BANQUETS AND DINNERS.
A Great Deal of Money spent In New
York for Those Affairs

No statistician has ever turned his
attention to making record of the
vast number of banquets and dinners
held in New York during period of
twelve months, remarks the Advertiser
of that city The amount of money ex-
pended on such affairs in Gotham would
astonish even the man of figures. The
conclusion has been reached that New
\ ork Is rapidly getting 10 be com
munity of epicures. Paris Is celebrated
the world over as a city whose people
know better than any others how TO
live but New York is making such
rapid strides in this direction that the
gay French capital will have TO look to
its laurels.
The figures as to the cost of public
banquets given at the big uptown hos
telries during a season are simply pro-
digious. No one who has not exam
ined into the subject would imagine
that they aggregate the vast sums they
do How many people know what one
million dollars really is, and how many
things can be accomplished with such
sum? This amount is expended every
year In providing the viands and wines
and entertainments for those who like
TO dine well together at public ban
quets. These figures do not include
the vast number of private dinners
given by the rich and exclusive people
who find it more convenient TO dine
their friends at hotels than in their
own houses.
