The city hostelries are doing an i'm
mense business. For the past month or
six weeks they have all been full up,
and almost every night one or more of
them have been compelled to place
cots in the rooms already occupied, and
in one instance one of them was COM
PEELED to fill the parlOr with cots. The
business at the present time, as com
pared with that Of last year, is reported
by the clerks to be not less than 80 per
cent. better, with indications for a de-
cided increase.
OF course. the majority of the guests
at the hotels are commercial men,
which is a sure indication that business
is improving all over the country.
Then again the hotels here catch all the
oil men travelling between the Pennsyl-
vania fields and those of West Virginia
Sistersville and Warrington, which
are not a few. A Water street hotel,
which seems to be a sort of headquar-
ters for them, reported nineteen one
night last week
Beside the commercial travellers and
oil men there is fair sprinkling Of
business men of all sorts stopping off
in the city and of visitors from the in
terror of the State, and from nearby
towns in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Next
week the hotels are expecting more
business than they have been having
for some time, on account Of the spring
meeting of the Driving Club at the
State Fair Grounds and the glove con-
tests of the Metropolitan Club. Such
events always attract large crowds, and
it is possible that they will be taxed to
their utmost to accommodate all the
visitors to the city on these occasions.
