HORSE DOCTORS IN DEMAND How the Disease Will Affect Local Traffic and Travel. Seven thousand horses in New York city pros- trated by the new epidemic that has been raging in the Canadas and Western New York may appear rather a sensational statement; but, after visiting all the principal stables in the city, I have not the slightest hesitation in stating Ihave underrated rather than exaggerated the appalling spread of the contagion, It is not confined to any particular class of horses, but all stables have been visited by the disease, from the squalid shed that shelters the costermonger's nag to the magnificent palace where the miilionnaire’s thoroughbreds recline at their ease, surrounded by all the tuxury that wealth can purchase. It is curious to trace the track of the pestilence from its first advent in Buffalo, Rochester and Niagara down to Albany and Troy, where it has been raging during the past week. Swiitly and surely it has followed the course of the Hudson, leaving its traces in the towns and hamlets that stud the banks of that noble river, and finally, with afiendish diligence, cast loose in the closely con- fined limits of this city a seed of disease that has within the past thirty-six hours brought forth abundant fruit. There has been no time to take any necessary precautions, as the contagious quaii- ties of the disease are so violent that within twenty- four hours from the time the first symptoms of sickness were noticed im one large stable in this city ONE THOUSAND horses under the same roof were similarly affected, The disease appears to have appeared first in this city in magnitude on Monday afternoon, although there were some few cases of earlier date. The veterinary surgeons yesterday had more work than they could attend to, and so rapid was the spread of the disease that in many instances, when they arrived at private stables to attend one sick horse they found the entire stable, including some eight or nine others, ready for treatment for the same affection. Although there are some dif- ferences of opinion as to the exact nature of the disease, it is conceded by all to be a species of in- fluenza, and the majority pronounce it to be CATARRHAL FRVER. Wandering round the city yesterday I met at least twenty or thirty private individuals of my personal acquaintance, each of whom had some fresh tale to tell of the manner in which the dis- ease had attacked his horses. “My dear fellow,” said one well-known banker, “1 never saw anything like it. Last night I was in my stable about nine o’clock and noticed nothing remarkable, with the exception of a slight cough which came from a brown horse I use for coupé work. I thought it was nothing more than the cold which all human beings as well as horses are apt to take at the change of weather. Early this morning my coachman came to me and said all the horses were coughing, and he was right, as when I got to the stable I found 3 EVERY HORSE Lown afflicted with a husky, dry cough, and that bay Hambletonian that [drive on the lane, for which i pac $4,000 last Fall, coughing fit to break his ack, It was the same story everywhere—horses that were to allintents and purposes in perfect health on Monday night were pel badly yes- terday morning. In the yard of one veter- inary surgeon I counted thirteen horses that had been brought to him for advice, and it did not re- quire more than a glance to recognize in the flow of tears from the eyes, and the dry, husky cough, the unmistakable iptoms of catarrhal fever. Yesterday morning the disease was merely visible in its | gg tl form, and, in many stables, the fore- po : charge persistently denied any symp- ms O THE EPIDEMIC among his charge, and insisted that the dry cough which re-echoed from stall to stall along the line of the stables was only the ordinary atfections exhi- bited in horses at this season of the year. Others, however, had more d sense, and in answer to my inquiries willingly took me through the stables, acknowledging that although as yet they had seen no flow of tears from the eyesnor discharge from the nostrils, there had been a great deal of coughing among the horses since Monday afternoon, and they were at aloss to account for it, unless it was a PREMONITARY SYMPTOM of what they called the Canadian epidemic. The foreman of one large horse railroad stable stated that he had seen noes, like it among horses of late; but in 1855 or 1864 they had a disease called typhoid pneumonia, which brought out a kind of greenish discharge from the nostrils of the dis- eased animal, and he believed that this was a mild form of the same malady. I paid a visit yesterday afternoon to a well known VETERINARY SURGEON in Thirteenth street and elicited the following in- formation :— HERALD CORRESPONDENT—Have you seen much of this disease among the horses ? VETERINARY SURGEON—I have had about thirty to thirty-tve cases to-day, nearly all in private stables. HERALD CORRESPONDENT—Do you think it a dan- gerous disease ? VETERINARY SURGEON—I do not if properly at- tended to, It appears to me to be simply a kind of catarrhal fever, that requires a mild form of treat- ment. HERALD CORRESPONDENT—What do you mean by amild treatment? VETERINARY SURGEON—I mean to strictly avoid the heroic treatment. Bleeding and nauseans phvaic bails are not alone unnecessary but danger- ous. It is also foolish to give a horse a drench in such a case, as his head has to be thrown back in an unnatural position, and it would probably cause a violent fit of coughing. I should confine my remedies to mild SALINE REMEDIES, such as chlorate Ad ym or muriate of ammonia, ‘Tar dissolved with fluid extract of belladonna ‘would ‘also have a soothing effect to the throat, and a strong liniment well rubbed into the throat would also be of material benefit. HERALD CORRESPONDENT—Would you make any alteration in their feed? ‘VRTERINARY SURGEON—Any horse in an advanced ‘age of the disease Will not want much feed, but in any case I would carefully avoid all dry diet. Let ail his feed be wetted and of rather @ laxative nature. «At the conclusion of my conversation with this gentleman, a groom put his head in the door, asking for the address of séme drug store, addin that he thought he should get akegof that mustard, as all his horses had it now. In the large horse railroad stables the horses are under varied treatment. Each veterinary surgeon has his own special form of treating this malady, as in many instances they disagree as to the true source of the disease. In some one or two stables HOMEOPATHY is practised, and again, in [inte se Stable they were injecting a solution of tar, alcohol id belladonna into the mouth, and also sppiying strong liniments to the throat, ‘Tar appeare: be @ favorite rem- and is administered in various forms, aa Wi the foreman at the stables of the Twenty-third street line of stages I found that the most populsr preventative and remedy in use with them was food, ufactured mr ioe Manhattan Feed Mill food, man iy ee Com . This food looks like a kind of meal, and hasasalty taste, The proprietors of the Twenty- third street, the Broadway and Fourteen’ street and the other stage lines have used it for their horses some time. The foreman of the Twenty-third street line stated that this fogd had taken the fret oremjum at the Queens County Agricultural fair, and that they had found it o1 incalculable value in all cases of cold and al- fection of the throat. They are giving it to their horses in their water twice a day, but it can also be given in their feed. It is sold in packages of pind ot s rain ae pound ane ia given at me Wo gills a day—one in the morning ani one at night, the . THE RESULTS ofthis disease will probably be felt by all the com- munity, as, judging from the present aspect of affairs, it is Very doubtful how long our street cars and stages will be running, or how soon we shall be reduced to an entire dependence upon shoe leather, A walk from Harlem to the Battery to business in the morning and return the same night may be conducive vo health, but the larger portion of the community will find it pretty hard work. Although none of the horse-car railroads have as vet taken off any of their cars, they will be forced todo so beiore long. The Twenty-third street line of stages made only SIX TRIPS Tree instead of seven, and to-day they will e forced to take off some of their stages. The Fourth avenue stage line will probably also have to do the same, and the Fiftn avenue stage line, al- though they persistently deny that there is any- thing the matter with their horses, are in no better condition .than their neighbors, The first day of the disease only brings out it mildest for such as the a cough, and that has not been deemed of suficient importance to send the animal to the hospital, The cough is, however, followed by a flow of tears from the sre and a heavy discharge of a greenish color from the nose, accompanied by a general Weakness and de- bility. It 1s then about THIRTY-SIX HOURS after the promontory. symptoms that the anunal 1s sent to the hospital for medical treatment. Yes- terday nearly ali the horses were only exhibiting the first symptoms, but to-day. there will probably be # more advanced ates ofthe discase to contend with, and the proprietors aud managers of the different lines of city travel will be forced to take the diseased.horses of the cars and stages, THK STREBT CAR HORSES, Yesterday morning 1 commenced business at noon with a visit to the President of the Third Avenue. Railroad, and after a pleasant conve! tion with that gentleman discovered that about twenty per cent of their horses