Now that it is a fixed fact that the Rose.

night, our citizens should make every effort
possible to entertain them. Tho Grand
Lodge will be in session, hence in addition to
the exCursionists the city will be full Of
strangers, and it is hardly probable that our
hotels will be ablo to accommodate all. Let
private residences also be thrown open and
let that free and open hospitality for which
Albany is so justly celebrated prevail. Let
various sorts of entertaining amusoments be
arranged for the evening of tho o2d, so that
those who may not be entitled, or may not
care, to be at the Lodge rooms. may have an
opportunity to spend pleasant evening in a
manner best suited to thoir tastes. by all
means let no extortionate or over.chargcs be
made for hotel or other accommodations, and
no undue advantage bo taken Of the wants or

pains be spared to render their visit pleasant
and enjoyable to the fullest degree. and let
US send them to their homes with still high.

Cooper, Wheeiden L. Co, has been organized
for the manufacture and sale of the famous

from having an immense sale when they were
