tho Fifth AEennc Hotel, ME. GrIssold saitl
he did not think that the bill would trouble the
! New York .hotel-propriotoEs. To tho question
| II le would permit coloEca mon to have such
ruomB IS thoy desired, he Faid llo did not allow
| tia present guests to dictato to him NJ to what
portion Of the houao thoy would occupy; they
woro assiGned such rooms as 10 saw htto Giyo
them. nnd If tloy wora not sntiF1od they wcre
that hia courso would DO tuch NJ would be for
tho best advantage Of tho house and for tho
comfort Of his patrons but II 4 colorou man
came lo would Eiyo him room. In answer 10
sit at tho general table, Mr. Griswold aaid that
there ,rds more than one dsning-ropm to Me hold,
that lle certainly would not rofuso to feed col
ored quest, md would sako him into such Of the
EoomH Us ho saw nt
At t!la Grand Central. u. L. Powers. tho lossec,

whether ho would ontcFtain coforod guests, lo
Hsid that 10 did not think he would DO either

were not prepared 10 commit themselves upon
tl,e subject; TINT thoy thought Il was 2 matter
which woufd regulate itHclt. and when tho time
came for action they would 10 better nble to say
what they would DO. At tho st. Deuis in rop!Y

loft for tho management to do but to oboy. Tho
