 agement

Every detail in connection with the opening of the Tutwiler hotel this after noon at ? o'clock has been looked after. George W. Traylor, Jr., local manager, announced last night that every fern was in place, all equipment of the kitchen was in position. every empIoye was at his post and every possible thing done fer the opening of the s2225,ooo hotel which is the pride of Birmingham. and which will be thrown open to the people this after noon.
 After working all day yesterday, D NJ Johnson, the hard working secretary of the United Hotels company, lessees of the hotel: Lyman Cleveland and the fur niture artist, MT. Rockwell, as well as MT. Traylor, finally succeeded in placing every piece of furniture.
 Following the accomplishment of this work the officers excused themselves to anxious supplicants for various favors and enjoyed a swim at the Young Mems Christian association with Fred Wells, the general contractor for the building.
 The opening will be attended by hun dreds and hundreds of persons. The throngs are expected 70 gather at 9 o'clock and they are expected to swamp the hotel until o'clock, when the table d hote dinner will begin.
 Only Lower Floors Open
 The officials of the hotel will be on hand to show the visitors through the first floor, the messanine and the ball room floor. No one will be allowed above the ball room floor. The Tutwiler decorative scene was blocked out to use a term of MT. Cleveland, in sections. In other words the corner room on the third floor is duplicated to the roof and so on over the building. So that when a person passes over the second floor and third floors and sees that he will have a com piete idea of the remaining floors.
 MT. Traylor had received up until late hour last night reservations for nearly 400 persons for the table d. hote dinner. beginning at o'clock. The number is ex- pected to be greatly augmented by chance dinners and by reservations that are ex- pected to be made during the day.
 The opening of the Tutwiler is an epoch
 in the history of Birmingham It is the result of many years planning, scheming. hopes and ambitions. There has been nothing left undone to make the place elegant, efficient and attractive. The peo- pie of this city are well able to say that there is no hotel in the south so conn pletely equipped, so thoroughly modern and elegantly furnished as the Tut wiler.
