THE GRrGGS AND GILES CONCERT
HALL.
In company with Mr.. w G. Nor
ris, Mr.. II. E. Giles and several mem
bers of the Home Dramatic Club, We
had the pleasure during the past
week of viewing the new concert,
theatrical and dancing hall just
completed in the Fifteenth ward by
Messrs. Giles s. Griggs; the dimen-
siOns of the building are 31X61 feet,
ceiling IA feet high and stage room
about 16x20 feet in the clear. all of
which make it the most desirable
building we have for public enter
tainments outside of the Theatre or
Opera House. Negotiations are now
going on with Mr.. Morris for the
interior decoration of the building,
and the painting Of the proscenium,
scenery and curtain. Messrs Griggs
& Giles, who are both well known
in musical circles, are determined
10 give their house high-class
character, and to this end only de-
sire applications from the best at
fractions. The erection of their
hall supplies want long felt in the
community, and though it is too far
removed from Main street to expect
the general patronage. still in such
musical centre as the Fifteenth
ward, the own rs need never fear
that they Lave made a losing ia.
