. There ARE many places in New York in
which horses are boarded But there is
only one so biz that it is called The Horse
Hotel" This H. the Residence Of "A great

and dining tables and more meals provided
than in the Windsor and brunswick com
bined. Upon entering. one II struck by the
great number Of horses that stan, about
fine doors. just like men stand about other
hotels. only TIN, horses seem better bred
They do not oglc and ma Ike odous remarks
On .pa-Sers-by. At this hotel are waiting
and reception rooms. bedrooms, kitchen,

'maids, chief cooks and walters. and what
other hotels do not have. namely. n hospi-
tai and shoemaker.
Upon entering the visitor is struck with
the pre-, aiiing ncatness and clea nlncss II
is also seen that the most perfect order pre-
walls. No sound of rioting IL ever heard
because this hotel has no bar-room It,
sin-ts are compelled to be prohibitionists
because they never get out alone and no
Kind friends send them mysterious packages
by express. This hotel employs ~ vast
number oil servants, and all who have seen
It's guests travelling down Broadway attest
70 the tine condition Of it, inmates. M
dust IL ever ON their coats and their shoes
thing about this hotel is that its chamber
maids are men.
In this hotel every sixteen horses have n
maid This II much better than other
hotels. for then the servants do not ret
overworked. these servants have nothing
else To do but tn feed. water and clean, and
in the morning comb out the guests front
snd barl, hair. The maids also have to
sweep out the rooms, of which there are 2
800 Tor the :, 200 horse guests. The store
room IL another wonderful place. Beru lls,.,
the guests are compelled to eat the same

=" the kitchen is Also very large and in it
men work all day preparing the meals by
cunning everything through great machines
When this is done the walters come and
carry 1t away. and at i:30 and II in the
morning and . ia the afternoon I he inmates
nave Their meals. The walters are very
civil and good, Tor the guests get all they
want Ia eat. These walters never hint fnr
tips.
1T ir also found that horses, lust like
human beings, have "A great many sickncsses
and ailments. Most Of the horses ,,.t corns
just like men and women. and when they
get hurt they suffer Just the same so the
'tH'''f-htstT'eu niand.'f bl TINS hotel has ~
hospital and keeps "a full corps nf dortors

r,ne can beprocured very quickly. because
the guests suffered so much from sore feet
and corns this kind manager sat M MANY
Nights until he invented a kind of bath and
tub with which to cure his good friends.

these horses are 81 much ON the rect iron
shoes are made for them, and in so doing "A
great deal of noise IL made by the thirty

playing AN anvil chorus. which Was louder
than any Of Mr.. Giimore's al toney Island
The crowd that WAS getting shoes at ths
time did not seem to like il AT all but they
could not help Themselves.
While the visitor il in this hotel he -anao,
but think how cool and good the air is
there. This il done by having a great
number Of pipes running along the ceilings,
IN which are numerous openings, \ little
engine in the cellar sends a great draft
Through these ppes, and ia this way all the
soul air Is carried out above the building.
Altogether these guests are very well
taken care of, and il they behave them
selves the ma. mayer said he would keep them
Tor the work they did until they bs.anl.
