 pect, the substance of the walls, and the different 

 offices necessary to be attached to a private establish- 

 ment of this kind, — such as a house for the groom, a 

 hall for the boys, granaries for corn, barns for hay and 

 straw, saddle rooms, &c, &c. — a plan and description 

 of the whole of these may be taken from the arrange- 

 ment of the public training stables, but on a reduced 

 scale.
