MEAT COLD STORAGE.

The reporter was passing along
Court street today when he was call
ed into The Kentucky meat market
opposite the court house and shown a
cold storage vault recently added to
its equipment. 1t is double decked
and of sufficient capacity to hold a
beef at a time. Its internal arrange
ment is perfect and built under es-
peciaI directions for the purposes
which it serves. The reporter step
ped inside the vault and tor mo-
nent thought he had been transplant
ed 10 the polar regions. The meats
were stiff with cold and with the ex-
listing temperature would last forever
as fresh as the day they were slaught-
cred. Those desirous of choice, fresh
a1d well preserved stakes or ronsts
can do no better than to call at
the Kentucky meat market and leave

of unusual interest having many rare
beasts and specimens never before
exhibited in this country. Messrs.
Howe & Cushing having had a half
century of experience in their pro-
fession and the advantage OF unlimit-

afforded have enabled them to secure
attractions with which others cannot
