During the afternoon and evening
the lobby and various apartments OF
the hotel were thronged with visitors.
They were especially pleased with the
day parlor, which is designed in EN-
pire style, in green and red; also the
ladies parlor, Louis XVI design, furni-
ture to match, finished in oil fresco,
with applique relief and carton pierre.
The prevailing colors were green and
rose.
Early in the evening an event oc-
Cured which was not down on the
programme for the opening. A num-
Der of friends of the management

ments, and will be one of the finest in
the United States. The writing room

fore used as the Postal Telegraph
Companyfs offics. tile telegraph Of
fee being removed to the old writing
room.
There was not an hour during the
day when the bar was not thronged.
1t is a decided novelty, and will be one
of the objects of interest to visitors in
the city. 1t was designed and built by
w. H. Van Tine, who is a native Hol-
lander, and therefore familiar with the
Dutch style Of architecture. There is
no pretention to anything modern in
the bar. There is not a mirror in the
room. The floor is CT cid style tile,
uneven and rough. The walls are
partly constructed OF blue Dutch tile.
The beams and Gothic columns are
of chestnut, with Flemish finish. The
columns are supported by buck heads.
The chandeliers are of massive design,
with the familiar Dutch lantern, light
ed by electricity.
The room is adorned with a number
of tapestries. which are limitations of
famous paintings by Tenier, the Dutch
artist. On the rear wall are hand
painted reproductions of the "The
Monks Mishap' a Game CT Chance, .
and Holland Love Scene" Bar orna-
ments are old fashioned pipe and to-
bacco bag, beer 'steins," etc. A clock
is constructed Of the end of beer bar
rel. The tables and chairs are of Dutch
timber, the later having rush seats.
