Woodbury states that during the past winter he has been obliged to turn away as many as forty guests in one night because he had no place to put them. He thinks that now he is better equipped for the changed condition of the hotel business in the city. While there have been many changes in the interior ar- Tangement of the hotel, the office is still in the old place. ‘The news and cigar stand have been re~ moved from the office to the old smoking-room, ‘and the latter is now in the portion of the build- ing formerly occupied by the and cafe, These latter are in much larger and more elegant quar- ters in the new part of the building, fronting on the Avenue. ‘The floor Is of ornamental tiles, and the paneled ceiling, the wainscoting and the carved screen between the bur and the cafe are polished oak. It is the intention to make the cafe @ special feature, and a lunch counter for the ac- commodation of those who wish to take a hurrted bite has been introduced. The kitchen 1s also in the new part, adjoining the restaurant, and has been fitted up if the most ope Proved style. An elevator has been put in andthe rooms in the upper floors, all of which have been newly papered and refurnished, have ‘been in some cases arranged in suites, parlor, bed- room and bath-room, Tle main dining-room is on ‘the second floor, ee on the avenue, and, like the other parts or the hotel, has been newly furnished in the modern fusion. ‘There are_ also Private dining-rooms, separated by folding doors, and in this way can’ be made to accommodaté | large or smail dinner parties, There are, of course, electric bells, electric lights, and all the other adjuncts of a inodern first-class hotel. —— Tar Lars Lrevt.
