InfrnlU on the Hate Situation The New Rockport Line Unfortunate. There Is excellent authority for statins that the Thomas syndicate, which owns the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago, is figuring to secure control of the Indiana & Illir.ois Southern, with which. the Monon connects at- Switz City. Twice recently have Vice President McDoel and Chief Engineer Hall, of tho L., N.A. &. C, been over the road from Effingham to Swltz City, eolng over It once last week. Should the Monon secure control of this road it would enable it to reach the Linton and Duzger coal liclJ?, tapping some of the best coal veins cf Illinois. The Indiana & Illinois Southern Is ninety-one mile3 in length, extending from Switz City to Effingham. The road Is in wretched physical condition and will reed extensive repairs. The Monon can use the liztt rails It is taking up on the Indianapolis division, replacing them with a Leavier rail in relaying the track of the Indiana & Illinois Southern, and is probably the best prepared to take control of the property of any line connecting with it. It Is said that parties interested in the road ere willing to turn it over on very reasonable terms, and that within a short time the deal will probably be effected. Fortnnnte in Its Selection. In passenger circles the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Is considered one of the hardest roads on which to give satisfactory service in this territory. The general passenger agent of the line must constantly be on the alert, a3 ho has the Big Pour, the Pennsylvania lines and the Chicago & Eastern to compete with. The Monon has always been fortunate in securing men for Its general passenger agents who would fight for e ery Inch of ground -which they thought the road was ntitled to and the percentage of passengers it has carried proves this assertion. Wm. S. Baldwin. E. O. McCorroick and James Barker, former general passenger agents, were of this type, and Frank Reed, the present general passenger agent, is fully as aggressive as the former general passenger ' agents and is highly fpoken of by the superior officers of tho road. One of the Chicago papers, in speaking of Mr. Heed's ability, saya: "Frank J. Heed, general passenger agent of the Monon, is an old newspaper man. That Is how It is that he is such a hustler. From newspaper work he graduated to be city ticket agent of the company he still serves and from that position he was promoted to the one he now hold3. Frank has stopped publishing1 his earnings. They snowed such steady increases ail through tho period of depression that his competitors were ready to -wear that he had secret deals with every pcalper In the country and they made such a fuss about his ears that for peace and quiet's sake he had to stop telling people how much he was making for the road. It Is but fair to add that f.ir all fus3 nobody was able to prove any of the assertions made concerning secret deals. Mr. Reed Is perhaps the only general passenger agent .who, during the period of depression, was able to show a constant Increase in earnings, even when comparisons were made with the heaviest traffic of the world's fair year. He has reason to thank his stars for the training he received as a newspaper man." Question for Ralliray Kmployes. The Journal recently printed some remarks by V. T. Malott. who has given a good deal of attention to the railroad problem, in which he took the ground that none were more' Interested in the question of tnalntenanc3 of rates than the employe, as low rates meant low wages and a general curtailment of expenses. For the last twenty years the margin of profit on transportation has steadily declined without apparently a single check during the time, and the extent of the decline, if measured In actual dollars, would be almost inconceivably large. He then remarked that 61 per cent, of the total operating expenses of a road, as shown by actual figures relating to the best managed roads of the country, goes in wages to the employes, and would the railway employe stop to consider the importance of the maintenance cf reasonable rates he would be alarmed over the tendency to reduce rates for carrying freights or passengers below a basis which left some profit to the road. Below are given statistics published by an Eastern financial paper, which show the proportion of the operating expenses borne by labor in the case of terf leading roada cf the country, fully demonstrating the correctness of the position taken by the business man and exrailway fttficial above cuoted: PerCent.

