The home Of the great and only "Nelson
2.l0 34 D" who was never before in better
condition tbsn he is now. The hetel men
were particularly pleased with the gener al ap-
pearanCe and srrsngen ent Of the new Bay
View House, and bestowed upon it many
deserved compliments. Some excitement
was created among the newspaper fraternity
his morning by the announcement that
they we're 20 be excluded from the meeting
and were 10 be given such a report of the
meeting as might be thought proper for
the m to receive.
This idea evidently hsd its origin
with some small member of the Board of
Directors who is troubled with that

give themselves away by any such short
sighted action as that proposed.

not miilioaaires but expend their money In
lifting heir hotels with every comfort and
clnvenience. AID they do rot want to turn
guests from their doors. Hotel men
generally are not speakers bu. actors,
and il is their wish to act for the
best. They know what of right belongs to

Brick thanked the association for the honor
conferred rpoa him, remarked that there
was much business to be done and ex-

ought to be. This should be made the
