ECHOES.

At the dinner there were over one
hundred individual containers of oyS-
ter cocktail served, decorated with
stick of celery and a slice of lemon
hung on the rim. The oysters were
from the Mississippi reefs; delicious
in flavor, and numbered to nearly
one thousand. These were presented
by Mr.. George C. Firsching, of the
Peerless Oyster Co., as compliment.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. ii. j.
Thurston, president of the Thurston
Turtle Canning Co., several gallons
of delicious turtle soup were sent over
to Elmwood in compliment to the
opening day.
Among the few guests that re-
manned over at the Manor TIN the
next day or two were MIR. and Mrs.
| l.. N. Grandiean, and Mr.. and Mrs.
e. V. Richards. Mr.. Richards IS gen
eral manager of the Saenger inter
ests; he is the "big noise" of the BUS
mess, although unobtrusive and mod
est. MIR. Grandjean is the publicity
agent.
Publicity Agent Grandjean pro-
poses to have ten thousand copies
souvenir post cards showing Elm
wood Manor struck off in attractive
colors. This will prove splendid ad-
vertisement for Bay St. Louis, to say
nothing of the enterprising spirit be-
hind the move.
Mrs. E. V. Richards, Mrs. L. II.
Grandjean and Mrs. Foster Olroyd
were highly comlimented on their
success in furnishing "Elmwood.D
1t was these ladies who purchased
the furnihings for the place. The
Saenger Amusement has such CONN
dence in their judgment and ability
to buy that they were given carte
blanche. Their efforts in this dlrec-
ton amply filled every expectation
Although Elmwood Manor presents
an entirely different appearance irons
what it was, and many improvements
have been made entailing lavish
expenditure, the management states
that there is much more n store. One
of the notable improvem for the
main building. This will be made
the pavilion extending back from the
main building. This will be made
double in width and maple floor laid
down. This will serve as the sum-
mer dining room and when cleared
dance floor for the many guests VINO
will spend the best parts Of the year
there. Costs seem to be no object
for the Saenger Amusement COM
pany The management is always So
licitous for the satisfaction and gem
eral wefare of its employees.
Don Phillippini, the leader of the
orchestra at the Strand, New Orleans,
was conspicuous for his absence. de
was in Shreveport, La, for that day,
where he led the great band for the
opening of the Louisiana State Fair.
Although unable to be present dur
ing the day, Mayor r. w. Webb, of
Bay ST. Louis, who was called to Pas
lcagoula on business, wired his con-
gratulations, etc, and expressed his
regret at not being able to be pres
ent. However, on his return home
that evening, he visited the Manor
and was a special guest.
Mr. julius Saenger, president of the
Saenger Amusement Company, stat
ed to The Echo: .'We have certainly
selected an ideal spot in, our purchase
of Elmwood Manor, and in coming to
| Bay st. Louis we have made no mis-
take We received such rouslng
welcome and such a spirit of coop
Grafton has been evinced, that our
satisfaction in locating here is made
doubly."
Mrs. w. H. Bouslog, from whom
Elmwood was purchased, was the re-
cipient of special invitation to be
guest OF honor for the day, but called
to Springfield, Mo-, recently by the
lserious illness of daughter there,
