter Cn for the evening)-'See
that fat old chap with the gray wEiskers IN thac
hex? Wonder how he's cataloSued- En- Ha-
Ha, Pretty good eh?'
Small woman in pink (other stalwart escort)-
| I've been watching that tall. old lady with the
| black hat for half hour and she hasn't moved
| or spoken in that time. worder II she redllS
eriovs il? Looks bored 10 death
| STOUT elderly man in paddock coat (to a slight
| chan who looks like a jockey)-"Cheap bunch OF
| ttoroughbreds. Fancy old cripple Jack Point
| eettin, a blue ribbon. Why the last race he
rum
| Middle aged. well preserved woman in black
| let ,as she meets da1per little man with a
! blond mustache)-"How do you do, Mr. -
| T saw YOU when you came of the steamer the
other dav Yes 1 was there TO meet
| And so If went on-that bewIIdering whirlpool
| of humanity
| DoubtIess the extraordinary success Of this
| wears show is due in no small part TO the place
! in the public eye that American thoroushoreds
and trotters have occupied in the season Just
| come to a close. American owners successes IN
England. American jockeys successes in several
| foreign countries the performances OF sucn
| horses as Cresceus and The Abbot-an these
| bova heen potent factors in adding to the fame
| of the American horse and in drawing a larger
| nubc to his annual festival 1t Is peculiar
| thing however that the trotter and the thor
| ouphbred to whose achievements the Horse
show owes so much, should be among the worst
| ranresented of all the classes shown at ehe
| Garden.
