Horse Meat.
The item in last week’s Herald in 1
relation to the disposal of common
range horses to the packing houses
caused considerable favorable comment
among both horse and cattlemen, and
The Herald’s advocacy of this means
of getting rid of a surplus of undesir
able horses was generally endorsed. It
seems that this question is being .agi
tated in the east in away that is bound
to bring the matter prominently before
the public.
The following, from a recent issue of
the Laramie Boomerang, shows that
horse meat will soon he one of our
staple food products. And why not?
it has long been known that horse flesh
■ was healthy, and, as the animal is the
cleanest of the brute creation, it is only
a question of time until it comes into
popular use as food for the human
family. Says the Boomerang:
Harry Shanton, the crack horseman,
who rode for several years for Buffalo
Bill, and whose home is regarded as at
Laramie, sends tho following particu
lars of a horse meat dinner given by Dr.
Hopkins, formerly of Wyoming, to some
special guests at Newark, New Jersey.
The following account of the dinner is
taken from a Newark paper :
Dr. J. D. Hopkins, of 32 Franklin
street, gave a dinner of horse meat to
nearly a hundred prominent Newarkers
last night. The dinner began at 6:30
o’clock, and from that time until 9:30
there was a constant stream of invited
guests in and out.
With one or two exceptions, all par
took of the horse meat, which was pre
pared in every form known to the chef,
William Wright, of Davis’. Wright
had never cooked nor eaten horse flesh
until yesterday, when he did both. This
is the menu he prepared :
Bouillon
Chovaux a Mock Turtle
Roast
Ribs a I'Anglais
Tonderlon-eu-mur-v iando
broiled Sirloin Drolled Steaks
Fried Tenderloin, broaded— Parsley Sauce
Mashed Potatoes Rolled Potatoes
Stewed Tomatoes
Salad Celery Pickles Potato Salad
The supper was served in the dining
room, and twelve were seated at the
table each time. Tho guests were wel
comed by Dr. Richards S. Hopkins, and
Dr. James Hopkins stood at the head
of the table and explained why horse
flesh is as wholesome as any other meat.
Some of the guests were loath to eat,
but at the first taste of the soup all
feeling of qualmishness vanished, and,
with one or two exceptions, all ate
heartily. One of these exceptions was
G. M. Marshall, who has had charge of
the horse for the past four years. He
refused to eat, not because of prejudice,
but because (he said) it would he like
eating an old friend.
The verdict of all was that the moat
and soup were excellent, and, notwith
standing the age of the horse, 26 years,
the meat was as tender as the average
piece of beef, and more tender than
some beef. It had a sweet taste, not
unlike venison.
Dr. Hopkins detailed the history of
the horse. He said that, as near as
could be learned, the horse was about
26 years old, and, as the owner was go
ing away, he did not want to sell it, for
fear it would fall into the hands of some
one who would treat the horse badly.
Dr. Hopkins took charge of tho aui
mal and had it killed in the regular style
by a butcher. It was first intended to
invite a few scientific men, but finally
a hundred invitations were issued to
doctors, veterinarians, merchants and
health officials. Ono of the guests said:
“I think horse meat is very healty, and
in time will he as common as any other
meat.”
Dr. Vanderroest, inspector of the
horse slaughter house, said: “With
horses as cheap as they are now, I be
lieve that very soon horse flesh will be
used as much as any other article of
food. There is a plan under way to es
tablish a retail horse market in Newark,
and I think it will he a success. One
has been started in New York city.”
“It Was Ever Thus.”
' Why does Barela suspicion some of
his compatriots of being traitors V lie
knows full well the character of the
crowd he has been training with.—
Alamosa Independent Journal.
“It was ever thus.” The man who is
the greatest traitor himself is always
the loudest in proclaiming others guilty
of his own perfidy.
