trouglis, with hasps and staples, as it will be necessary, 

 at times, to lock them up. Under them, in the sum-

 stables, or in any other more convenient place. 



No. 2. Ground plan of the stables. 



No. 3. Plan of the second floor, and dwelling 

 apartments. 



No. 4. A front view of a range of stables, made to 

 front the south. It consists of a centre building for 

 the grooms; house, forty -two feet by sixty-two, and 

 two extending wings, each twenty-four feet by one 

 hundred and forty-eight, divided into separate stables, 

 stalls, and boxes. This building is entered through an 

 archway in the centre (eleven feet wide) beneath which 

 are the door-ways leading right and left to the stables in 

 either wing, and also into the apartments of the 

 grooms' house, boys' hall, &c. &c. Over the stable?, 

 is the second story, divided into chambers and sitting 

 rooms (with closets to each), for the different training 

 grooms and head lads that may occasionally come to 

 reside at the establishment. The other small chambers 

 are for those boys who look after horses that may be 

 standing in the boxes. The galleries leaVling to these 

 several rooms are in width, four feet six, and are entered 

 by doors on the top of the stairs erected in the back 

 yard. Through the front yard, we pass into the back 

 yard. (See plan, No. 6.) The range of building- 

 forming this yard is one story high ; it is of the same 

 extent as the building in front of it. (See plan , No. O.J
