Iue>dny, Muy 10,
The new restaurant and confectionery OF
Messrs. FLOYD 4 Mooney will he formally
opened for business. Al that time all the
various departments will be complete in
every detail, and the public will be in
vited TO visit and inspect the most per
fectly appointed restaurant IN the State
and, perhaps, in tho south. Everything
necessary for the equipment OF a iirst class
restaurant that money could procure or
ingenuity devise has been made use OF In
fitting up this elegant establishment.
brief description OF the restaurant will be
Of interest 10 the public. Descending TO
the basement the new tubular boiler, en-
CINE condenser, patent ice cfnshers, steam
Ice cream ireezers, ETC., all bright and new,
attract the visitor; then, passing through
to the store-room, we find choice edibles,
foreign and domestic, ineyery variety. A
car load OF Waukcsha water seemed u large
quantity, but We were told that II would
be served TO all guests during the sum-
mer. Country cured hams, choice break
fast bacon, shelled nuts by the barrel, such
M almonds, pecans, pignolia, choice I'M
ported fruits and canned goods, salts from
all the leading springs, and a thousand
other dclicacies, I'LL tho clean, orderly
store-room. In the boilcrroom, on large,
clean blocks, the fish used In the restaurant
are prepared. Boxes Of hne, fat squads,
game fish, turtle, etc. ave the visitor
visions OF charming dinners In embryo.
In the basement cleanliness and orderly
arrangement are everywhere noticeable.
On the ground floor Of the extreme
rear OF the building Is the Kitchen.
| This building Is detached from the
restaurant, and guests escape all
tho odon OF cooking meats and
vegetables, 10 common In ordinary
restaurants. A hood covering the large
range carries all impurcair from the room.
-Four fans run by steam keep all HES out
OF the kitchen. These and other noticcca,
bio improvements make this model
kitchen. In the pastry and confectionery
room on the second floor a dozen active
young men with clean hands and white
APRONS were hard nj work. We were shown a
vino cake, something now and made only
| by this firm, also n variety Of choice con-
iectlons MOTTO DO found elsewherein Mem
phis. Finally we come 10 the main res
iaunnt, a room OF grand proportions, hay:.
ing tiled floor, wainsooaiing oil imported
tile, above which on either side OF the
room is super-wainscoaiing, OF French

the rear OF the room Mcssrs. Floyd q
Mooney have introduced an entirely new
feature, and one that tho public will APP
prcciaie, namely. an open pantry with
cases Of solid silver and china, and where
such articles as cream, butter, etc, arc
served In such q manner that the guest
secs for himself exactly what is being
served 10 him. II Is impossible TO describe
In brief space the various decorations ol
the room. Everything that lace curtains
OF finest quality, pot flowers In great yari'
oty, beautifully tinted ceilings and wains-
coated walls can do 10 make a room home
like and charming IL accomplished here
We should mention, perhaps, that the
finest soda fountain ever brought TO IN,
south will be placed in position soon, and
the established reputation Of the firm iol
handling the purcst and most delicious ho
weather drinks will be maintained hpac'
does not permit ola more extended notice a
this time, but our reporter felt ns he came
away that the hour spent IN examining thu
complete and elegant establishment was
very profitable one. 49,,
The entcrprislng fm which ha
planned and fitted up rcstaunn
30 perfect In every detail vii
certainly be literally paironized b,
our citizens, and no visitor 10 Momphi
will depart without nnt having beef
served with some OF the many dolicacies 4
be found at Floyd 4 Moneys new resiau
rant, 27O and PSI Main street.