had been coughing pretty badly since Monday afternoon, The cough had originated with only a few, but had spread considerably during the night. They were at a loss to understand the cause, as it was by far a greater percentage than were usually attacked with colds from the change of weather. They did not believe it to be the Kochester epidemic, as they had not observed any discharge from the nostrils; and, tn fact, they were rather puzzled with the symptoms, but did not expect any serious resulta, They had about two thousand horses in all, and at that time 400 were coughing. THE SECOND AVENUR Railroad stables were then visited, and, after a talk with one of the gentlemen connected with the management of the horses, I found that up to that time (half-past twelve P, M.) they had not noticed any symptoms ot the disease. The horses certainly had been coughing a good deal, but they attributed that to the season of the year, as about this time a horse generally sheds his coat and 1s very liable to catch cold, Ithen walked down to Fifty-ninth oe and, taking the Belt line of cars, rode down 0 the TRNTH AVENUE and Belt line stables. Here the oMicials were in- clined to be rather reticent on the subject of the disease, and stated that there was nothing the matter with their horses, Some of them were coughing a little, but there were no symptoms of a discharge of any kind, They, however, stated that they heard the disease had attacked the horses on the Twenty-third street stage line. I then walked over to the NINTH AVENUE horse car stables and received a courteous reception from the foreman, Mr. Walsh, who volunteered every information about the horses under his charge. Mr. Walsh stated that passing through the stables on Monday night he noticed a good deal of coughing and sneezing, and yesterday morning it was a creat deal worse. In fact, one horse coughed fit to break his back. They were not, however, off their feed, and up to that time (two P.M.) he had not noticed any discharge. He was satisfied, however, that it was the first symptoms of the dis- ease, as he knew it was all around the neighbor- hood. Mr. Walsh said he had been doctoring his horses, about fifty in number, by the homeopatiuc system, as he had given up allopothy some three years since, Walking across to the KIGHTH AVENUE stables [found the foreman in conversation with some other railroad officials, and they were discuss- ing the subject of the disease, Passing through the Eighth avenue stables I heard the dry cough on all sides, and the foreman told me that he thought about fifteen per cent oi the horses were allected. ‘They have about seven hundred horses in the stable, and of them nearly one hundred were coughing. The next objective point was the stables of the BROADWAY AND SEVENTH AVENUE line. There I found the disease in an advanced state. The officials in charge volunteered every information, and candidly stated that out of some eleven hundred horses it would be hard to find one that was not coughing. They had then (three P. M.) seven horses in the hospitai, with watery eyes and a greenish discharge from the nostrils. As I was standing in the stable my attention was called to one of the horses standing in a team that had just returned from a trip, that showed distinct and unmistakable symptoms of the disease. There was a whitish matter oozing out from the corner of its eyes, @ greenish discharge from the nostrils and the animal also appeai weak and suffering from general debility. That horse was immediately removed to the hospital. Walking across to the SIXTH AVENUR stables I found that there the disease had only ap- peared in a mild form. The Superintendent of the road took me through the stables and, walk- ing quietly between the lines of stalls, 1 could only now and then detect the dry cough which I had now become confident was the precursor gf the disease. At half-past three P.M. there wefe not more than forty of these horses coughing—about five per cent of the stable. A short ride Sbugnt lown to the FOURTH AVENUE horse railroad stables, and there I found the horses in a pretty bad way. The foreman told me that the coughing had commenced about Monday aiternoon, and they now had 400 out of 700 affected. None had as yet shown any symptoms of a dis- charge, but some of them were coughing ve: badly. He said they were applying strong Tink. ments to the throat and injecting in the mouth a solution of tar, alcohol and belladouna. He also added that the coughing was much worse in the morning, but that would probably be accounted for by the close state of the atmosphere at that time, before all the windows and doors were Me pda and a thorough current of ventila- tion let in, From inquiries made in other directions I heard that the horses of the cross-town lines were also esto and the greater