Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 58, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 March 1899 — Finest Riding School. [ARTICLE]

Finest Riding School.

The finest military riding school In existence is In Moscow. It Is 560 feet long, 146 feet broad and 41 feet high, and, saving only the Midland terminus In London, its roof is the largest in the world unsupported by pillars. It is lavishly ornamented, but In every respect save size it is quite eclipsed by the subterranean riding school in Welbeck Abbey. This wonderful apartment, If it can be called such, Is 385 feet long, about 130 feet wide, and Its glass roof is nine feet higher than that of the Moscow School.
