the National Horse Show in 1909 were
accustomed TO doing big things. Though
they lost their leader when the Germans
sank the J.usitania they kept on doing
big things for sport and charity right
through and ever since the great war.
and this year they are going to carry
through another bold, big enterprise by
shaking the dust of the dilapidated old
Madison Square Garden off the Horse
Show and moving it uptown to a brand
new setting in the fashionable residential
centre OF New York at cost approx
mating 100000. This is the estimate
given out yesterday by r. Lawrence

we have spent $40. 900 in remodelllng
and decorating the building for the pur-
poses OF the show" he said, but when
you sec it you will say we've got our
moneys worth. There isn't one impor-

II would fill q column of THE HERALD
TO tell OF all the notable things done to
perfect the new setting for the Horse
Show, and then il would have TO be seen
TO be appreciated. The interior decorat-
ing was intrusted to Charles Slayter,
who has beautified the old Garden each
year since 1915, and he has reproduced
to scale the Colonial mansion house of
George Washington at Mount Vernon,
which will be the tea room and restau-
rant of the Horse Show. close by the
ringside. With characteristic public
spirit the association has turned over
this restaurant without cost TO the
women representing the Society for I'm
proving the Condition of the Poor, and
through the generous cooperation of
number of the leading hotels, one OF
which each day win donate all the food
the women will be enabled TO give
their entire receipts 10 the needy and
deserving unemployed OF New York.
There is to be a first view of the set
ting and of some Of the horses this after
noon following the Horse Show break
fast to be given at the Biltmore by John
Nee. Bowman, at which the officers,
judges and many of the visiting ex-
hibitors will be present These invita-
ton breakfasts are really the curtain
raisers of the Horse Show, bringing to-
gether horse fanciers from all parts OF
the country, who seldom IL ever meet so
many OF their own kind as in the annual
reunions at the Biltmore.
Aside from the new location OF the
Horse Show the outstanding features
this year seem to be the presence of
the best harness horses and ponies
owned in England. and the six big stake
events which are to be decided in the
course of the week. More than once be-

reserve ribbon when Field Marshal took
the capital prize for the best harness
