AND ITS SPLENDID APPOINT.
MENTs.
Col. T. B. Seely the enterpris-
ing proprietor of the Traders is
determined that all the appoint
ments of that magnificent hotel
shall be the finest and most elab.
crate that the skill Of the artist
and the decorator can invent.
Travelling men usually know
what a hotel is and the descrip-
ton one of these noted knights
of the grip" has given of the
Traders merely serves to intro
duce the reader to the artistic
grace that is seen in all the re-
cent Improvements. The hotel
proper has, since its doors were
first thrown open to the public
been considered one of the neat
est and prettiest in all the State.
The fresco artist, seemingly, was
at his best when he applied the
delicate touches and soft colors
so pleasing to the eye. The long
halls, the pink and crimson car
pets. the cosy parlors with pianos
and cushions, all inviting to ease
and enjoyment are not to be
found elsewhere in arrangement
so restful and home-like. The
new saloon opened last Saturday
is a vision-a dream Of wood
carving and artistic effects. Sur
rounded by all the magnificence
that pretty furnishings and deco.
rations can portray, a veritable
gilded palace is revealed. The
immense sideboard is beautifully
carved in pretty and unique de-
signs. On the walls hang lovely
pictures, representative Of some
Of the famous pictures of the old
masters and are very appropri-
ately shown in all their beauty
and historical correctness. In
the furnishings are employed the
best mahogany and cherry OBJ
tainable shown in the natural
wood. The mahogany and cherry
blend in perfect harmony, show
ing the good taste of the artist
whose master hand designed it.
At night when the interior is all
aglow with the soft tinted illum.

bulbs, tbs a scene of luxurious
ness and splendor. The massive
and costly French plate mirrors,
set in the rich carvings. reflect
the elegance of the surround
ings. The walls are stately, in
a delicate crimson shade. Rare
palms and potted plants set in
exquisite antique jardiniers lend
an effect that is more than re-
freshing, From this room one

room also elaborately designed
and another door opens into the
large hotel lobby with It's tiled
floors, cosy surroundings and

are ushered in from the sky-light
above.
