The circus was so important to the Garden that for the [[1928 Stanley Cup Finals]], the Rangers were forced to play all their games on the road, but they still won the series. The circus performed as often as three times daily throughout the life of the third Garden, repeatedly knocking the Rangers out of the Garden at playoff time.<ref>Even at the fourth Garden, games would sometimes have to begin as late as 9:00 p.m. to accommodate the circus.</ref> The circus acrobatics included acts in the rings, on the high wire, and trapeze. One dramatic act which was only performed in the Garden, and never taken on the road with the traveling circus, involved Blinc Candlin, a [[Hudson, New York]] fireman, who rode his antique 1880s high-wheel bicycle on the high wire every season for over two decades beginning in the 1910s and running well through the 1930s. ====Dog show==== The Garden continued to host [[Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show|The Westminster Kennel Club's]] annual dog show. This championship is the second longest continuously running U.S. sporting event (behind only the [[Kentucky Derby]]).
