THE ARCADE HOTEL.
The Arcade Hotel, Thomas Guinean pro-
pretor, is situate on Second street, between
j and X. 1t is one of the oldest and best
houses in interior California; indeed, it has
no superior outside of the metropolis. Mr..
Guinean may be said to be famous as a ca
terer. Perhaps the most elegant banquets
ever spread in the State are to be credited
to the Arcade. The house is the resort of
the best character of the travelling public.
and it is far better known among travellers
than it is, perhaps, among the residents of
Sacramento. The hotel is large, but not
elephantine it is richly but not gaudily
furnished, and it possesses peculiar advan-
tages because of its nearness to the depots
and its central location in the city. It's
bar and reading-rooms are upon the street
level, and are the resort of prominent men
on all occasions of popular gatherings in
the city. In recent additions to the house
is new and very handsome dining-ro room.
Mr.. Guinean is the inventor of the best re-
frigerator known-a mammoth sample of
which is in use at the hotel.
CAPITAL HOTEL, SEVENTH AND STREETS.
This long established and popular hotel,
now under the excellent management of
Messrs. E. G. Blessing and A. B. Guthrie,

houses in the interior. Recently it's land
lords have made many important improve
ments and added largely to the comforts of
their house. The house is spacious three
story brick, with two fronts. Its rooms
are excellently furnished, and the table is
recognized as supplied with taste and
abundance. The Capital has been fortunate
in having its destinies presided over by
two such competent landlords as Messrs.
Blessing and Guthrie, who are ably as
sisted ia all departments of the house by
experienced employees. As family resort,
or home, the Capital is deservedly popular;
and it is hardly less known as a political
center, where, during public gatherings of
State or county significance, the chiefs of
opposing clans most do congregate. Prices
have been so arranged that guests can Sc.
cure a choice of accommodations at from
81 to 50 per day for rooms and board.
