Bread Line for Horses Opens in New York
Five aged horses munch oats and alfalfa outside the Horse Aid Society on West 38th Street as cameras film the opening of New York's first bread line for underfed nags. The horses, bought by a wealthy society member for 70 dollars, will live in luxury for two days before a painless death. Wealthy donors tout feeding reforms amid rising feed costs and half-measures by vendors. The piece also notes Trinity Church seeks to upstage St Gaudens statue of Bishop Brooks with Bela Pratt sculpture, to be exhibited at the Society of Natural History lawn for about six months before possible relocation to Cambridge.
