hall 1t is 81 feet by 30 feet and IS fert in hight
! lighted during the day time by large windows on
two sides, and by night by series of magnificent
chandeliers depending from the ceiling and nu-
merOus side lights. Zach table accommodates
eight guests. and all the tables in the TOOm will

their youthful capacities Altogether the building
