reeded work, tinted soft green, which
very successfully emphasizes the de-
sign. On the fore end of the saloon
is a Mason & Hamlin organ, with stool,
music cabinets, and over mirror al

of Dove marble, edged with metal rail.

rors on back, with clock and barometer
respectively overhead, are set in pretti-
Nv carved frames. Between the doors
are two handsomely loaded glass pan
els. the subjects being marine in the
one and landscape in the other, treated
conventionally, the effect being obtain
ed entirely by colored glass without
stained work, and they contribute ma
terially to the artistic effect of the sa-
loon. The ceiling is a design in anag-
lypta, picked out in color, and relieved
with gold. Upholstery work of seats
, and chairs is a green figured moquette,
curtains and table-covers are in gold.

with gold. The first-class music sa-
! loon, which is situated in forward

more striking by two full-length oval
