saloon and terrace garden OF Mr..
Henry Luehrmanne at the southeast
corner of Main and Monroe streets.
1t is bijou resort truly, and promises
to become as popular as it is attrac-
tive.
For some time past the proprietor
has been busy supervising the COM
struction and adOrnment of this pala-
tial resort, and as it approached Gem
pletion his friends and patrons exhib-
tied both impotence and anxiety re-
garding happening DESTROYS of seeing
it completed and ready for their in
speotiOn as we'll as their convenience.
After deveting his undivided atten.
ton and large amount of money to
the enterprise, the proprietor was
able to throw the doors open to the
public last Saturday night, and the
thousands of people who went through
from cellar to surface, all pronounced
it elegant in the extreme.
On the first or street floor OF this
novel and beautiful resort is the grand
saloon, the finest, most spacious and
complete refreshment place in the
South. 1t is embellished in beautiful
and tasty fashion, has smoothly waxed
floors, polished wainscottings of alter
nate ash and gum woods, the walls and
ceilings are Of exquisite taste and fine
workmanship, while the fresCOing,
gliding and other adornments are of
the highest order OF skill and beauty.
This large room is divided by lat
ticed partition, so that the retectory
or diningroom is separated from the
barroom. A pleasing feature of this
spacious department are the wood en-
cased iron columns which support the
terrace above. the same being hands
somely carved and decorated with caps
and bases. The entrance to the saloon
is from Main street, through pair of
massive, heavy panneled doors artists
cally decorated and with embossed
plate glass Of beautiful design, while
stained glass windows, are placed on
each side. The doors are back from
the front, so that q recess or lobby is
formed. The grand saloon is illumi-
mated by three heavy gilt chandeliers,
each having six burners, also with two
Brush electric lights, while the dining
saloon has two chandeliers and one
Brush electric burner. The pantry,
kitchen, ice boxes, meat storeroem and
all necessary appurtenances are in the
basement, and are admirably located
both for convenience and general
usefulness. There are two. Easements
below the main floor, one being used
for kitchen, etc., as named,
and the lower one for
two large cisterns and for q general
storage room. The latter is one Of
the coolest places in the city, and is
admirably adapted for the purposes
desired.
The garden is a novelty worthy oil
particular notice, as there never has
been anything like it here. 1t is
reached by a stairway leading from
Main street. The Appeal of yester
day describes this beautiful portion Of
the new place as follows;
THE Terrace is illuminated with
three Brush electric lights in the hall
proper, besides one suspended over
the Main street bauquette, Immediately

in bronze. The front and north side
of the Terrace is inclosed with wooden
dadoe, wrought into pleasing shapes.
Each opening in the work contains sn

basket, all of which are designed to
be kept supplied with fresh natural
flowers, vine pendants and evergreens.
