EXPENSES. 25 



man's wages, if one is kept to do the driving, must be added 

 to the above amounts. Livery-stable keepers make no reduc- 

 tion if an owner's coachman does the work. The rate at 

 club stables is generally a trifle higher. 



AN EXAMPLE OF THE RATE OF CLUB CHARGE FOR HORSES. 



Full board, horses per week . . . . . . $8 oo 



" " ponies '< " . . . . . . 7 oo 



Rough board horses and ponies . . . . . 3 00 



Full board for ponies, owners to have own men care for them 5 00 

 Rooms for private grooms . . . . . . i 00 



Table board . . . . . . . .450 



From this it is evident that for one year and few horses it 

 is cheaper to keep them at a club or a public stable. But for 

 a longer time and three or more horses, it is more economical 

 as well as satisfactory to equip and maintain a private stable.
