The Weekly Tallahasseean., 1901-05-30

licity has been given to the
misleading rumOr that the hotel
and boarding house accommo-
datiOns of Buffalo will not be
adequate to the crowd who will
visit the Pan-American Expo
sitiOn. Investigation shows
that nearly all the private house
holders in the city will be will
ing to take rOomers or bOarders
at reasonable rates. Several
new hotels are now nearly COM
pleted. A great many board
ing houses are in good shape to
entertain large crowds. These
have also made preparations to
have cots ready in case Of an
emergency.
Among the new hotels is
Statler's on which the finishing
touches are now being put, just
outside the Exposition grounds.
Near this several other hotels
are rapidly going up. In town
the GeneSee house, the oldest
and best known in the city, has
been undergoing extensive re-
pairs. Here elaborate arrange
mentS have been made to put a
number Of people in one room,
should necessity arise, and the
price will be $500 a night. The
Tiff house stands on about the
same footing, The Iroquois has
just finished a large and hand
some cafe and is prepared to en-
tertain hundreds of guests on
the European plan only. Here,
too, two people can occupy a
very comfortable room at $500
night piece. For exposition
times these rates are consider
ed very reasonable.
There are many other hotels
in the city of Buffalo, among
which are the BrOezel, the Buck
ingham, the Marlborough, the
Roanoke. the Aberdeen, the
Kenilworth, and others in which
the rates vary according to the
location of rooms.
The Niagara, which has here
tOfOre been used as a large fam
lily hotel is one of the most aris-
tOcratic sections of Buffalo. 1t
is within five minutes of the
business center of the city and
fifteen minutes of the Exposi-
tion grounds. One side of it is
a superb view of Lake Erie and
on the other a large park, the
.. S. barracks and a number of
smaller parks. The location is
very retired and salubrious. A
fine band plays every afternoon
in the park and cool breezeS
from the lake sweep over the
entire building. The rooms are
newly furnished, and a great
many distinguished people have
already engaged suites of rooms
in it. Among these are. the
President Of the United States.
a number, of prominent army
and navy officers, the diplo-
matte corps, many Mexican and
South American officials and
several New York millionaires,
who demand suites Of rooms,
and of course, are prepared to
pay for them. Prices for board
will not be exOrbitant. Re-
ports to the contrary are errO-
neous. Besides, there are a
large number of suburban towns
in easy reach of Buffalo, where
provisions and fruits of every
description are cheap and the
sanitary condition perfect. Buff
falO itself has long been noted
for its exceptionally good hy-
genie conditions.
The Great Falls are accessible
either by trolley, steamboat or
steam cars. The Canadian from
tier can be reached by a charm
ing ride across Lake Erie on a
fine line of steamships. This
line makes connection with a |
scenic route on the Canadian
side that is equal to any in the
world. At least fifty beautiful
suburban towns are within half |
an hours ride of the Exposition
City.
In the face of these facts,
Buffalo in all reason, ought to
be THE summer resort of the
United States and of her more
southern neighborS during the
coming summer. All will re-
ceive a hearty welcome, and ev-
erything that the brain of man
can devise has already been
