New York, Dec. 21.-The northward march
OF business in this city has involved the an
Inhalation of many hotels with associates of
one sort or another. Like the theaters, the
hotels have to give way to changed condi-
tons. They have to follow their patrons And
New York is gradually but surely moving
farther uptown. Not long ago St. Louisans
as well as other visitors. patronized the
hostelries in the vicinity of Fourteenth to
Twenty-third streets, which was then the
Rfalto OF New York. But these old timers
have fallen behind the procession. There
are number Of these once prosperous
hotels in that neighborhood, but there is
no longer busy air of hospitality Instead
cheap dinners. business mems luncheons

nothing that has to keep abreast Of the
times to greater extent than a hotel. The

peculiar weakness for trying the latest

people are fully aware how pronounced have
been the claims OF his Majesty King Edward
VII to be considered clubman.
He is. however one OF the most prominent
OF such in Great Britain. and has belonged
to something like twenty clubs. The major
ity of the institutions whose membership
lists are honored by his name therein are OF

ed the throne he was also a member OF
several established for purely social pur-

The United Service Club was established
in waterloo year. and is housed at No.

fined to 1909. all OF whom must be naval
or military officers. whose rank is at least
equivalent to that Of major. Prominent
among those belonging to the club are: II.

The handsomest service club, however,
Of which his Majesty is patron is the Army
and Navy. The clubhouse, which stands at
the corner of ST. James square and Pail
Mall. was erected in 1851, at a total cost OF
