with the Appoint

, women numbering more than 225 people
inclusive of guests from outside the city,
last night formally celebrated the open
ing OF the new Hotel Barre on Washing
ton street. and surely a more fitting ded-
ication OF the new hostelry could not
have been desired. Before and after the
dinner hour and exercises, the new hos
teiry was thrown open from the base
ment to the top floor for the benefit of
visitors, most of whom were thus given
their first opportunity to inspect the
rooms and their appointments. Every
thing about the house was as bright as
a new sixpence, the interior was bril-
liantly illuminated and no pains were
spared, either by the host and hostess
or the building committee in making the
visitors most welcome.
| Soon after 7 o'clock the guests were
escorted from the lobby to the dining
room, Bruce's orchestra playing the open
ing overture. Long rows CT tables amply
accommodated the diners and an aug
mented corps of mattresses greatly facili-

criterion, richly deserves the favorable
comments that were heard among the
diners at the first dinner
Attractive menus with a cover photo
graph of the hotel and containing the
list of courses and the order of exercises
were at each place, and these favors were
quite as warmly received as the carna-
tion favors distributed later in the even
ing, together with cigars. The menu
contained the following entries: Grape
fruit maraschno; potage mulligatawny;
salted nuts, stuffed pimentos, crisp eel
cry; boiled chicken halibut / Aurore;
pommes Saratoga; roast young native
turkey stuffed, cranberry sauce; mashed
potatoes and new string beans; fruit
salad a la Hotel Barre; fresh strawber-
ries and cream; vanilla ice, assorted
cake; American cheese. roquefort cheese;
saltines, coffee.
Messages of felieitation characterized
the afterdinner exercises and commend
able spirit of good viii toward the man.

TO cooperate with the manager and the
hotel company for the development of
the hotel business in Barre were mani
tested many times while the exercises
were in progress. II was fitting that
the speakers list should include the
architect, the contractor and the build
