Barnum's Cookery.
About five hundred people are daily provided with three meals at Olympia— five hundred employees, that is to say, without taking into account the numerous visitors who daily lunch or dine in the great dining rooms, so as to l»e ready to go into the show. There are half a dozen French men cooks at Olympia for the cn 4 rees t and for fish and. vegetable cooking ; an Englishman does all the roasting at the immense gasoven, while the bread and cakes are
produced by Scotchmen confectioners, all on the premises. In fact, there is a perfect viliige under Olympia. Each class of cooks have their separate kitchen. There is a big room exclusively for roasting, grinding, and making (coffee. All the washing-up is done far away from the cooking kitchen. There is a inparat* plate-room where the knives and other utensils are stored, counted up, and cleaned. Two women spend their day in pealing the potatoes required, and three men never cease preparing sandwiches — each in their separate room. There is a carpenter's shop, {a cultery-worker's, a butcher's, and a forge.
