EAsToN, Mp, March 10.-The open.
ing Of the Hotel Avon at Easton, Md,
marks a new era in houses of public
entertainment in this state. The Hotel
Avon is large brick structure Of hand
some architecture, built on plans de
signed by Jackson G. Colt of Baltimore.
The building is 81 by 119 feet and covers
an area Of 10,G56 square feet There are
90 bed chambers, handsomely furnished
with cherry suits, and all the appoint
ments are neat and elegant. If the
house is conducted in keeping with its
size, style and furnishing, it cannot fail
to be of great benefit to Easton and a
credit to the state. Few things are more
sadly needed in the towns of Maryland,
especially the larger ones, than modern
public houses ON the scale of the hotels
which are going up nearly everywhere
IN all the states, and more especially in
the south. In this latter section fine
hotels, kept in good fashion, have proved
of immense benefit to the communities
i'll which they have been built.
