An Immense Buldiu!

The new Chantauqua building,
which Hendersonville feels 50
proud, is at last completed and
the finishing stroke Of the paint
brush was made today.
The plans, shape, and construct
ions of the building vary a great
deal from the old famous building.
The front has a large attract
i've Yestibule. and three double
door entrances.
The rostrum is much higher
than the old one, being four feet
high, with dimensions of Is feet
by6Q, and having a large dressing
room at each end. The rostrum
being so high gives the spectators
in the rear a clear view.
There are at present 1, 900 seats
in the building, and there is
room for 500 more.
Judge Blythe, the proprietor
of this structure, has spared
neither labor nor material in max
ing it substantial and safe in
every respect, so that no one need
ever have fear of it falling. One
of the carpenters who has stead
lily been working there, says it
will take heavier SHOWS and sew
erer storms to destroy it than has
ever visited Hendersonville.
This building is a credit to this
town and will furnish ample
room for any entertainment Jud-
ge Blythe sees fit tohave therein
