GARDEN'S GOING DOWN BENEATH WORKMAN'S AX Madison Square, Cradle ot Traditions, Being Razed For Progress. Ft u United Press NEW YORK, May B.—Chunk of crowbar and pick into plaster, ring of hammer and whine of saw sounded 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. Oaudens, which tops the Moorish tower designed by Stanford White. The latter’s apartments and studio, which figured so fantastically in the famous trial of Harry K. Thaw for White’s 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, scene of the sensational murder, stretched from the tower’s base to Madison Ave., nothing remains but the ornate steel cage of what was once an elevator shaft to remind one of the days of the fin de siecle and later when the smartest 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 tlie structure, 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 Rickard. For the past five years Rickard, who has started work on anew and greater garden farther uptown, has been lessee of the entire building. Seated in his office high in the tower, Tex told today about the latter stages of the Garden's history. “You can get some Idea," said the promoter, “of what this place has meant to New York City and the Government, when I tell you I have paid a million and a half dollars in rent and taxes on it during the past five years. “The amusement tax paid to the Government in that time has been more than $2,600,000. Not counting amusements, every time I turn the key in the door in the morning, it costs me about SI,OOO. “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 lie took over the Garden and started bouts, conventions, swimming, circuses, all manner 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. “In all that time —only one man

reported having his pocket picked,’’ Rickard said with a grin. Ghosts About Garden Rut there are ghosts about the Garden that antedate Rickard 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. T. Barnum gave Ills "Greatest Show on Earth" in Gilmore’s garden for manay years. In the new Garden in the ’9o’s the feature was the annual horse show. The luncheon in the big room on the southwest corner the Sunday before the horse show opened was the most spectacular social event of the year.
