Court street, opposite Court Square, has
been made famous throughout the
United States for its celebrity in the
gastronomic world. No restaurant in
the United States has excelled it, and but
few have ever equaled it. Mons. John
Castor, who is celebrated as q caterer
and who e the prize bouquet as a
restaurant proprietor, has recently fitted
up in most inviting style about sixty
rooms for the accom- mediation OF guests.
These rooms are directly connected with
his restaurant, and are situated on Main
aud Court streets, affording a splendid
view and ventilation. CASTOR needs no
introduction, as his name has become
synonymous with good things.
In connection with bis restaurant he
has erected q large hotel which he con.
ducts on the European plan. The hotel
is elegantly furnished and contains ell
the latest improvements aud conven.
fences known to the club house or hotel
world. The wants and demands Of his
customers made it an imperative duty on
his part to establish a hotel.
H EUROPEAN PLAN.
For one dollar per day the ease.loving
traveller a secure an elegantly furn.
ished room and all the attendance known
to fashionable life. He can secure his
meals at the restaurant at prices to suit
his pocket and palate; can live as high
as a prince, or as medestly as an ancho.
rite, if be SO desires. This necessity has
long been felt in Memphis, and the es-
Enlistment of a 6rst class hotel on the
European plan meets a want demanded
by the public, especially the travelling
public. Mons. CASTOR has arranged his
hotel on the best possible plan. The
furniture and upholstery are Of the latest
styles; heaters are found all over the
house-in the dining rooms, halls, sleep
ing rooms, etc.
H ACCOMMODATIONS.
On the ground floor are the restaurant,
office, bar and BARRIERS shop, all Of which
are fitted up in elegant style. The els-
vator carries you up TO the second and
third floors, where are located the finely
furnished bedrooms for guests.
On the second floor will be found re.
ception and sitting-rooms, reading-rooms,
sample rooms for commercial travellers
where they can see their customers and
display their goods. The ladies dining.
room is also on this floor.
In the third story single rooms and
suits OF rooms can be found fronting on
Main street and Court Square. All Of
the rooms in the house are well venti.
lated, well heated and are so located as
to command a fine view Of the business
portion of the city and the beautiful
park-Court Square.
All the necessary conveniences such
as laundry, drying-rooms, water closets,
bathrooms with hot and cold water, can
be found most convenient.
Around the hotel, within Easy reach
Of all the rooms, are wide porticoes,
which furnish ample means Of escape in
case Of fire, an improvement most neces-
sary in hotels and which few of them
possess. Gaston's is a place where you

corpsof attentive walters, surrounded by
every convenience Of life and at a most
reasonable price.
