room is so tremendously large that
there's always music at lunch and
dinner. The rotunda is immense in
size and admirably arranged. Like
wise are the ball room, the different
parlors, the writing room, the grill

end TO end OF the property. is an extra
attraction, and when the crowd is
here. and the weather is bright and
balmy. it is ever pleasant spot to
occupy-in the evenings just as well
as throughout the day. The grounds
of the hotel are also eXcellently cared
for and it won't be many days now
before the maise of plants will be IN
bloom and the entire yard present a
veritable picture OF loneliness.
TIE hotels different departments
are bound to be admirably run. No
better crew was ever brought TO Hot
Springs than the one which will hold
forth at the Monarch OF the Glen.
Jacob r. Miller OF Chicago, who Is
undoubtedly the best. and unquestion-
ably the best known steward in
America, will hold forth in his old
role. Hence. it goes without saying
that the tourists will get what they
want; all they want and exactly in
the way they want II Mlller's staff
of aides, notably Chef Henry Giebe,
could not be more skilled.
Danny O'Brien of New York, so
well liked in Hot Springs that he is
really figured a local fixture, will
again serve as room clerk. His aides
will be polite, efficient and attentive.
Prof. John Graham of Chicago, who
scored so heavily with the dancing
set year ago, will again direct the
hotels orchestra. His musicians are
rare, efficient lot s. B, Motley re-
turns to his old position as chief OF
the bath house. That Is positive proof
that the bathers win have no COM
plaints 10 register and that that de
partment will be exceliently run.
Mrs. Co1roy, housekeeper par excel
lence. of course, is back. The head
barman this year is AL Doherty
which means that the service will be
even better than usual. Master
dewey will again run the cigar and
news stand.

stated President Gaines last night.
Eyes, am very anxious to see TIE
racing bill passed. Let Hot Springs
have two well run meetings, spring
and fall, thus extending the season at
both ends, and I don't know OF a
single interest in the city but would
prosper.
