Alfred G. Vanderbilt. as president OF the
Horse Show Association. to his Fellow
directors the judges and the American
and foreign army officers who are taking
part in the exhibition, which Will last
throughout the week.
II the attendance OF the public was
somewhat sparse and II many or the
boxes and seats were empty II was be-
cause OF the powerful rival attraction, the
Ysle-Princeton football match, at Prince
ton. n. j. New York society is extern
sively represented among the alumni and
undergraduates of these two universities.
and thus II was only natural that many
should have gone out 20 Princeton to
witness the game, feeling that they had
the entire coming week in which TO visit
the horse show.
Considering the football game, the at
tendance at the Garden yesterday after
noon and evening was fair. As usual, the
military element, American and foreign
contributed a picturesque feature 10 the
scene, with Its varied uniforms, which
proved a source OF much interest TO the
crowd, placing the mere civilian riders at
q disadvantage In popular estimation.
Another feature Of interest to the pub
lie was box No. 10, occupied, as In past
years. by Alfred q. Vanderbilt, who
thus perennislly displays his disregard
Of the superstition in connection with that
fateful number. Whereas last autumn

done for him by his sister-in-law, Mrs.
Reginald Vanderbilt, yesterday she and
