A FAMOUS HOTEL.

The Astor House management, Broadway.
Vesey and Barclay Streets, this city, celebra-
ted the seventy-fifth anniversary of that hos
telry on July 4th, when each of its guests was
presented with Handsomely engraved card
giving brief history of the laying of its
corner stone and events in connection there
with on July 4, 1884. The editor of the Marine
journal has occasion to think well of the Astor
House, as he was married there forty years
ago (July 10, 1852 and is pleased to be able to
inform the friends Of Mrs. Norton, formerly
Isabel Freeman, leading lady with the great
tragedian Edwin Forrest in the late sixties.
that she is still living happily with her sailor
husband. For twenty-five years, when con-
venient, the writer has always found his way
to the Astor House rotunda for lunch, where
the American style of cooking was made fam
Gus by the Stetsons during and after the civil
war and continued by Allen and Dam and
afterward by the late Frank Allen; who brought
this house up to standard never before reach
ed in popularity. Since the latter's death
manager A. H. Thurston, now proprietor, has
guarded its reputation for excellence in cuisine
and comfort most successfully, SO that it is
of well-cooked food and convenience in loca-
tion.-Capt. George L. Norton in the Marine
Journal.
The writer's recollections of the Astor
House date ten years back of Capt. Norton's.
In the SOS this was the leading and fashionable
hotel OF New York city. 1t inaugurated 5
o'clock dinner, at which the lady guests were
expected to appear in full dress, and the din
ing room was very handsome apartment for
those days. The proprietor then. and for years
after was Col. Stetson, Maine man, and he
was succeeded by his sons, but remained at the
hotel and delighted to exchange "reminiscences
with his old-time guests. In the late eos or
early 7Os it was found that under the Ameri-
can plan the hotel was no longer profitable and
a change was made to the European plan.
Allen & Davis soon after succeeded the Stet-
sons as proprietors. The basement was turned
into lunch room and restaurant, where YOU
could have your chops or steaks broiled before
you, and meals were served la carte in the
dining room up stairs. The proximity of the
hotel to the financial district and Newspaper
Row brought it large and profitable business
and the rooms were always in demand. Fre-
quently in registering in the morning YOU
would have to wait until night for room.
The hotel was built of granite and was similar
in design to the fremont and the Revere in
Boston and the Battle in Mobile.
