A Palace Of UnObtrusive Elegance, COmhin-
Ing Az the Accessories Of Comfort. ~,
Il Triumph In Art for Witch Mr.. George
+. Pfngst. of the Grand n
Hotel, Is Sponsor.

Hotel proprietors are much like other peo-
pie; they put the best foot forward when it
comes to embellishing their houses and
make those parts of the hotel that are
thrown open to tho public the most attract
i've. Mr.. George F. Pfngst. proprietor ef
the Grand Hotel, il notable exception to
the rule. He begins his ministrations for
the comfort of his guests with the sleep
ing-rooms. and the most palatial home in
this city has nothing superior in either
comfort or elegance. From this beginning
his efforts have gone all over the Grand
Hotel, until he has happily brought to-
gether all the accessories requisite to m AXE
q first-class house.
He has recently turned bis attention to
the billIard-room and bar. and the munifi-
keynote to the entire house. for streaming
glories shine everywhere. The first thing
to be mentioned is the wood work (wains-
coting. bar. etc., which is of the choieest
pollard oak, each piece selected with the
greatest care.
The billiard tables, six in number, are
finished In the eixteenth century style. and
have all the improvements that the LEADING g
manufacturers of these goods can devise.
The side-board and bar fixtures. the cigar
finished equal to the finest piano case. and
complete In every particular.
This beautiful wood-work was furnished
by the Brunswick-Balk Company, OF Gin
cinnsti. %
1t must, however. be acknowledged that
the acme of art, tho pinnacle of perfection.
has been attained in the decorations. The
atmosphere of unobtrusive elegance that
pervades this portion of the art-work Is es-
pecially worthy of notice in these days
when the glaring and tawdry are so often
employed by would be decorators. The
ceiling of the spacious billiard-room and
bar, with its Romanesque treatment in
stylings holdings and friezes, is a revela-
tion in decorative art. Then the eve rests
upon massive oaken columns with caps of
solid silver. The soft shades of ciel blue
upon the ceiling divided with bands of
etruscan gold and the entire effect Is one
of rare and delicate harmony.
But the club parlor to the northwest of
the billiard-roOm is whore the decorator
has shown all the resources of his art. The
heavy plate-glass windows. with their
quaint tracery of frost lines set in geometric
designs in silver. are poem of winter. a
sonata in glass. Here the ceiling is of ivory
and blue and the walls of garnet, with
stencil laurel wreaths in crimson.
The furniture in this room is in the six
teenth century finish and Romanesque in
design. and is up to the high standard that
pervades all the details of these, the most
elegant billiard parlors IL the State.
These decorations, in their entirety. with
all their corollaries, are by Albert Gall, and
show the elegant and artistic work of which
his establishment is capable.
These magnificent rooms will be opened
to the public Saturday, the Goth inst. when
Perry. the celebrated finger billiardist, will
be present
