GENTLEMEN II beg to write hurritdly,
lint with much interest and earnestness, to
recommend foI the Steward g place in your
institution Mr.. Thos. s. Davis. who for
not less than fourteen years has been &C
lively enga Led in hotel BUSINESS, and fer
large portion of that time as manager
This, of itself, will indicate something of
the experience which Mr.. D. will bring in
the very line of duly in which he would b.
called upon to act in the Capacity alluded
to. To speak of his splendid address. his
active and methoGical habits of life, his
industry and loyalty to his employer, his
atfable manners, and ali the excellencies
of heart and head, that make him so pecu-
lidrlg fitted for the position he seeks.
would take more time and space than |
can at present command. OF perhaps, than
you Will require. In short, then, while l
do not think 1 am at all "given " to ex-
trayagant recommendations feel safe in
saying, in this case, that could scarcely
use language too strong to express 9hat
believe to be Mr.. Dayisss unusual suit
ableness for the particular duties of the
position in question.
1t is hardly necessary to add that Mr.
n. 10 not only Readjuster; but stable,
stan och. leading aud influential one.
Yours truly,
RO. s. HAMILTON.

The mixed chorus met for rehearsal the
second time in the smngerfest building
last evening. As on the evening previous
the voices were in perfect harmony, re-
flecting much credit upon the management
ofthe director. Several solos and Duets
were rendered that would prove highly
creditable in more extended space thar
Dallas presents. The mixed chorus will
doubtless, prove the most charming feature
OF the Smngeriest.
