HORSE HOTELS.
Stables IN which Transients Are ne
eeived ms Wen as Regular
Bonrders.

Scattered in various parts of the city
there are stables that might be called
horse hotels, in which transients are
taken, as wen as regular boarders; OF
boarding stables there are many, and
there are some stables in which stalls
are rented.
A truckman who rented a stall in a
stable would feed and care for his horse
himself, simply hiring quarters for the
animal Much oftener horses are board,
ed. A truekman having, say ten horses
OF more, would most likely keep a stable
of his own, as would any business con.
Germ running an equal number OF
horses. ARowner keeping less than ten
would be likely to board them.
At the boarding stables entire care is
taken of the whole outfit. The food is
provided and the horses are fed and
cleaned, and the harness is cleaned also
The driver has nothing to do with any
Of this work. When he drives into the
stable and steps down from the truck
the stablemen take charge. They un-
hook the horse and care for il aud the
harness, and they hook the horse up in
the morning. When the truckman
comes for his truck he finds it ready.
and he simply drives out and goes Oh
about his days work. There are thou
sands of horses employed in the city
that are regular boarders by the week
or month. The transients, horses that
are put up for a day, more or less, NAV
be city horses or horses from out OF
town. A horse disabled from any cause
would very probably be taken tempo.
rarily to the nearest stable receiving
transients. In case of the breakdown
of a vehicle the horses might be taken
to m of these stables pending repairs
to the vehicle. There are always more
or less people driving into New York
from neighboring cities or the SUI,
rounding country on one errand a-d an
other, Of business or pleasure, who put
up their horses here for a day, more OF
less. There are drivers coming in from
considerable distances with heavy loads
who do not want to wear their horses
out by driving back the same day; they
put them up here for the night. And So,
from n cause and another, there
might at any time be found, including
horses from the city and horses from
out of town, a considerable number o.
transient guests at the various horst
hotels.-N. Y. Sun.

Then the persuasive tongue Of the

painting in vivid colors the glories of
