interior OF the stables it may be

handsomely, both inside and out, SO that

THE ARCADE.
AS one passes out of the superintend-
ent's Office into the arcade, he sees at once
how convenient it is to exercise tho hor-
ses. This place, which was originally con-
strusted for an exercising ring, has not
been used this year, inasmuch as the roads
have been in excellent condition, SO that
the stock have been exercised right along
every day on the road. Blackwood, Jr.,
is given FIVE or six miles each day
on the road, and all are given
all they need. As soon "a the roads be-
come Objectionable the floor Of tho arcade
will be covered With tan bark and every
day the animals will be given such exercise
as ia deemed suitable.
