New York, Nov. 6.-New York He
brews are preparing to entertain some
of the most distinguished of their
faith next week, when the conference
of American rabbis will hold it's yearly
convention here for the first time in
seventeen years.. The conference is the
official organii alton of the Reformed
Jewish congres atiol4s of the United
States and Canada.
This year the conference was post
poned until November so that the rab
bis may take part in the celebration
of the centcnaries of DR.. David Elm
born and DIR. Samuel Adler, two of
New York's earliest reformed rabbis.
who to large extent established the
church in this country half century
ago.
Among the vital questions to be
considered at the meeting is that of
intermarriage between Jew and Chris
tian. A decision of unusual Importance
to the reformed Jews is expected.
An attempt will be made to provide
more religious quarters for the Jewish
nottingham. Religious education among
Jewish children will also be discussed
A day will be devoted to visit to
Ellis Island One of the meetings of
the conference will be held on the East
Side in the auditorium of the Educa-
tional alliance, and another afternoon
will be set aside for visiting a number
of the large Jewish institutions of the
city.
Already Madison Square Garden has
been transformed into stable for
and the final touches are
being added today to the decorations of
modistes and milliners are in a con
dition popularity described as rushed
to DEATH" in order that they may com
plete milady's costume in time for the
opening parade of feminine beauty on
Monday night. For the horses, as an
attraction, haven't anything on" the
ladies, who have much on and are there
principally to ''show it off" Our old
college chump, Alfie Vanderbilt, is
president of the National Horse Show
association, which pulls off the affair,
and he also is very, very busy COM
pleting the preparations. Besides the
ladies and Allie, the exhibits will in
clude several British army officers in
gay uniforms, number of Pittsburg
millonaires and all varieties of horses
from little Shetland runabouts to big
touring and raft animals. College pro
fessors will do the judging of the
horses and drivers and the women will
judge each other.
Many of the new classes are devoted
to the heavy harness horses, from Per
cherons and Belgians to Clydesdales and
Shires. Ever since the last interna-
tional show in London exhibitors have
been busy buying up the foreign cham
pions, and this years exhibit of draft
horses in the Garden is expected not
only to surpass by far anything OF
the kind ever seen here. but also to
have an important influence in devel
oping and improving local breeds.
The Forest King cup, of the value
of $3.50, still remains the blue ribbon
of the show, and competition will be
keener than ever in this event, since
j. w. Hartman, having won it twice
with Nala, has to score only once
more to make the trophy his absolute
property. Mr.. Hartman also has two
out of necessary three wins to his
credit in the $500 English Hackney
Challenge cup. The Arrowhead I'M
Challenge cup, for race for fourth
hands from the Arrowhead Inn to Tho
Garden, is again on the program. and
as was the case last year. IS likely tc
prove one of tie mes exciting event;
