CECIITA - Lor ‘T — AY THE oA _ FLASHING JENEL DM THE UGH AT HORSE SHOW “Night of Nights” Eclipses All Previous Scenes of Regal Splendor at Garden. \\ RECORD THRONG THERE Arena a Riot of Color—Society Folk Fill Seats and Crowd Into the Aisles, Not in many years has such a crowd @ethered in Madison Square Garden to do honor to fashion and the horse as wae there last night. For years has ‘Thuraday night been the great show night of the week. This year society Gecreed that it showld oe Friday. It ‘was tike the old, off days of the Garden, when the horse was the thing, when the horse was the king—when the Horse Show was the most wonderful society event of the year, and people came from the ends of the earth to view the gor- Seous spectacie Tt was the night of nights of the Horse Bhow. At 9 o'clock the fa#h- fonably late had joined the early throng | which had begun pushing its way in| through the gates before & o'clock. | With few exceptions the boxes were fille€. Those which were not opened vistas of the fair eex they had for their setting. The splendor of ancient Rome which forms the background this year for the Horse Show was glimpsed by last night splay of youth and beauty and wealth. It is doubtful {f ever such feminine splendor dazzled old Rome. Certainly the rs, with all their re- puted riches, poi wed no such wealth ae was represented. Row upon row, in the arena seats, beautifully gowned women filled in the void behind the boxes. They looked like immense vines climbing an incline, and studded with flowers of varied hue, ‘The black and white of the men empha- sized the garden of color, Above them, the tier boxes overflowed with more color, There wes not @ vacant seat in the galleries. There didn’t appear to be nding room. What was open of the e very highest gallery, adjoining that re the band held court, was jammed ce fore. It was a crowd which brought out easy the best that was in horse and fan. Horses which balked at fences on nights before took the hurdles as natur- lly as their oats, And when a horse fvent clean over the round of barriers ‘and over the high jumps what @ roar of applause awept over the arenal A man ‘who wouldn’t risk his neck for « Uke thet was no hero, _—_—— | WALKS RIGHT IN, WALKS OUT AGAIN AND TAKES THE ‘SMOKES’ WITH HIM How William Cole Provided Himself With Havanas. A stalwart man with two clear boxes under his right arm met Policeman Smith of the Elizabeth street station at Baxter and Worth streets before daylight to-day. + it have you under your arm, stranger?” asked the policeman, “Nothing that ts business of yours,” aid the big man. “You do injustice to my tmagtnation and curiosity," said the policeman, tak- ing a stand fn front of him, “Again I ask what have you under your arm?” ‘Two boxes of cigars, which your foolish eyes should tell you without a waste of your breath,” replied Cole. “And aince you are no nosey T will tell you how I came by them, to your shame for stopping @ free citizen on the street. ‘There is war In Mexico, as you may nave heard. The President of that country desifes good soldiers and has sent for me, William Cole, because he has heard of my fighting In many lands. | A few of the boys have been holding a farewell dinner and these were tho| cigars left over. Until your rude atop- ping of me I was taling them to old friends of the Chatham Clud to re- member me by when I am gone to the war.” ‘ou can tell the Heutenant that at the station," sald Smith, who took him to the station, where came almost im- mediately George W. Glynn, clerk of the Schulte cigar store at No, 63 Park Row, telling how a man had walked into the @tore, picked up two boxes of cigare and walked out again, remarking “thank you" over his shoulder, Glynn could not leave the store empty to pur- sue, | But he recognised Cole as his visitor. ‘The police found that Cole had apent with humanity, The boardwalk re- sembled what the Appian Way must have looked like in the rush hour. BRILLIANT THRONG VER- FLOWS INTO THE AISLES. Men and women stood up against the wall behind the arena seats and In the Mlerles, Firemen were busy keeping them out of the aisles, ‘The electric lights in the Garden were brilliant. Thetr were dimmed by the wonderful scene they {lluminated, back by the myriads of lghted. Diamonds and emeralds autiful arms shapely ears and colffures, And the gowns were the wonder of the modiste’s rehitecture, the hats the most provok~ ‘ng, of miliiner’s moods. And both were the despair of the genius of description. Mra. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt and a number of other ladies wore no hats at all. They could afford to, for with their hair down low their shapely heads received the homage which was due aeven and a half years In Sing Sing and Clinton prisons, but found no record of his service in foreign wars. es WCREERYS IN ONE STORE. a4th loyees Kept. James MoCreery & Co, have closed their Sixth avenue store and removed the stock of dry goods and furnishings to their West Thirty-fourth street near Fifth avenue, In the latter store | the firm will hereafter do all its busi- ness in New York, of the firm will be displaced by the con- solidation. ‘Every one, from the cash boys to the highest price salesman, will find his place permanent in the newer and larger store,” said C. A, Gould, Vice-President of the corporation, to- day. The Thirty-fourth street store has been enlarged recently and much im- proved. veSort Of what color were the costs and the gowns?

Pour the wine when it's reddest, darets and durgundies—pale sherry and sparkling champagne, Throw the gold and aller of California's mines into the crucible of fashion, and you will get a ‘sion of the colorful aettings which society grouped mbout the arena last night. HORSES CATCH THE FEVER AND DO THEIR PRETTIEST. Besides being the greatest crowd of the week at the Horse Show, tt was an intensely human crowd, The people were enthusiastic over the performances of horses and drivers and riders.

This was dis- closed in the first act. The emotions she felt before, during and after the duel were all reflected in her face eo that none could fail to understand. But it was in .the great second act that the fulness of her art was revealed. In her talk with Telramund, in her duel with Elsa, and in the effort to frighten Elsa into refusing Lohengrin she was eupero. The Wegnerian audience was deaply atirred. There were shouts of Brava!

Margarete Matzenauer, contralto of he MetropoBtan Opera House, was the wolotst at the Symphony @oclety's con- cert, under the direction of Walter Damrosch, at Aeolian Hall yesterday afternoon. First ehe sang an arta from Halevy's “La Juive,” and later Ber- lioz's reverie, “Le Spectre de le rose.” At the beginning her voice seemed to |show the effects of trying to change it (she ts to sing Isolde with ‘the Boston Opera Company next week), but Jater it showed better quality, Mme, latzenauer's method is much improved. Bhe sang the Berlos number very well indeed.
