Berlin Horse-Meat Banquet

A REMARKABLE banquet was given in Berlin January 8, at which 600 persons partook of horse soup, pickled horse tongue, filet of horse, and roast horse. It was given by the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in order to demonstrate the value of horse meat, so to increase its sale and furnish a market for old horses that were well fed. Among the guests were prominent members of the Reichstag and city council. The society president, who is also a privy councilor, Von Seefeld, said that 30,000 were eaten in Berlin last year. We believe it is better than pork, but even then it is horrible.
