which is losing ground year by year in
this material age.
Probably there is no room in our
Twentieth Century civilization for
carol-singing after the old way. But
carol-singing on large scale is adj
mirable-as many American cities
abundantly proved in 1924. 1t was
made community service. Many
singers were enlisted and trained.
Carols were sung in hospitals, orphan
ages and other institutions. The mes
sage of home was carried to the travel
er in hotels and railroad stations.
Mass-singing in municipal auditoriums
was received with popular acclaim.
This community service was strangely
reminiscent Of the old-time Waits
street musicians who were an estab-
lished institution of English cities,
wearing waits badges" with the
town arms.
The singing of carols is much older
than Christmas, just as the midwinter
festival of good cheer long antedates
the celebration of Christmas as the
anniversary of the birth of Christ. The
pagan Britons celebrated this midwin-
ter festival; SO did the Romans and
many European peoples. 1t was not
until the Fourth Century that this fes-
tival became identified with the church
festival Of Observation-Disclosures
Have you discovered that it's very
easy indeed to dance to some of the
Christmas Carols? Well. it is. And
that's because "Carol' was originally
term for a dance-or for songs in
terrningled with dancing. 1t was a
long time before. the word came to
be applied strictly to religious
Christians song.
Primitive man makes merry, you
know, in song and dance and bolster
GUS play. 1t is not hard to see in the
Christmas of modern times plain evil
dence of the pagan origin of mid
winter festivities. The "Yule Log

Lithuanians and Let's. whose Christ

ed through the tower of Madison
Square Garden today as a wrecking
crew began the final assault upon
the historic edifice that has been a
New York landmark for thirty-five
years.
Pine scaffolds reached up to bring
down Diana, undraped deity, by st.
Gaudens, which tops the Moorish
tower designed by Stanford White.
The latter's apartments and stu
dio, which figured so Enthusiastically in
the famous trial of Harry X. Thaw
for Whites murder, nineteen years
ago, were the first to be demolished.
Nothing remained of them when
the workmen broke the rusted locks
save walls and dust and a few
massive pillars.
A step lower down, where the
roof garden, Gcene OF the sensational
murder, stretched from the towers
base to Madison Ave, nothing re-
mains but the ornate steel cage OF
what was once an elevator shaft to
remind one of the days of the fin
de steele and later when the smart
est Of New York society and the
fastest Of the sporting crowd came
to wine and dine at the Garden.
Vacated Sunday
The vast auditorium Of the struc-
ture, vacated Sunday by the circus,
has not been touched. Attempts are
being made to organize an all-star
performance of theatrical folks and
celebrities before it goes.
Mention of this now better
known part Of the Garden brings one
inevitably to Tex Richard. For the
past five years Richard, who has
started work on a new and greater
garden farther uptown, has been les
see of the entire building.
Seated in his office high in the
tower, Tex told today about the lat
ter stages Of the Gardens history.
lou Cdn get SOlll6 lued, Sdlu the
promoter, 'of what this place has
meant to New York City and the
Government, when 1 tell you l have

rent and taxes on it during the past

THE amusement tax paid to the
Government in that time has been
more than 50, 500, 900. Not counting
amusements, every time 1 turn the
key in the door in the morning, it
costs me about 81 900.
o. We've had every presidential
candidate and every celebrity OF the
athletic world that ever came to
New York.
Tex claims that since 1920, when
he took ove the Garden and started
bouts, conventions, swimming,
%circuses, all ann Of shows"
from the rodeo and the dog show
to needlework eXhibitions-with
some ten million persons passing
through the turn-stiles-there has
not been a single serious accident.

Ghosts About Garden
But there are ghosts about the
Garden that antedate Richard by
many a year. The present structure
was completed in 1890. Before that,
there was Gilmore's Garden. on the
same site, which was nothing more
nor less than a converted train shed
of the old New York and Harlem
Railroad. p. Il. Barnum gave his
Greatest Show on Earth in Gil
