They each have beds for hundreds of horses, and the dining tables are a hundred times larger than those of the &#8216;fifth Avenue&#8221; and &#8220;Windsor&#8221; put together. The Horse Hotel, the largest one of all, is on Third Avenue, between Sixty-fifth and Sixty-ninth streets. It is one vast iron building, six hundred feet long and two hundred feet wide, and covered an entire block.  It is three stories high, with a basement, and two thousand horses belonging to the third Avenue Railroad Company reside there in a style of splendor and luxury unknown to horses who have never traveled from their native farms. There are waiting and reception rooms, nice quarters for horses who happen to have a cold or a headache; there is a fine hospital for those who are very sick; there is a house surgeon and shoemaker, to say nothing of a cobbler to put on new heels or otherwise repair their shoes; and there is a housekeeper and a whole army of waiters and chamber-maids; also, a chief cook, with a dozen assistants. Altogether, the hotel is unsurpassed for horse-luxury and elegance; and if the horse could tell what they think about it, doubtless there would be a mass meeting of the guests, with a vote of thanks to the manages, of at least a committee of three to wait on the housekeeper and the chief cook, with an appropriate set  of resolutions expressive of appreciation of their kindness and attention,&#8221; and full of words like &#8220;elegant apartment&#8217;s &#8220;choice viands,&#8221; &#8220;politeness,&#8221; &#8220;urbanity,&#8221; etc, etc.-Charles Barnard in St. Nicholas.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are several large horse residences in New York.
