There are hotels and hotels ia New
York. There are hotels where the
rule is 10 extract the largest amount
Of money from the victim, and give
the least possible accommodation:
you al still fool away four and Eve
dollars a day, If you choose, bat it ID
not necessary. The best house in
New York, to-day, is the Sturtevaus,.
kept by the Islands, Lewis and
George. Located on Broadway, be-
tween 2Sth and Goth streets, it is in
toe very heart of the city, both as
regards business aud amusements.
The table is u~nequalled and there are
no better rooms anywhere. You can
have exactly what you want at the
S%turtevant. If you want plain home
cooking, such Us "your mother used
to give you" you can have it, and IL
you want French kickshaws. your
taste in that direction will be graft
Ief. The servants are attentive, for
there are two OF the best hotel men
on the Continent, constantly watch
ing them. and the establishment is
conducted with an eve single to the
comfort Of the guest The proprie-
tors are genial, pleasant gentlemen,
and they won't have a man about
them who is not Everybody is
made TO feel at home, and the prices ?
Well, you a live as che a ply or as
extensively as you choose at the
S~turtevant You can have a room
st a dollar c day, and eat where you
please, OF you can have q delightful
oom and full board for from 50 so to
81 90 per day. You a live well at
the house as low as 81 IS per diem.
Ii is the favorile resort FOX Califos-
mans, and Of late years, Il has been
headquarters for Ohio, Illinois aud
the northwest generally. 1t has held
It's trade during the dull times, be-
cause the house is well and honestly
kept, and everybody who comes to
1t feels az home from the time th.v
put foot inside its doors, till thew
leave. If you visit New York this
Summer don't forget the S~turtevant.
My word for it, you viii never 20
elsewhere.
