318 AT THE SIGN OF THE STOCK YARD INN 



sive to the traditions and inspirations of the SADDLE 

 AND SIRLOIN CLUB. 



The dominating feature of this place is a great 

 broad-breasted chimney-place of good red bricks. 

 Not one of those feeble imitations of the fine old 

 fire-places of our fathers so often seen in these 

 degenerate days, but a wide, deep, generous con- 

 struction with a capacity that tells of solid comfort 

 when old Boreas howls around outside and the big 

 back-log is wrapped in cheery flames. Furnishings 

 of solid oak stand upon a red-tiled floor. The walls 

 bear photographs of various celebrities. As might 

 be expected of a man who represents one of 

 Britain's favorite breeds, portraits of the late KING 

 EDWARD VII and his present majesty of England 

 whose interest in good breeding at Sandringham and 

 Windsor is a matter of pride with every man of 

 British antecedents occupy conspicuous positions. 

 Clydesdale champions at the Highland, the Royal, 

 Toronto or the International challenge your attention 

 on every hand. Back of the massive table upon 

 which the Secretary does his work photos of men 

 whose names stand high on the scroll of live-stock 

 fame keep watch and ward. Nearby is a treasured 

 replica of ROMANELLI'S heroic memorial bust of 

 Senator HARRIS.
