the arrangements are light. airy and at

located opening at the corner into both
Queen and Caswel streets. The rooms
are large and well lighted, and comfort
able both in summer and winter. The
furniture in the office, parlor dining
room and kitchen was put in entirely
new when the new hotel was built.
One good feature is the polite service
one finds here. The table fare is the
best that can be given, the market being
drawn upon for the latest delicacies in
meats, vegetables, fruits and other
viands. The fare is reasonable, 81 per
day for transients, and special price for
regular boarders.

occasion came near losing his life in his
