third with moquettes, and the reception
rooms with royal Wiltons. The halls and
stairs are carpeted with rich red body
Brussels. A Noticeable display ofsuperior
taste is the adoption OF different figured
carpets in each room, thus relieving the
occupant or mere inspector from even the
slightest monotonous sensation. Tho
rooms are also supplied with the
latest and costliest designs in ele-
CANT lace curtains, cornice poles
and drapery chains, all Of which har-
monte thoroughly with the furniture, car
pets and general furnishings. The furni-
ture was all purchased at Cincinnati, but
Mr.. Luehrmann was fortunate in having a
sterling and mammoth house in Memphis
from which to secure the necessary car
pets, sheetings, table linen, towels, napkins,
etc. This was that famous and universally
popular house, Messrs. b. Lowenstein 4
Bros. These gentlemen, with their usual
enterprise and encouragement for such an
enormouse and crcditable institution as
the Hotel Luehrmann, extended induce
ments which no man with the sagacity of
Mr.. Luehrmann would have disregarded.
1t would have been folly for him to 90 fur
ther, both for the quality OF the goods
offered and the monetary consideration.
1t was beautiful example OF two wide
awake and progressive establishments
working in harmony for the benefit OF the
city and themselves.
Another prominent and vigorous firm
entered into the commendable and mutu-
ally beneficial combination to keep the
money at home and yet preserve the ex-
allied standard of the hotel intact, This
was Messrs. Floyd & Co., the china, glass
and queensware dealers, who also carry n
large and we'll assorted stock of everything
pertaining TO such an establishment
Through them Mr.. Luehrmann imported
the toilet wares which are displayed in
great abundance throughout his hotel.
Each set is in color, and beautifully har-
monies with the surrounding furniture,
completing the general picture Of lowell
ness. This is also true OF the mantle orna-
mcnts and.decorations, all the most elabor-
ate and costly bric-a-brac and OF the latest
style.
Sample rooms are conveniently arranged
for guests and their friends, AZ is also the
general bar and spacious and attractive
dining-room. OF these it is unnecessary
to speak, for there is not a man in Mem
| phis, or visitor TO the city, knowing any
thing whatever OF such matters who is moi
pleasurably familiar with their thorough
completeness. T.uehrmann's" is q syno.
nym for any and everything pure, whole.
some and excellent in the lines carried by
him. There is little or no room for i'm.
provement IN that direction, vet the pro.
prietor will make an effort by charging
his already spacious dining-hall and ar
ranging for the heaviest possible demands
upon his accommodations.
II, ms is generally accepted as truth
towns and cities are known by theil
hotels, then Mr.. Henry Luehrmann de
serves the thanksof Memphis and vicinity
for his enterprise and remarkable display
OF public spiritednoss. Just ut this time
the eve OF great race meeting, when no
tells and boarIling-houscs are tested {,
their utmost, the opening Of the superb
establishment is great public benefac
ton. Every feature has received no
only Mr.. Luehrnann's personal suporvis
ion but this has been augmented will
ample funds and wealth OF experience
The hotel will be thrown open tomorrow
for public inspection, but visitors will b,
confined 10 the fair sex and escorts
Gentlemen unaccompanied by ladie
will be politely but firmly re
qucsted 10 wait until Tuesday, OF
which day and ever afterward the!
may have absolute sway in the hotel a
reasonable rates. II is an institution o.
infinite credit TO Mr.. Luehunann, tho
thriving metropolis which extends IL
patronage and confidence, and the grea
country which maintains both. There
fore the situation is as IL should be nj
around, aud the picture a beautiful one 4
