The Sherman House--Change of Pro- |
pr1et0F8.
The change in the proprietorship OF the |
Sherman House, which We foreshadowed
tome weeks since, has at last been consutama- I
ted. We hare hitherto rehained from pub |
fishing the details, at the request Of both par
Ties, and now announce it at their desire. |
The new p1oprietors DaVid A. Gage, Es1.,
late Ct the fremont, and G. G. Waite, Esq,
Of Ha,t5ord, Conr., will take possession to-
cay Gtonday). Mr, Waite is brother Of ".
B. Waite, Esq, cashier Of the Western M
rine and Fire Insurance Bank Of this city, and
is new-eon1r Z in Chicago. As to Mr. Gage,
Re is too well known to require word Of IN
trcduetion.
TIE lew hosts have negotiated large con
tracts for new and elegant furniture in, addi-
ton to the present splendid equipment, AID
have mapped out and soon Will have in pro-
gresF, u'ateaiI additions, alterations and in
p,o7emente, which will render the Sherman
in every respect home fer city board9rs IS
we'll as tie travelling public. With an eye to
Tie immenfc addition to the municipal p3pu-
lation which muEt ensue during the Fairs and
Pacific Railroad Convention in September,
they are making extra accommodations which
will prove amply sufficient for-the emer-
gency.
We besrcak for the Sherman, under its new
management, . continuatiod Of the patronage
it has 11rs far enjoyed, and wish the proptie-
tors sucet ssful future as "min. hosts" .
Well Done for a War Time.
Elsewhere we refer to the change Of propri-
etorkhips in the Sherman House. There is
something deserves to be said OF its late man
agement, Of whom TINT caa be written that
has scarcely parallel in hotel history. The
WEI came upon the Sherman House enterprise
In critical time, Fifteen months ago it Was
a4ked, who will dare to invest and risk the
required cum to furnish the immense estab
1istment and place it in operation ? It was an
undertaking that required nerve and purse,
AID it found bo.h in P B. Roberts, Esq, OF
Peoria, who came forward and put one hun
dred thousand dollars into the venture. The
Iouee WAS thus opened, and has been run in
the face of all the adversely Of war ers, q
time when hotels Of its grade all over the
country were eufferiEg and sinking. It has
BEEN complete success thus far, and no n
that the ho:e1 is well under way, shrewd bust.
ncss men buy out Mr. Roberts ut handsome
advance, seVtral prominent hotel men appear.
irg among the competitors for the bargain
| We speak Of the successful ones and present
| lessees elsewhere. We have only the purposs
in this reference to point to fact which
largely indicates the marvellous prosperity 0
our city q tact handsomely illustrated ia th'
history OF the new Sherman House. Their
| are few cities in the land Of which these sam
conditions could have produced like result
the past year. Probably there are few wht
could parallel Nr. Roberto skill, grit and sue
cese.
The irish Regiment.
Tie Irish regiment, to be known as tn
rish Legion, and to be under the command O
| T3-vv I,%1, r. Eat. +r~-
cess. Several companies are having consider
able success in recruiting their ranks, an
there is talk Of consolidating the Legion wit
Coils. McClevy's ard Snowhook's regiments
Fur the pr. sent, Notth's old National Au
phitheatre, On Monroe street, Will be occ,
lid as the rendezvous and quarters Of tt
regiment 1t has been properly fitted, an,
as We understand, will be occupied TO- day.
It is difiicult task to give anything like q
idea Of the condition Of the other Irish reg
nents now. Of those already in town, Il
fIeuns, as nearly as can be asce1tained, are
Col. Snowhook's 434; the Irish Legion, 229f
and McCleveJ'a Will probably foot up or
500 more, who, as intimated above, will pro-
/ ably be consolidated with the Legion. II
only companies reported full are those
Cap:s. F1yEn and O'1Iara; and probably til
!. Of Capt, Kelly. Recruiting officers are ont
