Garden Loses Horse Show
For First Time i'm 81 Yrs.
National Classic To Be Held
in New Armory of
Squadron A

For the first time in thirty-seyen
years the National Horse Show will not
be held this year at Madison Square
Garden. The locale has been changed to
the new anmory Of Squadron A ut
Ninety third Street West, between Madi-
son and Park Avenues.
The change is rendered necessary by
the great growth in popularity of the
Horse Show, which has resulted in an
increased number of entries, and desir-
able because of interest taken by the
United States army in horses generally
and the Annual Horse Show, in par
ticular
In the new armory there are MANY
more stalls than could possibly be ar
ranged at the Garden total of six
hundred being available 1t is pointed
o'lt as an additional advantage that all
teams can be hitched under cover at the
armorT, even the fourth hands The
large classes of saddle horses also will
be accommodated inside, thus preventing
the crowding so frequent in past sea
sons.
So far as accommodations for the pub
lie are concerned, the committee points
out that the new quarters furnish su-
perior seating accommodation and far
larger. arena.

recalled with enthusiasm, and he was
assured that his sagacity and skill in
organization and his chivalrous good
feeling had won him the enduring af
lection and gratitude of the British
people
