The Grent Hotel City.

An expert who has studied the hotel
business in every principal country of
two hemispheres says that New York
cares for three times as many persons
in hotels as does London, six times as
many as does Paris and ten times as
many as does any other city that can
be named. There are 1876 large first
class hotels in Manhattan alone-more
than 300 including the smaller ones
and at the rate of construction at pres
ent the calculation has been made that
within twenty years there will be Oh
Manhattan Island alone 3S6 hotels of
400 rooms each or Of greater size.
Graded wherever it may have been.
the hostelry art has surely found its
home in the American metropolis, and
one needs no further figures than those
just given to furnish explanation Of
the amazing evolution of the hotel in
New York city. With a floating popu-
lation each day ranging from 10000 to
185,OOO, according to the railroad pas
senger accountants, for the varioug
seasons Of the year, there is little won
der that New York has become the
city of earth most conspicuous for It's
hotels.-Success.
