the horses are coughing, b4t beyond this x 1!
disease has not appeared. There is no prostra-
ton apparent, and as rule the animals feed
pretty readily: The foreman thinks that careful
treatment will check the progress Of the disease
among individuals, but dare not hope any horse
will escape infection.
At HowEs' LIVERY STABLE,
Nos. IT'S and TIT West Lake street, there are
that had exhibited symptoms Of the disorder,
and these we're only coughing. The disease tlrst
made its appearance here yesterday morning,
and prompt measures we're taken to arrest it.
This stable had not been disinfectel.
AT BRADY's STABLE,
No. 609 West Lake street, there are 27 stock
horses and 26 boarders. Mr.. Brady claimed ex-
emption from the disease yesterday, but in such
manner as to signify that lie would not for the
life Of him admit it even we're every horse aTait-
ing interment.
At BULKELTs LIVERY STABLE
there are l6 horses, none Of which are suffering,
according to the proprietor. It seems that Mr..
Brady'B reluctance to admit the presence Of dis
communicated itself to h1r. BulkeIy. The
former contends that some Of those in the lat
ters stable are sick. and rice uersa. There is
nothing like competition to extract truth h,-only
qualitative truth, however.
AT BARKER & BRENS1cK's LIgERY STABLE
there are so horses, none Of which are a'l1ng
yet. There are no symptoms, even, Of disease
here, according to the proprietor, but some OF
them hare colds: This accounts for Mr: Bar
kers belief that the disease proper is not in the
city. He may have been converted by ocular
arguments by this time.
AT Dw1aHr's srABLE,
Nos. 145 annd lat South sangamon street, there
are 60 horses, al Of which hare IS yet escaped
beautifully clean. The proprietor has thor
oughly didnfected with chloride Of lime and
carbolic acid. AL his horses are being put
through course OF injections into the nostri1s,

The barn is a model OF cleanliness and good
ventilation.
There are 80 horses at the li7ery-stable Of
EEUaAs opPESDonF,
attacked yesterday. No precautions have been
taken here in the way OF disinfecting. The pro-
prietor don't believe in the fatality Of the
disease anyway, and thinks that, with proper
treatment, there is no danger to be apprehended-
ROBERTS BROTHERS.
The livery stable in which the disease has
shown the greatest activity and infectousness is
that of Messrs. Roberts 4 Bro, on Madison
Avenue Livery Stables. Here are Its horses, Of
which nearly 100 are unfit for work. The pro-
p1ietora saw at once that nothing but prompt
action would avail, and, as the disease appeared
first on Monday, they closed their stables, and
concentrated their energies On doctoring the sick
horses. It spread among the poor beasts Like
wi1dfre, and now the stables resemble hospital
full Of 1ung-diseased patients. There ID per-
petual coughing and eneezing going on among
the poor creatures, but they do not appear to
have lost flesh They are situated under ground,
which is q disadvantage, but arc getting braVely
over their troubles. The proprietors secured
the services OF an English veterinarian, Dr.
James Whittle by name, who has met with sin
gular SUCCESSES in his treatment. He gives the
horzes warm mashes, and boiled oats, and a
compound about which he displays much eau
ton and an undue development Of the eecretive
| element. When asked By two reporters the IN

the Elusive information that 3 dark, resinous

| 1uctant horses was warm water. When called
upon to enunciate his sovereign remedy for
the public good, he smiled sardoncalIy, and said
! that it the reporters would be kind enough to

Further than this, however, he would not say.
The horses donot appear to be very sick. Indeed,
| to an Impractical eye, there is nothing to be
observed. One or two only are suffering
from the MUCOUS discharge, but the remainder
are doing finely. 'sAt the moment we found
them coughing" said Mr. Roberts, eve re-

the disease, but they will get over it in 3 very

ample should encourage others to Immediate
