that on Tuesday night last, on the occasion
of the grand demonstration at Turner's OPP
era-House, Capt. Barker, proprietor of the
Phillips House, not including boarders, en-
tertained regular guests to the number of
three hundred. 1t may also be considered
whether Dayton is good market provider,
and whether hungry appetites are well ta-
ken care of when we state that for one meal
the Captain provided no less than seventy
one pounds of beef steaks, including
"ehicken flxens," "wheat bread and com
mon doins" to an unlimited extent. 1t sOds