part of them coughing THE STAGE LINES appeared to have suffered, comparatively speaking, even more than the horse cars, as in some in- stances the entire stable of horses is affected. A short walk on adway and a@ look at the horses in the stages told the tale without further investi- gation; but, being anxious to find the exact extent of the progress of the disease, I paid a visit to the stables of the TWENTY-THIRD STREET line of stages in Ninth avenue. The gentleman in charge there was candid in his statements, and guid that every horse in the stable, some five hundred in all, were affected. He noticed the coughing first Monday night, when some of the horses came in from the last trip. Yesterday morning it was very bad, and the discharge at the nostrils was also plainly discernible. In fact, the cough was so bad with some of the horses that they actually snorted blood. They were using Taylor’s compound food as a medicine, as they had Coe found it very efficacious in cases of cold and other incidental diseases of the horse. They were giving it in water twice aday. He also added that they had been obhged to take off one trip of the stages, and that to-day they would have to take off some stages. The horses of FOURTH AVENUE line of stages are also badly affected with the disease, and are all coughing badly. Several have the discharge at the nostrils. ‘These horses are being treated with a tar paste and ple at on the neck of a strong liniment. The oificial in charge of the stables of the FIFTH AVENUE STAGE LINE stated that there was nothing the matter with their horses, This, however, was denied by sev- eral other parties, and there is no doubt that they are in just as bad a fix as the others. Around Twenty-fourth street, Forty-fiith street and Forty-sixth street the horses are nearly all affected, and in one stable, where there are sixty horses at livery, every animal has the disease. In round numbers there were, at twelve o'clock last night, about seven thousand horses with the pre- monito symptoms and 500 in an advanced state of the disease. ‘The Disease in the State. SyRacuseE, Oct, 22, 1872. The horse disease, which, after raging with vio- lence in Canada, spread to Buffalo and Rochester, has reached Syracuse, and @ large number of horses, estimated at two hundred, are now affected by it. In Eastman’s stables, on Fayette street, twenty horses are sick. In Samuel Rooney’s livery stable nearly every horse is sick. The harses belonging to the Geddes and the East Genesee Street Railroad and large number of private horses are stricken down by the disease, Last week two horses attached to O’Brien’s advertising wagon, which came from Canada, died with the malady. O'Brien’s circus lost a large number of horses between Hamilton, Canada, and Rochester. The disease is chiefly con- fined to stables where a considerable number of horses are kept, although we hear of a large num- ber of tsolated cases. The epidemic seems to be in the atmosphere and is CATARRHAL 1m character, and affects the head and lungs. When the animal shows ‘one of iliness rest and protection from cold kets and 2 com- pit le stable seems to be rational treatment. brag mashes tegd to keep the syatem open, which ia also rational.

Others protest against this treatment. All seem to concur in the opinion that the sick horse siould have ABSOLUTE REST. A thorough cleansing of stables vy «leodorizing Is recommended b; The contagion has ali the characteristic an influenza, and, although it is not assuredly fatal, its prostrating effects are felt by the home long after the disease is upparently cured, Sometimes the horse is ruimed by it. The early symptoms of the disease are said to be a hacking cough, with general dulness and an indisposition to move, cold legs and ears, With a watery discharge from the nostrils. At first the nasal membrane is pale, but as the disease advances becomes highly colored, and the mucous discharge changes to a greenish or yel- low color and the pulse becomes more rapid. Aa oon as these aymptoms appear the anima! should be kept warm in the stable by blanketing, and warm bran mashes should be given. The disease is reported to be greatly on the increase in ROCHESTER, and there are few horses im the city not affected, The street railway companies have suspended operations, al! thetr horses being sick. The livery stables and the express companies have also sus- pended. There is hardly a horse to be seen in the Streets, and not a farmer's team in sight thereaoou Tl disease is spreading all round this section of the State, and the utmost consternation exists among farmers and horse owners. It is impossible to hire a livery horse in Syracuse to-day, and it is feared the atreet cars, express companies and hack owners will be compelled to suspend business in a day or two.

