1.-THE PALACE"
The Finest Affair ON the Pacific
Coast,

Coast.
Schurtz's gang of carpenters and
wood carvers did a big weeks work,
ending last Saturday night. The scene
of their operations is in the basement of
the Wilson block, on the corner of
Spring and First streets, opposite the
Nadeau. The artistic work being done
there is getting well along, and before
many days this elegant place will be
thrown open for the delectation of the
public.
JOLLY TIME.
Last night, after the hard weeks work
was over, SO pleased was old Shurtz that,
having paid all the men off, he and all
the crew of skilled mechanics went off
on a little spree to that old and
well-known place, the Eintracht.
This place is kept by two of the
leading German citizens of Los Angeles,
and good friends of Mr.. Schurtz, Bauer
& Gollmer. 1t was lively time when
the old man., surrounded by his sixty
nine mechanics, sat down to quaff the
delicious, ice cold, creamy Anheuser-
Busch beer from the cellars of the
Messrs. Bauer & Gollmer. So mar y
were the glasses ordered that the bar
tender became bewildered trying to keep
the count, and when Schurtz became
aware of this, he ordered whole barrel
of beer set in the center OF the table, and
each man helped himself as often as he
felt like doing 80.
A TRIBUTE TO HIS MEN.
This was very handsome and proper
tribute for Mr.. Schurtz to pay to the skill
and artistic talent of his men. They
have worked with a will to carry into
perfect execution his elaborate and
unique plans to make in Los Angeles one
of the very finest places of resort in the
Union. San Francisco has nothing that
will compare with this, and when Los
Angeles shall be five times as large as
she is now, no finer place will be pos
sible.
THEYsaLL MAKE SPEECHES.
Each of the men last night delivered a
short address to Mr.. Schurtz, and eulo-
gized him for the beautiful plan Of his
place, and for the liberal manner in
which he is carrying out his own ideas.
AS the cool beer and fervid speeches
continued to flow freely, cheers re-
sounded through the place, and Schuriz
was the hero of the hour. The mechan-
les spoke of the fact that he had not sent
out of the city for dollars worth OF the
stuff being used in the Palace. Every
thing was purchased or made right
here in Los Angeles, and the many thou
sand dollars he Is spending go to pay
the home artisan or to enrich the local
merchant.
CONTRACTOR GUENTHER MAKES SPEECH.
After the men had each made a
speech, the contractor under whose di-
rection the work is done, Mr.. Fritz
Guenther, proceeded in an elaborate
speech to set forth the admirable man.
ner in which Mr.. Schultz rs fitting up the
Palace. The work is the most elegant
ever attempted on this Coast, and the
finish in all the details is perfect. 1t will
be perfect marvel of beauty when fin.
ished and opened to the public.
THEY ALL PART FRIENDS.
After the last glass was drawn from
the keg of cold and refreshing Anheuser
Busch beer, so well handled by the Elm.

Schurtz hearty goodnight. Not g

sitting, and not an incident msrred the

best designs in Europe, and will be fur
