out of a fund set apart for this pur-
pose. This fund is also drawn upon
for the purchase of the emperor's
Hungarian teams, of which he has
about ten, of horses for the dog carts
and ponies for the young princes.
Royal stables are maintained in
Wiesbaden, Hamburg, Kiel and other
points for the accommodation of the
Hohenzollern princes and princesses,
but only the establishment at Pots
dam and Berlin, are of particular gen
eral interest. The Berlin stable is
filled with coach horses, that at Pots
dam with saddle horses. The selec-
ton of remounts takes place in the
spring. The horses are brought to
Berlin for inspection by the emperor.
They are carefully broken to harness
and, if found available, are sent TO
the 'equine high school, where their
education is completed. They are
hitched to sulkies and training carts.
driven through the business streets
and made familiar with the beating
of drums, the firing of guns and rifles
and the shrill noise of trumpet and
fife. Particular attention is paid to
the proper training of the black
teams used by the emperor and
empress and the dog cart horses usu-
ally driven by his majesty himself.

general public was not at all ready to
place confidence in her ability, while
she now ranks very favorably with her
brethren of the medieval fraternity.
Even now, however, it caused more
than a ripple of excitement when it
was announced that royal princess
had come to America and matriculated
at woman's medical college in Chi
cago to study for a degree as doctor of
medicine. To-day Princess Duleep
Singh, with her large dogs, Siberian
hound and Great Dane, attracts much
attention while on her daily prone
made. Her love of dogs rivals her pas
sion for reading and study. While this
particularly charming young lady al
ways appears in the quietest of dress
upon the street, in the evening, at some
formal function, she is appareled in
rich and gay fabrics and colors woven
into flowing tissues. Her draperies are
held together by embroidered bands of
Indian gold work and at the left knee
is always knotted tasseled sash.
With her magnificent jewels, her APP
pearance is more than striking. This
daughter of the old king of Punjab
converses brilliantly. She belongs to
the highest caste among East Indian
royalties. The coppery tinge of her
skin accentuates the beauty Of her
perfect features and wonderful eyes.
India became forbidden land to her
father and his family when his power
was taken from him and they were
brought to England to reside. Here
the princess was born. The parents
are dead, but the two sons and three
daughters live at Hampton Court upon
large incomes granted by the English
crown. They travel all over the world,
but may never stop on East Indian soil.
The princess desires to perfect herself
in the study of medicine in order to be
able to practice among women of the
poorer classes. She wishes to receive
all her instruction from female profess

huntings. In all of the uniforms the
prevailing toneis the imperial blue, the
only exception being the groom of the
dog cart who wears brown with gold.
In the large yard is located a riding
court, used principally to give exercise
to the horses. The real riding hall is
on the first floor Of the building and
there the great court functions are
held. For the emperor's private use
two small halls have been built. But,
as has been said, the principal riding
school is at Potsdam, near the capital
city. This instit ution has undergone
but few changes since the days of Fred
erick the Great. The horses are here
trained according to the system in use
for the cavalry branch of the army.
The emperor's mounts are in charge of
Herr Plinzner and those Of the empress
are educated by Herr Eckardt. The
horses assigned to the empress need
special training, of course, as spirited
animals resent both the use of the side
saddle and the futtering of riding
skirts. Beside the horses belonging TO
members of the royal family the stable
at Pottsdam houses several hundred
others, for use by foreign guests. the
imperial suite and officials. Each horse
is exercised daily; in the summer time
in the open, in winter in the riding
schools attached to the stables.
The ventilation of the royal stables
at Berlin is as perfect as science can
make it; and the building itself is a
marvel Of modern iron construction.
BY simply touching a button a child
can open the entire glass roof of the
main stable hall and thus change the
air in the twink1ing of an eye. The
prevailing color is pure white and the
placed around the wall under the roof.
Every year a certain number of the
royal horses is sold to the public. Some
are disposed of because they are slight
ly "off color" others because they are
no longer needed or have developed
some petty vice. They are eagerly
sought after by wouldbe aristocrats
who are willing to pay high prices for
animals which have once been the en-
peror's, although his majesty may
never have laid his eyes upon them
after the first general inspection.
1t is somewhat surprising that EN-
peror William, who is by no means
narrow minded in things of this sort,
has not introduced n American strain
among his horses. The animals he has
are, of course, fine and of distinguished
ancestry, but experts in horse flesh
claim that in general appearance they
do not compare favorably with the
pure-bred Kentucky coach horses. It
is said that Prince Henry, during his
recent visit to the United States, was
impressed with some of the turnouts
he saw in New York and Chicago, and
it is barely possible that he may per-
suade his imperial brother to invest
heavily in American stock.

prevails in the harness rooms, which,
by the way, contain some notable spec
linens of artistic work. The harness
of the horse driven by the emperor in
his dog cart is dec GRATED with mount
ings of solid gold. Some of the hack
harness is plated with gold, but most
of it has quadruple silver plate. The
most valuable article in the collection
is harness for a saddle horse pre-
sented to Emperor William by the sui
tan of Turkey. A number of valuable
saddles, gifts to his majesty from the

Especial Berlin letter.

- MPEROR WILLIAM has reason
to be proud of his horses and
equipages. There are courts
which maintain larger number of
animals, but in point of quality the
German stables stand at the head.
The royal family of Prussia has,
from time immemorial, encouraged
the breeding of fine horses, and
rumor has it that the present ruler
is carrying his love for fine horsefesh
almost to excess.
The imperial stable at Berlin is a
marvel of architectural beauty and
cleverness of interior arrangement.
1t is located in the center of the city.
not far from the palace, and orna-
mented with pillars, columns and
sculptures of rare artistic merit. At
both ends of the magnificent front
are fountains-one representing Pro
metheus, straining every muscle to
defend himself against the eagle
which is attacking him; the other
Perseus and Andromeda, showing the
hero in his battle with the dragons
and back of him Andromeda with
Pegasus. Beautiful groups, picturing
the training of the horse for pur-
poses of war, lend added magnificence
to the rich gallery at the top of the
building.
The stable usually houses 400
horses, which are raised on the ROYAL
stud farms, located mostly in East
Prussia. The principal farms furnish
~ fresh animals annually, which are
selected by Count Wedel, imperial
master of horse; Maj. Plinzner, chief
of the Potsdam riding school, and
Herr Nestler, equerry to his majesty.
To this number of remounts are add.
ed seven coach horses and three sad
die horses for the emperor's private
use. Should more be needed, the
animals are bought in open market.
