IN THE MORNING, At 6.30 o'clock this morning I saw a great number of horses—fully 100, I should say—eoming through Water Street in the neighborhood of the stables of the United States Trucking Corporation and going toward Gouverneur Street. In most cases there was no driver to be seen, but these animals went straight about their business, regardless. They didn't need any orders; they were bound for the river front where the wagons had been parked overnight. You should see each of them go straight to his own truck and wait there patiently for his driver. I saw one horse of a pair loaf a bit on his way and his mate come to a halt and wait for him. I saw two others meet in front of the hospital and rub noses as if to say, “Good morning, old pal!” ‘Then they went to work together.—James J. Burnes, No, 388 Hast 28d Street. HOUSE OF GOD.
