best possible condition for immediate
use when required. Ia other buildings
adjacent are large and complete store
rooms filled with table ~dclicacics, pic.
kles, preserved fruits, canned goods,
barrels Of flour, and indeed everything
that may be ordered up by the careful
and attentive steward, Mr.. Nelson II.

rooms, which are admirably supplied
with al the requisites demanded, in.
GLIDING q patent steam drying appara-
tus by means Of which garments can
be thoroughly dried in a few minutes
without any regard being had to tho
weather outside the hotel
The Engine Room next attracts our
attention. We find here two vertical
boilers, by the means Of which hot
water is served wherever it may be
required, and the rooms well and
thoroughly heated TO the requisite
temperature. Mr.. Coleord, a practi.
cal engineer, has entire charge Of this
department
Tho billiard room now regarded as nj.
most indispensable in every large ho-
tel, contains three tables for the amuse-
mont Of such Of the gusts as may have
q prediction for this really attractive
amusement. Many ladies are especial
y fond Of this game, as it not only
yields them a vast fund Of amusement
but gives them sufficient physical exer.
else to preserve the health they are SO
anxious to retain. From the billiard
room we pass directly to the Uphols
terry Establishment, decidedly a new
feature in hotel life, which we find in
charge Of Mr. Truman Perkins, a very
competent workman from Manchester,
VT, who, with his assistants are now
| engaged In the manufacturing Of sofa
spring beds, for the use Of the hotel.
These beds arc far superior to those in
general use ut most hotels. In this de-
partment may also be found every facil
ity for the alteration or repairs of fur
n%iture, whenever circumstances may
require it. Everything about the room
shows neatness, order, method and sys,
ten.
The new Waters Hall, a building
but recently completed, deserves al
especial mention. 1t was put up ex.
pressly for the accommodation of the
servants attached TO the hotel, forty Of
whom are amply provided for Will
sleeping accommodations within its
walls, 1t is like all the adjacent build
ings, the very picture of noatncss
comfort and good taste.
There are several important features
connected with the st. James Hotel
which we cannot suffer to pass un
noticed, among which are The large
annunciator, Of Thos. Chalmers Sons
patent, now being put mp, which cos
lrom twelve 10 fifteen hundred dollars
by means OF which instant %communica
ton can be had with every room in th,
building.
The speaking Tubes, which connec.
with every department, enabling tb'

ocuted without loss of time,
The water closets, accessible by two
different covered entrances, are thoroly
clcansed and purified each and every
day