MARYLAND JOCKEY CLUB. SSE ee First Day of the Annual Meeting. BaLToMore, Oct, 22, 1872. Five thousand people, and among them the beauty and fashion of Baltimore, assembled at Pimlico’s to-day to fittingly inaugurate the annual meeting of the Maryland Jockey Club. The racing, as a whole, was not very brilliant, although some of the running was very fast, as, for instance, Tub- man ran a second heat in 4:43, and Hubbard won the Dixie Stakes, two miles, in 3:364%. The track was deep with dust, but it was in good order for speed, Four events were on the card, the first being a hurdle race of two miles over eight hur- dies, welter weights; the second the Dixie Stakes, a dash of two miles, for three-year-olds; the third the Pimlico Stakes, for all ages, mile heats, and the fourth a dash of three miles, for a purse. THE MURDLE Rack. ‘This event was for all ages, welter weights, two miles, over eight hurdles, for a purse of $500, of which amount $400 went to the winner and $100 to the second horse. For this event there were three entries, these being Joseph Donahue's chestnut gelding Tammany, by Lexington, dam Liz Mardis, 6 years old, carrying 151 lbs.; Joseph Donahue’s brown horse Bind Tom, by Star Davis, dam Mar- gravine, aged, 158 Ibs., and Coffin & Lawrence's bay horse Lochiel, by Bonnie Scotland, dam Bon- net, 4 years old, 148 lbs. The latter was a great favorite over Mr. Donahue's entries, aud he won the contest very easily. THE RACE. Tammany, with H. Gaffney on him, took the lead; Lochiel, with Midgely, second; Blind Tom, with Tully to guide him, third. Tammany was half @ length in front of Lochiel as they jumped the first hurdle, Blind Tom close up. Going around the upper turn Tammany led three lengths, but when they jamped the hur- dle beyond the quarter pole he was but two lengths in front. Tammany carried this advantage over the third, fourth and fifth hurdies, but when they came to the sixth Lochiel moved forward and took sides with him and they jumped that hurdie in magnificent style together. Blind Tom was out of the race; infact he had never been in it at the start. At the seventh hurdle, which was located a little beyond the half-mile pole, Lochiel was clear of Tammany and the contest was no longer in doubt. He opened a gap of three lengths around the lower turn and was five lengths in front at the eighth hurdle, which was on the homsestretch, one furlong from home. Lochiel cantered in a winner by afew lengths, making the two miles in 3:58%. Blind Tom was beaten 100 yards.

There were three entries for the event, comprising J. W. Wel- don's bay mare Flora Mclvor, by Lexington, dam Floride, aged; M. H. Santord's bay colt Monarchs! by Lexington, dam Mildred, four years old, and Jennings’ chestnut horse Defender, by John Mo gan, dam Cynconia, five years oid. Monarchist Was 80 great a favorite that very little betting was done. The few wagers laid was at one hundred to ten on Monarchist against the field. He gal- loped leisurely for two miles and then ran sharply the third, winning the race by 100 yards, Flora’ Mc- Ivor being 200 yards behind Defender. Time, 6:01%(. A greater farce than this never occurred on a race track, and shows glaringly the folly of giving more than one prize tor dash races, Had this contest been heats, both of the horses that followed Monarchist would have been distanced, or they would have had to do some running, — As it was, they were sure of the prizes no matter how far they were behind. Heywood rode Monarchist; McLaughlin, Defender, and Wilson, Flora Mctvor. SUMMARY.

