THE RESTAURANT KING.

The PalatiaI Establishment of Geo. W.
Magee and His Splendid Facilities for
Serving Partiss-A retired Dining Room
and q Fine Place for Private Dancing
Socials.
We are no longer surprised that strang-
ers visiting ourScity express astonishment
whan taken to the magnificent restaurant
of Geo. W. Magee. It has come to be so
universally popular mention that we ex-
pect it, and now will be the more taken
back when the man is found who does not
praise its elegant appointments, splendid
management, and more, its superb bill of
fare which is served in direct COMPARISON
with perhaps three of the famous cafes
of New York city. Mr.. Magee's retinue
of cooks in every department have been Sc
leeted with personal care FROM the very
best and most prominent restaurants in
the east, and every man who has enjoyed
the perfect service and delicious cooking
of any meat, game or oyster order from
his menu, gives his immediate approval,
substantiating this.
The fact is, Magee is making an epicure
Of every patron he has.
We noticed mention Of his new under
taking last week, that of
catering for wedding parties, clubs
dinners and lunches of every variety, and
for every occasion, and are pleased to
learn thathe has every detail perfected,
and already he has several events on his
books with carte blanche orders to serve
after his own ideas. He certainly pre-
sents to his customers in this department
the most elaborate and complete service
of china, silverwars and linen We have ever
seen in the west, Chicago not e1cepted)
and with his corp of walters (evsry man OF
whom is an expert he is admirably equip
ped to handle any affair that is placed in
his charge.
A wedding breakfast which hs is pre-
pairing for the present week is to be q
charming example Of modern catering.
A visiel of the salads he is to prepare
fer reception in the near future, stamps
his man in charge q veritable artistic
in decorations. A boqust for example, cat
frsm fresh vegetables was SO real In ap-
pearancs that one would doubt its origin,
and insist TIA the dainty tsllp and lovely
salla lilly were the eheios
clippings Hrom "a greenhouse.
4 glimpse was had the other day Of his
private dining room under the main res
taurant and an apartment that is reached
by q broad, haldseus stairway from the
main fssr. II 10 . charming room with
excellent ventilation, and though ample in
size has q snug, cosy appearance, which
taken with it, perfect ssclusion makes it
impress one instantly as a happy retreat
fer the delightful little parties that en-
icy their entertainments there.
In connection with it there
are toilet and retiring rooms
for both ladies and gentlemen and the
thought has Just suggested itself; why
would not this suite of apartments be ad-
mirably adapted to the use Of very select
dancing parties, everything connected
it favoring most perfect accommodation
for such events. There is place for the
orchestra, ample room for twelve to six
teen couples, and just up stairs, the place
above all others, for any supper that might
be wanted. There are no club rooms In
st. Paul and the retired little
domain would be just the substitute tor
the merry little parties that our young
people inaugurate during our winter sea-
son. The place is fitted up for such affairs,
and as everything seems to us SO perfectly
complete for events that require such &C.
commoaations we fancy the suggestion is
happy thought and will be appreciated
by our young people at least. Why not
remember it and talk to Mr.. Magee
about itf
