table defies criticism, the appointments of the
house cover all that the most exacting can de-
sire, and there is throughout the whole estab-

in great hotels. We learn with pleasure that
the house is meeting with the success that it SO
richly deserves, and that, despite dull times
and trade, the business done is entirely sats-
factory to the propcietors, who are unremitting
in their care for the comfort and convenient CO

of the building, of which the hotel pIopretors
have lease. Mr.. DAILY has been heralded far
