The Opening Delayed.
McElroy Il Barker had made ella

McElroy Il Barker had made elab-
crate Preparations for the formal
opening of the Harvey Sample Rooms
Saturday evening last, but the storm
of Friday night disarranged their
plans. Wofkmen were engaged in
repairing the roof, and large sec
tion was removed, preparatory to
placing new roofing, when the storm
the most severe of tn year came
and thoroughly soaked the contents
of the rooms on the east side of the
hotel. These happened, too, to be
the ones which had been recently pa
pered, carpeted and refurnished and
n consequence the damage was
quite extensive. Along with the
rest, the electric light plant was
damaged to such an extent that it
was impossible to turn on the lights
for Saturday nights opening, and
the affair was necessarily postponed.
Invitations had been issued and sent
to different towns up and down the
road, and all to 10 purpose.
Weare informed, however that the
proprietors will make another at
tempt to open the new sample rooms
in an appropriate manner this
evening, August lst, at which
time arrangements will be made for a
grand jollification.
Fortune seems to have frowned
upon the efforts of the new manage
ment of the Hotel Harvey to make
of it first class hostelry in every
particular, this being the third time
that damage has resulted from the
elements. But with true western
grit and stick -to-it-iveness they have
after each successive misfortune gone
manfully to work to repair damages
and con ntinue the improvements. In
addition to the repairs and refur-
nishings of the other parts of the
house, they have put in one of the
handsomest bars and accompanying
fixtures ever shipped to this coun try, !,
including billiard and pool tables of
the latest and most approved pat
terms. That their opening Thursday
night may prove a glowing success
is the sincere wish of the many
friends of the promoters, as it is
felt they deserve this and more.
