Well Known Men and Women
Hear Election Results
as They Dine.

AS usual on election night dining in
public became much more than a mere
human necessity. That important in
cident In a days routine became an
entertainment to which the element of
| suspense, relieved from time to time as
| returns were flashed on screen or bel
lowed by megaphone over noisy crowds
in hotels and restaurants. gave added
interest.
Every proprietor OF an eating place
who has arrived as an established pur-
yeyor of food made some arrangements
to furnish his particular public with the
early returns. Even in some places In
the far East Side hungry crowds vera
fed with news from the special extras
Of the evening papers. but in such places
of lesser note the crowds were on the
streets soon after o'clock.
In the hotels and restaurants In Broad
| way, Fifth avenue and Park avenue,
where the lights are brightest and tie
| prices highest, the dinner, starting as
usual at the modish hour of s, was
extended to the supper hour and the
| interval Of four hours between was filed
with the news of what the public had
done to the various candidates.
| At the Plaza. as well as In the dining
rooms Of many of the other hotels and
restaurants, the returns were flashed
upon screen when at intervals of
| fifteen minutes the lights We're lowered
SO as to throw out the news by stereop-
t.con. The screen in the Plaza was
erected in the new Terraced restaurant.
while In the cafe and grill room the
| returns were read to the diners.
