A New, Elegant, and Refined Pri-
Vate Hotel.
A Family Institution Long Need
ed i'll Chicago.
Just Such Hotel as This City Is Certain
to Appreciate.

Few structures ever crccEcd In this, the citv
OF be autiful buildings, hare attracted more at
tcntion and favorable comment during their
construction than the handsome pressed brick
aud stone edificc just completed ut tue north
east corner Of Wabash aycnue aud Congress
street. Chaste and elegant, without being too
pretcntious, this building has commanded the
admiration Of the thousands who have daily
whirlcd up and down the avenue in question.
OF course there has becn considerable comment
and inquiry as to what the attractive structure
was destined to be- But, rs it nearcd compile
tiou, persons OF sound judgment guessed that it
was intended for an elegant family hotel, and
wondered Why somebody had not utilized the
admirable location Tor such l. purpose before.
We arc clad this morning to be able to con-
firm these slrewd gIesses, and to announce TO
Chicago that the establishment was yesterday
duly opened. Our reporter visited the place IN
the evening and found himself in what is cvi-
dcutly destined to prove the cosicst and most
popular family hotel in this city. It has been
furnished aud will be conducted by Mr.. J. II.
Mason, long and fayorably known to our busi~
ness community, aud is to becoule pleasantly
Hotel Brunswick"
The interior of this fine building is at once
charming, h0Me-like, and inviting. Its location
gives sunlight on all the prominent sides, and
the rooms are consequently bright and health
ful. The furnishing and hitting has bceu conn.,
psetcd with iibcraty Of outlay aud excellent
TASTE. Better than all is the fact that every
thing is paid for, So that tic proprietor can run
his own hotel, and his guests will know that
they arc not overchargcd to help square up old
debts
The superb carpets, lambrcquins, and hang
ines, have been furnished by L. Z. Stewart
& Co. The china and tableware has been made
expressly for the house by French & Co., of
Boston, anu the silver is from Matson Il Co.'S,
OF THIS city. Clark, Swan & Go. made to order
the rich and comfortable furniture, much Of il
being from new and original designs. Wilks d
Co., Of Chicago made the kitchen ranges, and
all the other fixtures AID adorn1nen;s arc the
work Of correspondingly wellisnown firms.
The city has loug needed just such al insttu-
ton; hutcl which should give handsome at
cOmlnotlutions and elegant surroundings at
reasonable rates. This latter important feature
is i certainty iierc, for the reason that Mr..
Mason is under obligations to no creditors,
ana can giye his guests the. benefit
the business portion Of the city is another very
strong point i'll its 1avor. Gentlemen can reagh
1t quickly from their stores offices, while
their wives are within convenient visiting dis
tance OF each OF the three divisions OF the "ity.
Boardcrs at the Hotel Brunswick will thus suffer
Rome Of the customary ycxations OF time and
patience lost by having constantly TO travel un-
necessary distances.
Mr.. Mason has been to Uncommon pains in the
securing Of his help having gradually engaged
tue most competent and experienced Of Assist
ants and servants, instead Of waiting until tue
last minute anI taking whoever might come
along, as is, unfortunately, the general method
Special attention is to be given to keeping the
cuisine at an invariably high standard, aud the
table ut Hutet Brunswick is destined to remain
US good as tue most experienced Of catering aud
artistic OF cooking eau make it. Tic advertise
