Freeman was summoned to the kitchen
where the general employees. including
the dining room and kitchen help anc
the bell boys, had gathered. William
Smith. the house chef, in behalf of the
employees, presented Mr.. Freeman with
n handsome gold-headed ebony walking
stick, and in a short speech told him of
the regret which the house employees felt
at his departure from the city. at the
same time expressing sincere wish for
his success in his present undertaking
A little later in the day Mr. Freeman
was presented with leather travelling
bag by T. II. Murphy, proprietor of the
house, and Mrs Murphy. In the even
ing Mr.. Freeman was again coralled and
j. II. Dunn. on behalf Of the male em
ployes of the hotel presented him with
handsome solid gold pen knife The
knife Is n beauty, having a diamond
set In one side. and on the other side is
engraved Mr.. Frcemans name with the
date. Mr.. Dunn spoke Of the good fellow
ship felt while Mr.. Freeman had been
manager and Mr.. Freeman responded
with feeling.
Mr.. Freeman, with his family, left
Monday morning for Albany. y. Y, where
he has leased the Knickerbocker apart
ments, which are located at the corner
OF Dove and Jay streets. The Knicker-
booker has in connection with the apart
ments the largest dining room in Albany,
in connection with which Mr.. Freeman
will run a cafe. Mr.. Freeman has been
In the hotel game since early boyhood.
Previously to coming to this city he was
proprietor of the Columbian Hotel at
Thousand Island Park on the st. Law
renee. 1t was in hotel on the same
site as the Columbian where he began
his hotel career as messenger. The hotel
was finally destroyed by fire. The two
years at the New Sherwood since Mr..
Freeman took over the management have
been most successful, and If his present
undertaking is proportionately successful
with his past experience the wish OF his
many Burlington friends for his future
success Is sure to be gratified.
