HAS CARVED 25o,ooo TURKEYS.
Record Of Charles Gallagher, of the
Astor House,

The head carver ut the Astor House,
Charles Gallagher, has disjointed and
sliced up more than q quarter of a
million turkeys At an average of 10
pounds each--and hotel turkeys are
usually much larger--Gallagher has
handled 100000 pounds OF turkey
meat during the 30 years he has been
welding the knife and fork for the
hotel This is at the rate OF 7S,7SS
pounds of meats~a year. He calculates
that he has carved 250 600 turkeys.
Gallagher does not believe that his
record can be beaten anywhere,
Charley does not in the least look
like the enemy of turkeys that his
record shows. He is an lrishman,
with keen blue eyes and gray mus
tache So adept has he become in
carving a cooked turkey that in busy
times he has cut, sliced and prepared
for serving 20 turkeys in so minutes,
In just 6 slashes OF the great knife he
uses the toughest turkey that was
ever raised In Rhode Island or any
where else is ready for the hotel table.
The head carver entered the service
of the hotel IS years ago but the first
two years of his service were devoted
to slicing the plebeian roast beef. etc,
but because of his experiences he was
promoted to head carver. with special
jurisdiction over turkey and other
fowl.-New York World.
