This Afternoon.
The annual horse show, with the largest
list of entrants ever boosted in its his
tory. opens this afternoon in Madison
Square Garden. There have been many
horse shows. but this year the affair has
suddenly emerged from the cosmopolitan,
or even national, class and become an
event of really international importance.
For this is going TO be n real horse
show-the best ever, the most magnificent
the world has yet seen. For one thing.
the whole Garden has been transformed.
The arena itself has given the decorators
their cue, and from its floor of tanbark
they have built up a Roman amph!thea-
ire, complete in every detail. even to the
expanse of blue Italian sky" whose haze
shuts out the ugly iron Orders.
An onyx cornice has been built In front
Of the gallery. Another cornice OF onyx
supports a bronzed Roman rail in front OF
the balcony its columns heavy with
trophies. tablets and wreaths. In front OF
the arena boxes is n marble wall, sup
ported on marble COluIl1iS anu dIOilth
with more wreaths and tablets.
Spectacle To Be Elaborate.
Toward the east. the Fourth avenue
end. is an elaborate restoration painting OF
the ancient Appian Way. with temple In
the foreground, on the steps OF which

of the winning horses. The last artistic
touch I'm the arrangement OF the east end
is a painted representation Of the Cam
pagna, from out which the horses Will
emerge through silver gates. supported by
onyx columns. into the arena. Every
decoration Is wired for illumination
The spectacular effect OF the show Will

triumph OF the decorators. There are III
