spend at home. There viii be Two
football games on the Casino grounds
today and two performances at the
Academy of Music to say nothing Of

going outside of the city.
The William and Mary Hampton
Sidney gridiron battle here this after
noon promises TO be- one of the very

for tit meant new equipment. The pro-
prietors began by re-decoratins and re-
furnishing ll0 guest rooms. The walls
were beautifully tinted and hung with ex-
qpisite pictures. The floors were laid
with Wilton velvet carpets. Tables were
furnished with electric reading lamps,
harmoni2ine in color with the design OF
the rooms. Long peer mirrors replaced
former small mirrors. New mahogany

rooms, while Others were furnished with

The proprietors OF The Albany, Samuel

They believe in the triumph OF ideas.

This answer gives the keynote of Mr.

him to the front in the Western business

Mr.. Eppstein, the other proprietor, is
OF the same persuasion. Nothing is too
