great feature of the interior of thin building will be ihd
grand siloon, which is 56 by 51, the ornaments and details
of which are of the most splendid and yet chaste des'gn. On
the caA.side of th's beautiful apartment will be the stair
case, consisting of a single flight of steps—ttiuth in the
style of those in the great Palaces at Rome, Naple, Pl -
renc-, &c. The staircase will lead to the great corridor,
into which open the various apartments, conssting of a
drawing room, 120 by 26 ; a reading room, 00 by 25 ; a
committee room, 21 by 21 ; a smaller drawing room, 40 by
20 ; and a card worn, 40 by 20. The second floor con-
tains a large billiard room, and the greater portion of the
rem tinder is appropriated to twenty other rooms, proposed
to be let out as chambers in sets of two or three rooms each,
with servants' roams, and a separato range of offices ex-
clusively appropriated to the use of the tenants. These
apartments are entirely separate from the rooms used by
the Club, and are approached by a separate staircase, the
entrance to which is in a smaller building, which will har- .
monize with the larger structure, and is situate between
the Travellers and the Club House. The offices are
most conveniently arranged, and when completed the
whole building will do crcdct to the taste and genius or
the architect.

The Committee have taken Gwyder House, at White-
h ill, for two 3 ears and a half, to which place the Club is
no-iv removed, and it is expected that at the expiration of
that term the new Club-house will be ready for She recep-
tion of its members.
