there are now many. It contained sixty-one
suites Of from two to four rooms EACH all

Timely "reminiscences Of Old

IN a stormy day in October 1888, a
woman, protected from the rain by
a long storm coat and accompanied
by another woman. walked up to the desk
of the Sherwood Hotel in New York and
asked to be shown some apartments.
1t takes a rather long memory to fix the
site OF the Sherwood. which has for many
years existed only in memory. 1t occupied
the plot at Fifth avenue and Forty fourth
street. where Delmonico's now stands. II
had before then been the site of the family
residence of John Sherwood, who conceived
the idea of a high class hotel for the ac-
commodation of families. John Sherwood
was one of the incorporators of the Fifth
Avenue Bank, and the first banking rooms
of this institution were in the basement
under the Sherwood. Employees and officials
on it's opening day numbered only twelve
individuals.
But to get back to our story The clerk
in charge of rooms started to show the
stranger an apartment on the fourth floor.
but she refused TO look at It, saying that
she never went above the second floor In
any hotel The clerk accordingly took her
to a suite of four rooms on the avenue
side but with these she found fault because
they were apt to be noisy. A similar suite
i'm the rear she refused to look at and she
was so difficult to please that the clerk sus-
pected her OF being one of the lockers"
who came TO kill an idle hour He decided
TO floor her and threw open the door Of the
handsomest suite on the second floor, an
nouncng that the rent of the four rooms
was 5000 a week.
These are something like what 1 want"

Pequot House of New London Conn. Among
the guests were men prominent in the affairs
of the city and their families. Included were
]. III. Rutter, John b. butcher and II. NJ
F1agler.
The year 1880 saw the construction of
several hotels TO serve what was being
recognized or a want-family accommoda-
tion Thougn the older hotels all had per-
manent guests, they were mostly bachelors
or elderly couples who were content to live
in one large room without private bath or
any of the conveniences the new structures
provided.
The Grand Hotel at Broadway and Thirty
first street was built and opened with this
idea in view, at least in part. Accommoda-
tions were provided for families by many
suites with private baths This house was
built and owned by the Higgins estate and
for many years II was considered fine ex-
ample of the hotels conducted on tho Euro
pean plan. Henry Milford Smith was its
first proprietor.
Other houses similarly conducted were the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. the Windsor and the
buckingham hotels. The first was built on
tho site of the Madison Cottage. which was
a famous road house down to the beginning
OF the nineteenth century.
The Fifth Avenue was completed and
opened In 1859 and was at once successful,
drawing clients from all quarters OF the
globe. The house served five meals a day
and the price of food and room was 81 then
considered very high. It's rooms were large,
fitted with walnut furniture and carpets Of
velvet and body Brussels, laid with borders.
The corridors were twelve feet wide running
around the square OF the building and hav-
ing guest rooms on either side
The main entrance was on the Broadway
side, through n wide tiled corridor fitted

let me state here and now that the Ian
guage of the fair valleys drained by the
Piazza is terrible tongue to get mad in.
Fortunately, friends, it was proved in
the end that the fight was all mistake
and no more. All the time the bottles and
bricks flew the strikers were trying for
to adjust their troubles with the bosses by
intellectual argument up in Madison
Square Garden. These lads that let fly

thousands going groggy with joy when
they see the great little peace man, wearing

TO make our friend feel at home we
are reciting the best circus poem we
- ever wrote. 1t goes like this:
The circus is a place where one
May see lot of things,
And each of EN- is heaps Of fun
The acrobats on swings,
The clowns that romp in baggy pants,
The man who swallows swords,
The tigers and the el-ephants.
The Ieopards-there are hordes
OF freaks and beasts that tickle me,
But am underbred
And best of all / like to
The monkey scratch his head!
Some go to circuses to drink
The pretty lemonade
That bubbles red and green and pink
And many another shade
Some go to see the bearded dame
Whose whiskers touch her knees.
Some to observe the charmer tame
The ten foot rattler. These
Are very interesting things,
But, as before I said.

out until the show business gets little bet

Most of 'em have gone out of business. The
big circuses cover the big towns and the
little towns near by. But there's lots o. little
towns too far away and that's where the
bush league circus comes in. When times
are good the show business is fine in these
little burgs, but everything is so slow now
you couldn't draw crowd in them places

There is still time TO do this, but we are
