STRAY NEWS FROM
GOTHAM.


The fate of Madison Square Garden,
that famous exhibition ana amusement
place, is hanging in the balance just
now. For some time the stockholders
of the company which owns the prop
erty, have been agitating the PROPOSE
ton TO sell the property because they
found it Improbable. 1t is true that
during the autumn and winter months
the horse show, the dog show, the au-
tomobile show and other sporting or
commercial exhibitions made the Car
den a source of profit, but, after the
Circus season in the spring was closed.
the large building remained idle for
about four months or more.
The problem as to how TO make
Madison Square Garden profitable dur
ing the summer season was freely dis
cussed and numerous suggestions were
made which, however, were more or
less impracticable. Finally one one
of the stockholders. Impressed by the
fact that just now the country seems
to have gone crazy over moving pic
turc shows, suggested to transform
Madison Square into an enormous
Moving Picture House. 1t was decid-
ed To try the experiment and the large
was equipped with chairs
and tables and everything else ncccs-
sary. The house has seating accom-
for 5000 persons and, If the,
experiment succeeds, II Is probable
that the Garden party will be with
drawn from the market, at least for the
present.

Insuring valuable men in corpo-
