there being no such LABEL entered, walked up few
steps, and found oursef in most magnificent saloon,
on an elegant white marble floor, bar-and
crowds Of men of business saunterng around the ee-
CANT stoves. From this apartment were shewn
into the parlors and dining rooms all of which are
elegantly furnished and the whole breadth ofthe
block from Pearl to Water street. From this point

We like to 90 into kitchens large scale, so we
went into the kitchen of the Pearl street House. and
must say far superior in its materials, COOKS,
maids boys, boot blacks, pans, kettles, and ALL TO the
famous Kitchen at Washington, into which was
once admitted when was in favor with Amos Ken

for hungry travellers-n Washington they cut up

goose called the 'people" There is comparison

street they are good looking honest in the face, anc
clean all over--n Washington they are rogush idle
and cheat and pilfer from the public crib much
they c.n.

the kitchen cabinet and culinary department of the
Pearl stree, House. Those merchants and men Of
business who have taste for such matters land who
have not y must satisfy themselves by trying the
dinner table Of that establishment. The doors will
be thrown wide open in few days, and the public
will be invited 10 look and be satisfied
