solid improvements, both public anc
private, has now added to her man,
attractions the largest, finest and most
complete billiard establishment, moi
only on the Pacific coast, but in the
Union itself. 'The Southern" Bill.
lard Parlor, at No. 130 West First
street, will be opened this, Saturday
evening, at 5 o'clock. "The South
ern" contains sixteen elegant and
costly billiard tables, manufactured
expressly for "The Southern" by the
Brunswick, Balk, Collruder Company
of Chicago, and stands pre-eminently
the largest, finest and most complete
establishment of the kind OH the
Pacific coast. The fame OF the manu-
facturers is worldwide and is suffi-
cient guarantee OF the appointments
of "The Southern" Mr.. J.. Stafford
and Mr.. III. Hitler, representatives of
this company, personally superin-
tended the work of arranging the
tables, and to these gentlemen much
credit is due for the able manner in
which they performed their task. No
city in America contains under one
roof sixteen tables, more complete,
with all the latest modern improve
ments, than is to be found in "The
Southern" The establishment has
been fitted up especially to meet all
the requirements of a first-c class re-
sort. The building is particularly
adapted to the purpose. One large
and unobstructed room 50xSO feet,
lighted and ventilated by skylight
and windows during the day, and at
night brilliantly illuminated by gas
and electricity. No less than one
hundred gas jets can be utilized
for this purpose if necessary.
The floor OF the main room,
vestibule and hall is GOV.
cred with latest improved pat
terms Of linoleum, representing old
English oak tiling, pronounced by
competent judges to be a perfect re-
production OF the pattern and style of
the original. Some idea of the size of
the room can be learned from the
fact that it required about 500 yards
of linoleun to cover the floor. The
club rooms, OF which there are two,
are elegantly carpeted with Brussels
and handsomely furnished. Mr.. B.
Cohn, of the Philadelphia carpet
store, on South Spring street, supplied
the linoleum and carpets. The entire
has been neatly deco
rated by Mr.. j. Brusel to harmonize
with the surroundings and present
pleasing appearance of elegance aud
artistic effect. An electric annunci-
ator, telephone and district messen-
ger service have been provided for
the accommodation of guests and
patrons.
In addition to the billiard parlor
first class bar, perfect in all it's ap-
pointments, will be one of the fea-
lures of "The Southern. The fix
lures were also manufactured ex-
pressly for this establishment and are
undoubtedly the finest and most
costly on the cast. The rarest and
most expensive of woods, OF which
California challenges the world to
produce its equal, namely, laurel,
Dird-eye maple and wild cherry, are
used in their construction. The fix
lures are the the handiwork of Mr.. j.
A. Chenoweth, Of 1904 Sacramento
street, San Francisco; this clever
artisan has taken special pride, not
only in the workmanship displayed,
but in the happy, artistic blending OF
he different shades, grain and effects.
The counter top OF the front bar above
IS unrivalled by any similar appur-
;enance in California. Three mag
1iicent French plate mirrors one Of
hem measuring Sx10 feet, the largest
Mirror on the Pacific coast, rest
lpon the back bar, and reflect with
rue brilliancy the foreground of the
,ntire room, including the rare and
Unique articles of virtu and crystal
glassware. These mirrors are without
loubt the largest and finest ever i'm
ported to the coast, and stand unriy-
lied for size and true brilliancy. An
elegant and costly chandelier lends
additional beauty to the scene, sus-
,ended as it is directly over tie froAt
oar and in direct rays of the magnifi
.ent mirrors. Several chandeliers,
While not SO elaborate, but OF becom-
ng worth, lend their aid not only to 4!
