the new building is fitted up in the most mpro-
we'd and tasteful style for bathing; either by the
shower bath, or submerging, with warm or cold
water, at any and all times. The regulations
of the bathing department will be found to con-
duce greatly to the convenience Of all. This
Hotel now ranks among the first in the Coun-
try.
improvements have also been going on at

thoroughly painted inside and out. 1t now