The production of two of Mr. Boucicauit's pleces at Booth’s last evening was an event of considera- ble interest, esp lly in view of the facts that his one-act comedy “Kerry; or; Night’ and Morning’’ was seen by a New York audience for the first time and that Mrs. Boucicault appeared again after many years in her favorite character of Jessie Brown. This talented couple were of course the attractions of the evening, and each play was only what the Boucicaults made it. By a singular coin- cidence the hero as well as the heroine of the even- ing were servants, and the interest was made to depend entirely upon the acting of servants. “Kerry” is avery simple picture, without either plot or story. There is nothing in it except the re- turn of ahusband supposed to have been lost at Sea, and his reception by his servant, his sister and his wife. So little regard was paid to the details of this family piece that not even little children were provided for the occasion, and aside from Mr. Boucicault’s acting the rendering of the play was very tame. In any other hands than his it would have been a failure; but as he rendered the old servant Kerry it was a success in character acting seldom attained on the New York stage. Every movement was a study and the whole a picture leaving little to be desired. ‘The same thing cannot be said of Mrs. Boucicault'’s play of the evening. she, indeed, showed much of the power she exhibited in the plece at Wallack’s fifteen years ago, and rendered many of the most effective points in the character of Jessie Brown with force and effect. But “Jessie Brown” is not a piece which can be made wholly acceptable by a single character actor, The part of Nana Sahib is itself a character part requiring as much nicety and completeness of render- ing as Mr. Boucicault bestowed on his Kerry. At Wallack’s, when the piece was first produced, he acted the flerce Rajah himself, and it is no in- dignity to Mr. Wheelock, who took the part last po to say that he gave it with much greater finish and completeness. Outside of Mrs. Bouci- cault’s acting the success of the Sheil Barry's Corporal Cassidy. mere than the traditional soldier of the = atage, and life and animation to the play, which it sadly needed, in spite of the thrilling scenes it 1s intended to depict. With two artists doing their parts so weil it only needed something of the elabo- rateness which Mr. Boucicault gave to “Kerry” to have become one of the most successful pieces of the season. It was not materially “cut,” as it was rendered last night, but, preceded by the pretty comedietta, which we should be sorry to lose, it ran too far into the fe fa to be acceptable to most theatre-goers. To bring it within reasonable limits it will require trimming that must inevitably reduce it to the class of one-character plays, and this isa necessity to be deprecated in every leading theatre. The cur- tain did not fall till after eleven o'clock, an hour which is too late for comedy pieces, and it cannot be shortened without injury to the piece. THE SEORET SEVENTY. Meeting of the Committee on Elcetions— Conference With the Delegates from Assembly Districte—Lawrence for City Judge. A meeting of the Committee on Elections of the Committee of Seventy took place at the Everett House last evening, Joseph Choate presiding. A conference delegation was received from the Twentieth Assembly district, who presented the name of George N. Williams for Assemblyman, and two others for Alderman and Assistant Alderman, A delegation from the Tenth district proposed the name of Patterson for Assembly, and another delegation recommended a man named Werner for the same nomination, and both were said to have a food prospect for endorsement from Tammany frau. The Nineteenth Ward Council of Political Reform asked for consideration of the names of Dr. Kessler for Coroner from the Twentieth dis- trict. A man named Pooler was recommended for the nomination of Assemblyman. After all the delegations had retired an informal discussion took place, in which Dr. Kessler was strongly favored as the best nominee for Coroner. Aiterwards it was war argued that Mr. Abraham R, Lawrence should be asked to withdraw from the Mayoralty contest and to accept the can- didature, from the potent Seventy, of the City Judgeship. ‘This proposition created a sensation, and Mr. Jiexson Schultz pricked up his ears. The discussion was very warm, and something of solemn importance seemed foreshadowed, which, if it be evil, the Lord forefend! MEETING OF THE BAR ASSOCIATION. Ameeting of the Bar Association was held last evening at the Club House in East Twenty-seventh street, In the absence of the President, Mr. Wil, liam M. Evarts, Mr. Henry Nicoll asked that Mr. Edgar S. Van Winkle be called to the chair, which was done. Mr. Augustus R, McDonough acted as secretary. Mr. Nicoll read @ report in relation to a proposed change in the bylaws and other miuor matters, About two hundred gentlemen were resent, among whom were noticeable John icKeon, John £. Burrell, Edwin W. Stoughton, Jotun Slosson, F. F. Marbury, Augustus Smith, Henry Coudert and others. A number of names were presented on judiciary tickets by the Com- mittee on Conference ond Organization, but no decided action was taken by the meeting, and the report was laid on the table. The mecting then discharged the committee for having performed (as the maker of the resolution said) their duties in a wretched manner, and after an excited and con- fused debate the association adjourned to meet on the second Tussday in November.
