New Tork, April 5. Overtures are
being made to the Ringling Brothers
to purchase Madtison Square Garden.
Should the deal be consummated the
greatest ani most famous sporting
arena in this country will be preserved
to New York.
Although matters have not pro
gressed beyond a tentative stage, they
were discussed last night with enthu
siasm by a few captains of the real
estate market, who shared in the se
cret. The price asked is $3,250,000. This is
$200,000 less than the amount at which
it was offered to the city In 1907, when
the site was suggested for the proposed
new court house. There has. never
been a time since the Garden was
opened on Juno 16, 1890, that the stock
holders have received a. dividend on
their investment.
Alfred T. Ringling said: "It would
be premature to discuss the matter at
tihis time. We have not purchased
Madison Square Garden, nor has any
definite decision been reached-. It is
true that overtures have been made,
but they have not corae from the
stockholders. I must decline to affirm
or deny the reports heard in real es
tate circles further than to state that
no contract has been entered) into."
The plane for alterations include
building three or more stories on the
Madison avenue frontage, which would
he devoted to business purposes.
Another suggestion i to provide for
a big auditorium by combining' the
Garden theatre and the concert hall.
This plan provides for a movable par
tition which would separate the thea
tre and concert hall when occasion re
quired. Although, the Ringling Bros, regard
the project primarily as a business
proposition, sentiment plays a promi
nent part in their attitude toward the
overtures. Not so many years ago the
famous brother showmen set their eyes
on Madison Square Garden as a goal
post to their ambitions. Barnum &
Bailey enjoyed the exclusive privilege
of exhibiting- thUr circus in the Gar
den. Other proprietors, and' notably
the Ringilings. sought admission, but
were barred by the Barnum & Bailey
contract. The Ringlings were deter
mined to accomplish their ambition,
and to that endi purchased the Barnum
& Bailey property and with R the ex
clusive right to "come to New Tork
town" once a year and show in the
Garden.
Madison Square Garden under their
ownership would serve as a monument
to American youth of what energy and
integrity can accomplish. It would
mean that their first "mammoth pa
vilion", which consisted of an old rag
carpet Iborrowed from their mother s
kitchen and! stretched in the back
yard, had grown to a canopy inclos
ing the greatest ampitiheatre in this
country.
The Garden site covers thirty-two
city lots. It originally cost $1,000,000
and tne building $1,500,000. It Is known
that the Ringling Bros., should they
decide to purchase, will perpetuate the
ampirheatre as the home of the Horse
Show.
