NEW YORK. April 13.--The inter-
national horse show at Olympia is to

of the royal box will resemble trel-
Used arbor with a parapet of real
Siciian marble. Ramblers and creep
ers are to embrace the trellis work,
and make the box q truly fitting place
for the reception OF the king and
queen. Palms, delicate foliage and
rich blossoms will adorn the arena.
The prize money amounts to SGT 500
