Along with new ideas IN the arena,
new decorations on the walls and new
faces in the audience this years horse
show has brought sort of applause
new to the Madison Square Garden.
The noise made by last nights audience
In certain moments of Its enthusiasm
was unlike that heard at any previous
show in past decades The united ex-
pressions of the spectators formed a
sound familiar to persons who have at

ment Of the temperament aroused by a
baseball game-and the indoor polo
games have transplanted these peculiar
outbursts of feeling among onlookers to
the Madison Square Garden this week.

logical result of new ideas.
Three men watched last nights polo
chukkers with unusual interest They
were Seward Cary. who was a member
of the party with Mrs. George L. Dick
inson, L. Lawrence Smith and John r.
Townsend. Other followers of horse
shows were interested but that trio was
particularly so because each used once
to excel in that vigorous game on horse
back and they watched Earl w. Hopping
keenly.
They remembered Mr. Hopping as an
indoor polo player at Durlands They
watched him graduate to the Meadow
Brook Club and have followed his career
In polo from those days to the present
time. when he is one of the six selected
players who Will go to England for the
