THE EPIHIPPIC ENDING.
Horses Recovering from the Rayages Of the
HippOrhinorrhea and Returning to
4 Their Daily and Nightly Toll.
Bcrgh Proclaims Sabbath for the Poor
Beasts Febrequobronchiatis In
Brooklyn and Other Cities.

Yesterday the prevalence OF the hippOrhinorrhea
was much less conspicuous than at any other time
since its ravages began, and the perfect and
speedy recovery OF Of the horses In the city Is
now assured fact. There is certainly large
number who have been 30 abused by being COM
PEELED to labor while they were sick that their
death is inevitable, but their rapid demise for the
last few days has quickly lessened 1t, while the
majority Of the animals are fast getting better.
This is proven by the appearance OF Broadway at
midday yesterday when
THE GREAT TIDE OF BUSINESS AND PLEASURE
rolled as 1t wont to do before this dire vista
tiOn, and was almost as strong and majestic. The
stages were running In nearly their usual num-
ber. The Twenty-thrd street line had ffty-four In
use, the Fourth avenue line had forty, the Four
tcenh street line had twentyseven, the Madison
avenue line had ffty-sx. and the Fifth avenue line
had thirty-seven. The trucks and carts and car
riages crowded the pavement from curb to curb,
and it was almost as difficult to cross the roar
ing stream and the services Of o policeman were
as necessary as ever. The sun shone on fair
women and brave men who walked the pavement,
but with their beating feet and the deafenng roar
of vehicles and clashing ho0fs sounded like rush.

The impulse created by
THE DELAY OF COMMERCE
already occasioned by the disability Of the dray
horses is overwhelmingly powerful, and all other
considerations will subordinate to 1t for the next
few weeks to come until the arrearages Of labor are
satisfied The mighty now OF mercantile busi-
ness Will crowd the streets until the
fruits of the lost labor OF the Of epizooty
regained and the wheels of the city run in the old
grooves But as yet this cannot be SO soon ex-
pected Yesterday the prices OF transportati on

horses available to fulfil even the common daily re-

THE STREET CAR AND STAGE HORSES.
The street lines yesterday showed signs OF the
Improvement OF their stock in the increased num-
ber OF cars that were running. Still, however,
some OF the horses that were In use were very
palpably suffering from the disease, and some IN
really pitiabe form. These latter had the febre-
quObrOnchiatis In Its worst phase, and the object Of
their owners seemed to be, knowing that their
death was inevitable, to make them earn as much
money as was possible before they finally should
disgusting cases in this city become rarer and this
is one Of the most reliable evidences OF the ending
OF the disease, since no new victims attain this
dangerous stage.
THE MEANS OF TRAVEL.
On the Third Avenue, yesterday, there were 90
cars drawn by double teams. The Grand Central
Depot Line was using all the cars 1t ordinarily en-
ploys, were the Fourth Avenue and the Sixth
Avenue lines On Broadway and Seventh avenue
they were running 70 cars.
