J ARIsrocRATIC STABLEs.-A reporter Of
the New York Herald has been devoting
himself lately to the stables Of !" Upperten-
dom" in the Fifth avenue, and about that
neighborhood. He says:
Some of the private stables and coach
houses in New York are curiosities worthy
of notice. Nothalf the poor people in the
city are as well fed and cared for rs the
horses of our rich nabobs. On the Fifth
avenue, and adjacent streets, are stables
built of brick and freestone, with much ar
chitectural display, lighted with gas and
supplied with Croton water, with large and
roomy stalls, and in some cases. the lofts
overhead are occupied as sleeping rooms for
the family servants. A reporter recently
visited and inspected several of these stables.
In one, owned by wealthy banker, lately
foreign minister, he found about half a
dozen splendid coach and saddle horses, a
beautiful Shetland pony, and cow, besides
the groom and coachman, half dozen dogs,
and some Guinea pigs.
