The Garden hosted the annual French Ball , both the Barnum and the Ringling Brothers circuses , orchestral performances , light operas and romantic comedies , and the 1924 Democratic National Convention , which nominated John W. Davis after 103 ballots , but it was never a financial success . It was torn down soon after , and the venue moved uptown .
