SOMETHING ABOUT THE STABLES AT OUTREMONT. 



A MODEL ESTABLISHMENT FOR HIGH CLASS HORSES AND CATTLE. 



A pleasant drive is that which leads out of the city by way of 

 Bleury street and along Park avenue towards Outremont. The road 

 is being rapidly perfected, it is a wide, high thorougfare and will 

 soon be a creditable entrance to or exit from our city. The pleasure 

 of riding along this road is heightened to exhiliration by the know- 

 ledge of the fact that one is being drawn by a noble animal, the prize 

 winner in a number of exhibitions, a pure blooded three-year-old 

 Percheron, an animal which by its proud step seems to declare tol 

 the world its faultless pedigree. On reaching the Exhibition Ground] 

 a turn is made to the left and immediately again to the right, and thej 

 traveller finds himself on the Mountain Park road. After proceed-j 

 ing a few hundred yards along this the new stables, called the -Harasi 

 National, are reached, and they are well worth a visit from the tra-j 

 veller or admirer of a fine horse, for he will see several there. The 

 building is set well back from the road, and has an extensive fore-| 

 ground or avenue leading from the public thoroughfare. On the first] 

 floor we find a number of stalls with the names of the occupants 

 painted over the doors on the outside. Very high sounding names
