is well to remember that the mid
die should be ironed first; to iron
the edges first causes the middle to

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 30.-Madison
Square Garden, scene OF the last
Democratic National Convention, a
landmark since 1880, magic name
since 1873, will pass out of the pic
ture early in May. Wreckers then
will lay jack. adze and crowbar to
what is probably New York's most
widely known institution to make way
for the new 2S-story home Of the New
York Life Insurance Co.
The lowered arena, surmounted by
forlorn Diana drawing stringless bow
against the north wind, will be re-
duced to rubble in a few months.
Former Railroad Station.
Madison Square Garden, there have
been two buildings, was originally the
abandoned passenger station Of the
old Harlem Railroad. Harlem trains
from Albany in the late SOS were
towed there, down Fourth Avenue
from Forty-second street, because
Steam-power in the heart Of the city
was deemed unsafe.
Commodore Vanderbilt captured the
Harlem line and subordinated it to
his own Hudson River Railroad. The
Harlem Station was closed when he
opened Grand Central station farther
north.
T.. T. Barnunl, with a showman's
eye, saw the possibilities of the de-
serted trainshed. 1t covered 80 city
lots, the largest inclosure in Manhat-
tan, and he leased II for his circus.

Designed By White.
The trainshed was replaced by the
present structure in 1889. The new
building was designed by Stanford
White, who more than a decade later
was shot there by Harry K. Thaw.

prising j. Pierpont Morgan, d. o.
Mills and other leading spirits in the
Horse Show Association. It was for

June 16, 1890, with Edward Strauss
and his orchestra and two grand bal
