The entertainments at the several hotels
In Saturday were very elegant, COMFORTING
with the dignity of the city and the taste
and experience Of the landlords having
them in supervision They each and every
one had tables spread with countless luxu-
ries end rare delicacies. We will mention
them in their order.
MAXWELL HOUSE.
This MAGNIFICENT structure which IS an
ornament to any city, both externally and
internally. with its spacious halls, paflors,
/ and galleries. was thronged from morning
/ tin night with crowds who had gathered TO
partafe of the sumptuous repast spread be-
| fore them. The tables groaned with every
substantial. glittered with silver plate anu
were fragrant with the delicacies OF almost
| every cline. All the wines OF the vintage
filed to the brim silver and golden goblets
/ The luxuries were partaken OF with mgn
relish by those who attended, and mlrth
and good humor prevailed Near 20 per-
| sons besides the regular guests participated
/ in the Inequalities of the occasion. Inc
Maxwell is an honor to Nashville and kean
and his clerks are an honor to the Maxwell.
| TIE CITY HOTEL.
This old and time-honored institution,
/ under the management of Gen Battle,
1 fully indicated its ancient fame on Satur-
/ day. The old Inequalities were resumed
in genuine style. Great and mighty
/ memories cluster around this old landmark
/ of Nashville Grand issues by immortal
men have been discussed by her blazing
1 fires and on her airy verandahs. The scenes
/ there of Saturday, presided over by the
| venerable Battle himself, a type OF the
true 'shome-spun" gentleman, were calcu-
| lated to reawaken those old-time recoHec-
tons. The Mayor and City Council were
| there. and $50 guests sat down during the
day to the bounteously spread tables.
THE COMMERCIAL.
Everybody remembers the old Verandah
on Cedar street. In the progress OF events
it has become the Commercial Hotel, and
right well does it keep pace with the times.
| Underits present proprietorship has gained
pre-eminence as a frst-class house. 1t Is
known far and near, and SO well are its
tables provided, that almost every dinner
is a Christmas dinner.
STACEY HOUSE.
We believe that every man, woman and
child in and about Nashville knows W.
Matt. Brown, the proprietor of this hotel
He has had it in his charge for months
u
self to his guests and made himself highly
popular as in every other position he has
filed. His tables were laden with all the
luxuries and delcacies of the season, and
the egg nog was pronounced superb.
ST. CHARLES.
This hotel, in charge of MIR. Hamilton,
which is known far and near as place of
favorite resort, had an elegant table,
crowded with guests. This establishment
is undergoing thorough repairs, being re-
painted and reftted There will be a
verandah and gallery erected in front, and
various additions made. If j. Howard
Payne had ever stopped with Hamilton he
never would have sung ''there is no place
! like home"
LINCKS NEW HOTEL.
This is an improvement which affords
one of the principal attractions in the vi
| cinity of the Louisville Railroad Depot. 1t
is complete in all of its fixtures and com
partments Neatness, elegance, and good
taste are combined to an extraordinary de-
gree. The energetic proprietor, Mr.. Linck,
had dinner prepared that the most skiliful
Of the French connoisseurs might have en-
wed. Over seventy-fve persons partook
of the elegant repast.
PLANTERS HOUSE.
This hotel, Mr. Crutcher proprietor,
with its accommodating landlord and de-
ightful family, is rapidly increasing in
public favor. All days there are pleasant
days, and Christmas is no exception to the
others. Nashville has just cause to be
proud of her hotels and her landlords.
