The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1908-11-07
By Glenn Guernsey.

New York, November mo longer
arises the incense of campaign "Ha-
vanas' and booze; no longer 40 news
paper bore us with yards of political
news; the spell-binder has lapsed into
silence; the shouters are haggard and
worn: and out of a medley of madness
a magical peace has been born.
And now that election is over and
the country again has been saved,
Though some are morose and dis
gruntled and some have won honors
they crayed). we shall rest-and, faith.
but We need it-be calm for another
four years, till the silver-tongued
spouters of tissues" shall we set us
spouters of issues" shall set us again
by the ear.
Over Manhattan this glad November
morning broods a peace that passes
understanding. Stuanch and trim, the
tight little island nestles snugly in the
arm of the Atlantic, headed south
sou'west. Down in the bay, where ma
iestic ships go ever to and fro, the
Statue of Liberty still rises, like
grim sentinel, watching, ever watch
ing, the billboard advertisement of
Ueata Biscuit that. rises majestically
from the opposite shore.
Tho .lo HID
son rolls ever onward to the sea, while
beyond the stately Palisades rear their
weather-scarred heads. Lofty piles of
brick and mortar pierce the ambient
atmosphere. Down in the streets hui
mainly swarms like insects in an ant
hill. In the miles and miles of six
room apartments with all modern con-
veniences, women in kimonas lean
from back windows and discuss the
newest scandals. The roar of traffic
of hurrying people going from some
where to somewhere else, beats on the
ear-drums in constant wave Of sound
The elevated trains and the surface
cars keep up a continual clangor.
And yet, and in spite of it all, there
is a prevailing peace and a wondrous
calm in this metropolis. The election
is over. The pavements no longer re-
sound to the tramp, tramp, tramp of
marching thousands, and the cheers
of the admirers of Taft or Bryan or
Debs no more awake the echoes. The
welkin, which has had a steady job
of ringing for the last six weeks, is
taking a needed rest. | repeat the
election is over. The country is saved,
God reigns and the government at 26
Broadway still lives.
The Horse Show.
Next week comes the horse show.
Madison Square Garden is today be-
ing transformed into a mammoth
stable, where the equine aristocrats of
the land will have their quarters dur
ing the six days beginning Monday. In
the tan-bark arena the thoroghbreds
will show their graces, while in the
boxes above the display of millinery
and modiste's creations will be seen.
The twenty-fourth National Horse
Show, like its predecessors, will mark
the opening of the metropolitan social
portant exhibition Of horseflesh in
America.
The coming show will be really in
ternational in extent since many for
eign horses now in this country will
be shown, and Canada will be repre-
scented by a large string. The number
Of classes has been reduced from 1872
TO 125, four competitions having. been
eliminated from the hackney division
and three from the class for trotters.
AS usual, the competition for the
FOrsest King Challenge Cup has pre-
voked the most interest. This trophy,
valued at $3.50 was donated by w. H.
Moore, and has taken the place form
erly occupied by the Waldorf Cup for
gig horses, which was won finally two
years ago by Forest King. ]. w. Har-
