cy. IL had been hoped D. have tue aisert-
tions completed on or near the lst of sep.
tember, but despite the increased force ot
men that has been put 10 work to hurfy
matters forward, i, will probably be 4 week
or two before the club can leave its Oh
ting has been done in the basement aud uss
rear portion Of the house. The architecture
Of the basement has been changed al
most entirely, the space having De't
fitted up for cafe, barber-shop, card
rooms, etc. The famous picture gallery
has been arranged for a billiard room, and
the Manhattan Club will undoubtedly have
the distinction OF not alone having the ilne u
clubhouse in the world, but the hne't
billiard parlor as well. The elevator :,
freight. and passenger, have been put up ~
the rear of the house. where the seryantS
stairway USED 10 be. In the grand pari"r,
and the other room, very little has been
done. except touching up the woodwork
here and there.
