RYSTAL PALA.OW—Eraire ret.organigation
V of the Refreshment Department.—Messrs.' SAWYER and
STRANG E, of the London, Fleet street, having taken this department.
feel it to be but due to the public and to themselves to state the ar-
rangements by which they hope to secure the patronage of all c'asses
of visitors to the Palace. In embarking upon this responsible under-
taking, they feel that their surest expectation of success rests on
their henceforth rendering the REFRESHMENT DEPARTMENT
a splendid and distinctive feature in 'he general attractions. Their
first act, which has the sanction of the directors, will be to throw
open a series of magnific nt saloons in those localities of the
Palace commanding the best views of the grounds, the fountains,
and the exqui.ite scenery of the surrounding country. It is
condd ntly hoped that every class of the community visiting the
Palace will find both their tastes and their purses consulted in the
refreshment arrangements ; fur while the cuisine will contain
everything that is recherche in the best English clubs, ample
accommodation will be afforded to thU large class who may
wish to study e •onomy, and at the same time seek comfort.
It will be the atm of the new proprietors to give the public
as many facilities for enjoying the p'easures of the table as they
could expect at the best houses of entertainment, either at the
West End or in the City. It is hoped that by a system of manage-
ment at once liberal and economic, the holders of season tickets and
families will be induced to avail themselves of the opportunities
about to be afforded of dining well and che'ply. The arraneements
for the general public must necessarily be of a very comprehensive
character, and while the proprietors undertake to satisfy the most
refined tastes, they will not neglect the more simple ones. By a
Judicious blending of the English with the foreign forms of the culi-
nary art they hope to make the department worthy of that world-
Wide patronage whh is bestowed on the Palace itsel . A novel
feature will consist in the construction of a suite of smoking rooms,
Which will be of easy access from the refreshment saloons. The
refreshments are now supplied by the new proprietors, hut imme-
diate notice will be given of the completion of the larger arrange
inents.
