Thirty Second and Thirty-Third Street,
has reached the third of its seven sto-
ries, and is fast becoming an object Of
| interest to the crowds daily passing
its rising walls,
THE DIMENSIONS 81
The whole building is to be.of iron,
filed in with brick, and will be thro-
roughly fire proof 1t will cover an
area of A, GOO square feet, the front on
Fourth Avenue measuring 1927 feet,
and the two fronts on Thirty-Second
and Ihirty-Tllhird streets 205 feet re-
| spectively.
The architectural design of the struc-
ture is modern French Gothic, with u
mansaFd roof, in the upper part of
/ which VIII be an additional Story to
| those enumerated. The color is to be-
white, and the hight of the building at
| the highest parts Of the roof one hum
dred and nine feetan The main part of
| the structure, to the entablatuTe, is to
be ninety feet, and to this the roof will
add twelve feet at the sides, and eigh-
teen feet at the several centers on the
different streets.
The principal entrance on Fourth
Avenue, is 48 feet wide, and the portico
front two stories in height, is already
built, together with the outline of twen-
| ty-four stores, each 50 feet deep by II
wide, which are cOmprehended in the
first story. A wide staircase will lead
| from the vestibule to the upper stories.
The vestibule will have tall and mas
sive pillars, and beyond it viii be a hall
thirty feet wide, paved with marble
and containing double flights of stairs.
| Elevators will be constructed on each
side Of these. The interior courtyard,
which the building surrounds, meas
ures 81 feet by 1l6, and will afford light
to the inner rooms, which do not face
toward the street. The house has ad-
vanced sufficiently far to display this
design. In the center of the square
will be a fountain. The basement Is
fourteen feet below the level of the
street, and among other cOnvenienceS
located there, will be an engine for
heating the building, moving the ele-
vators, aiding in the laundry work and
driving the cooling fans that are to
play in various parts of the house. The
bathrooms will also be situated there.
The kitchen and laundry arrangements
will be conducted on the most imprOv-
ed hotel plans. Ventilating shafts will
run from the basement to the roof
The height of the first story is I93 feet,
the second IA feet inches, the third,
yet unfinished, is to be Is feet inches,
the fourth 124 feet, the fifth II, the sixth
IL feet inches, and tile seventh Z feet
II inches.
The laundry and kitchen are to be on
the first ffoGF, at the back of the build
ing, where stores cannot be construct
ed, and above these will be the dining
room, 90 feet by 80, hall for lectures
and concerts, the reading-roona and the
library. The sleeping-rooms will be
both single and double, the former be-
ing Is by Is feet, and the latter s by 8
eet,
THE COST OF BOARD.
The rent to each tenant will be here
after fixed, but it will not probably eX-
ceed one dollar per week. The food
will be furnished on the restaurant
plan, and will be charged simply at
original cost, with q small addition for
the expense of preparation, service,
rent, etc. InaSmuch as the establish
ment is calculated to hold fifteen hun
dred persons, the proportion of expense
on each dish will be far less than if n
small number We're participants. Cof-
fee or tea will not exceed two cents per
cup meat five cents a plate; vegeta-
| bles, one to two cents per dish and
other articles in proportion. Expert
| ence at the Woman's Hotel at 40 Eli
zabeth street, conducted at the same
plan, but where the numbers do not eX-
ceed two hundred and fifty inmates,
neratively furnished at eight cents;
and pudding at three cents. a resi-
dent can live well there, including
washing, for So so a week, and in Mr..
Stewards establishment the cost to
each inmate will probably not exceed
81 to So, according to the quantity of
food INDUCED in. ,..f ft..
THE OUTLAY.
The cost Of this building will reach
So, 600, 600, and the interest upon the
outlay will be chiefly compensated by
the rent of the tWenty-fOur stores. Ten
per cent. interest on the above sum
would be 100000. This, divided by
twenty-four, would give an average
rent of $12, 800 upon each store. The
completion of the structure in antici-
pated with great eagerness by many
women in this city, but another year
may pass before it becomes ready for
occupation.
THE RULES OF THE HOUSE.
It is welIunderstood that this enter
prise of Mr.. Stewart is intended for the
benefit of single women whose means
will not conveniently allow the pay
ment of the high charges for board now
eXacted in this city. The furniture and
general fitting up will be those of a first
class hotel. No restraint of any de-
scription will be laid upon the inmates
beyond an interdiction, usual in all ho-
tells, from entering the domestic depart
ments. Visitors, of both sexes, will be
allowed, and ingress and egress at all
hours will be permitted, as elsewhere.
Any applicants, with satisfactory refer
ences, will be received, but the room
rent will be required strictly in adj
vance. Food will be paid for when
/ consumed.
DRIVING a YOUNG, HoRsE.uThc
American Stock Journal says: In
teaching a youhg horse to drive we'll
| do not hurryuto sec how fast he can
| trot. Keep each pace clear and dis
| dinct from the other, thai is in walk
ing, make him walk and do not allow
| him TO trot. While trotting, be equal
| ly careful that he keeps steady at his
| pace, and do not allow him to slack
| into a walk. The reins while driving
| should be kept snug and when pushed
| to the top Of his speed keep him we'll
! in hand that he may learn to bear
| well upon the bit, so that when going
| at high rate of speed he can be held
| at his pace, but do not allow him to
pull too hard, for it is not only iuT-
| pleasant, bnt makes it often difficult
/ to manage htm.
