Having eaten a good many excellent
meals AT the United States Hotel, II t-ouis-
Vile the writer of this sought an oppor-
tunity. on Friday, of passing through the
establishment. The result was gratifying.
The present proprietors of the hotel are
Nessrs. Burton and Stockton. Both Of them
are the right men in the right place-ur-
bane. high-toned, attentive, liberal, expe-
riepced. and energetic They possess, in
an exceeding degree, the spirit of accom-
mediation. They treat their guests not as
strangers. but as friends. To please them
is their pleasure. No effort On their part
is too great to be eheerfuly made. They
have. as Superintendents, Mr.. NJ. Pollard,
formerly of the Valley House. -Chillieothe,
Ohio. well known throughout the west IN
connection with the hotel business; and,
as Steward, Capt. S. w. Raplee, whose
qualifications for the position he fills can
not be surpassed.
H There are two eating apartments, a large
one for the guests generally, and smaller
and adjoining one for children and Their
nurses and such ladies and gentlemen as
may choose to eat with their children and
protepes. The table is all that the lovers
of good things can desire. 1t displays IN
abundance the substantial, the tasteful and
the luxurious. Every article of food is the
best of its kind. The cooking is capital and
the attention of servants unremittlng. The
walters seem to think that you do them a
kindness when you give them an order,
and they are always singularly brisk and
cheerful IN their obedience.
The hotel, with its change of proprietors,
has been thoroughly reftted and refur-
nished. The ladies' parlor, forty-six feet
by twenty, is superb in all its appointments,
and the gentlemen's parlor, though not so
large. is scarcely inferior TO it in other re-
spects. The reception room is a remarkably
pleasant one, to which nothing could well
be added. The mirrors are splendid. The
sleeping rooms, upwards Of one hundred IN
number, mostly eighteen feet by twenty,
are light, airy and commodious, newly
carpeted and having new beds, with de-
hghtful spring mattresses, and handsome
wardrobes. All the ladies rooms are sup
piled with fine rocking chairs
The bar-room, one of the largest in the
city. has Just been newly papered and
otherwise handsomely reftted, and only
liquors Of prime quality are sold from be-
hind the counter Fine lunches, com
mencing tomorrow, will be set out every
morning at 10 o'clock.
Most persons will be surprised to learn
the charges of Messrs. Burton & Stockton,
in these times of high hotel prices, are
but 81. 20 per day. The aim of the firm
is to keep a frst-class hotel for second or
third class prices, and all who stop with
them Will bear testimony that they are do
ing so. They have richly deserved the
success they have achieved, and they are
determined to deserve as richly an add
tional measure of success. That the hotel
lost at one time portion Of its prestige
was very far from being the fault Of any
one at present connected with it. 1t Is
much better now than ever.