A few week3.ago work was actually bepun on tho long-talked-of Indianapolis Kockport &. Chattanooga road, in which, at one time, a number of citizens of Indianapolis were Interested, but became discouraged after putting up the money to make the survey and dropped out. Mention was made a few days ago that the men who had been doing the grading where the work was begun had become uneasy and were alarmed about their pay. The report ocmes frdru Rockport, which was to be one of tho terminals on the Ohio, that the authorities of that city are trying to arrange to send back the Italians brought from Chicago there to work on the road. It is stated that the contractors, Messrs, Cameron and Patrick, about three weeks sro left for Chicago, saying they were golrig to complete arrangements for money to pay eft the indebtedness created. Various times were set for their return. Tuesday being the last day fixed upon. When the contractors failed to show up Tuesday the mutteringa of tho men grew into a ftorm, which broke out Wednesday. The Rockport people have about abandoned the Jiope they have had of the road's being built ar.d many of them are loud in their denunciations of the contractors. The township in which Rockport Is located voted a subscription of aheut $10,000 and Grandview township $12.00(). In all about $150,000 fcad been subscribed by the townshtps along the line between Rockport and Mitchell, about eishtv miles. . The Rockport commissioners had agreed to advance $20,000 when the iron was delivered and the balance 'hen the road wa completed to Grundview, It now develops that there wn no money behind the scheme when it was besun two rrionths ago and the Rockport people think, the contractors onlv hoped to get enough "ork done and then get hold cf their bonds. As it 1, every bit of work so far done ha been done on credit and the Roeknort people and the Italian laborers are out of pocket from tt,0j0 to $30,OUO. The Hate. Situation. M. E. Ingalls, president of the Big Four and t;ie Chesapeake A Ohkv has expressed himself as follows in regard to the new rate ajreement cf the trunk lints: 'The ratt management U a cood thing. I Le-

lleve it will be carried cut and rates put up on July 8. It Is good, also, because it shows that the presidents can control matters when they have a mind to. The strong lines will gt mc: than their share at first, but if the weak lines stand it for sixty days it will show what differential rate they ought to have to give them a fair share. .Sixteen men, representing all the important lines, threshed the matter Ojpt carefully for six hours, and arrived at an agreementwhich is much stronger than the money penalty which they (excepting Chesapeake & Ohio) voted for at a previous meetingand which was a clear violation of the law." The Philadelphia Pres3 quotes a Pennsylvania official as saying: "The railroad ofncials of this city are in better spirits than they have been for some time past, and they contend that from nov. on there will be no cutting of rates, or. If there is any, it will be of such a small character that no notice will be taken of it. They take this view owing to the agreement nerving been cigYied by all the presidents, who teem anxious to maintain the rates and derive more benefit from the business.." Advices from Chicago are to the effect fhat the rate situation on both east and west-bound business has greatly improved and that the feeling among railroad men at that center is that better rates will rule during the balance of the year. The new rate on grain and grain products will be on the . basis of 20 cents, Chicago to New York, which is called the authorized commodity rate, although the regular rate Is 23 cents. The lake and rail routes are 3 cents lower than the rates quoted by all-rail routes, and owing to this, the managers of these lines have decided not to make any reduction, although at the present time the rate by rail is the same as by lake and rail. The regular rate on grain and products is 25 cents, but, owing to the competition with the lake and rails, the various companies are autnor ized to mike a special one of 20 cents per 100 pounds. Personal. Local and General Notes. The Pennsylvania has put on a new train between Philadelphia and Atlantic City, to make the run in seventy-five minutes. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton hauled an extra sleeping car last evening carrying a party going to Mountain Lake Park. Officials say that double the number of people were handled yesterday at tho Union Station as compared with the . Fourth of last year. The Erie now haute a through Boston car from Cincinnati. The 4 d. m. train of the

Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton from In dianapolis connects with this train at Hamilton. One of the Class It freight engines of the Pennsylvania line was taken into tho shop for repairs on Wednesday, after having made a running record of 96,200 miles without a break. Both the Wagner and the Pullman sleeping car companies are furnishing the Indianapolis lines, with better equipment than formerly. One of the officials says that the business of their lines is now double what it was three years ago. , The Chesapeake & Ohio reports for May gross earnings of SS33.811, an Increase of $J62,0!1; expenses. $564,690, an Increase of $149,783, and net, $269,120, an Increase of $112,228: and for eleven months to May 31, gross, $8,817,536, an increase of $471,746; expenses, $5,961,198, an increase of $C94,708w As a result of the recent conference between railroad presidents in New York city a meeting of the railroad freight committees . of Cleveland, Pittsburg, Wheeling; Youngstown and Akron was held in Cleveland. An agreement was reached that freight rates be restored to schedule figures and that no more rebates be granted. Each road . will . show Its contracts when any question as to what the rates are' arises. The locomotive department of the Pennsylvania on Tuesday sent five new express engines from the Altoona shops, which are to haul the heavy fast trains between Philadelphia and New York. They are of the latest Class P type, with eighty-inch driving wheels and enormous boiler capacity, and equipped with all modern appliances. The next new work taken up at the Altoona shops will be the building of a number of heavy fast freight engines for the Panhandle and the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago. - A new railroad line, which will open up150,000 acres of hardwood timber land in northeastern Mississippi, is about to be constructed by a company consisting of H. L. Underwood," of Birmingham, Ala., and others. The total length of the road will be seventy-seven miles. It will extend from Grenada to . Nettleton, Miss., and connect with the Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham. th Mobile & Ohio and the Illinois Central lines In that portion of the State. About forty miles of the right of way has alreadyvbeen gradedv A YERY DRY HOLIDAY S A LOON KEEPERS GENERALLY OBSERVED THE NICHOLSON LAW. Philip fcnpf Proposes to Test the Restanrnnt Section William Mohs Had a'Ueer Cellar. Yesterday was ' the dryest day this-city has ever seen. The -workings of the Nicholson law were clearly demonstrated. The arrests for the day were the fewest in the history of the . department, but three persons being ;arrested. Two of them were sent in from North Indianapolis and their cases are said to be "bottle drunks" 'and not due to any violations of the law. The other arrest was that of Philip Zapf, of 42 Virginia avenue, who courted arrest by opening his saloon for restaurant purposes in the morning. Zapf has a number of regular boarders, whom he feeds in the rear of the xaloon. He contends that he has a right to maintain a restaurant if he does not violate the liquor law and he proposes to contest that question in the courts. Superintendent Powell was highly delighted last evening with the result of the first holiday under' the new law. . He says the saloon men gave him. no concern during the day and as a class they obeyed the law. He says it was demonstrated that all the talk about the salcon men intending to place themselves in open defiance of the law is a mistake. Tho drug stores gave more concern yesterday than did the saloons. A number of places had to be watched. Mr. Powell says that he will insist that the drug stores obey the law, especially' as the saloon men have to. He Is going to search a number of stores where he thinks liquor is kept for retail purposes, as the law gives him the right to inspect all places where he thinks there are violations. . Captain Campbell received information yesterday that the law was being violated at No. 15 Shelby street, a saloon owned by William. Mohs. He went down cellar without knocking, walked in. unlocking the door by a key which chanced , to tit. A keg-of beer -was found on tap and there .were evidences of fresh sales. Mohs fled and later appeared at headquarters with tho story that he had been robbed. When faced by Captain Campbell he asked to be arrested, but he was laughed at and told that Mayor Denny would attend to his case. The evidence was that Mohs was violating the law and Mr. Denny will be asked to revoke his license. Hereafter in all cases where there are. indications cf violations the Mayor will be asked to investigate llAl?of the down town saloons could be viewed yesterday, for there were no screens nor anyone ; in them. It was lctrce1d change over former holidays. The hotels did ivot serve liquors 'with meals and the Swn was try. The bottle habit, that is the habit of carrying liquor around in bottles, is expected ;to - increase now but with the enforcement of the new law the police anticipate a decrease ia drunkenness and -fights. ., Match' Between McLeod and Bapttste. A wrestling match has .been arranged between Dan McLeod and George Baptiste, who was here during last winter with Martin Julian's company. The match will take place at English's Opera House next Friday night. The terms are the same as the recent match between McLeod and Herbert Hale. McLeod must throw Baptiste, three times in an hour of actual wrestling time, the time of rests between bouts being deducted. If Baptiste succeeds in throwing Mcfieod once within an hour he wins the match. It will be catch-as-catch-can. Baptiste is said" to be the champion of his class in France, and is known to be a fine wrestler. There is hot more than three or four pounds difference in the weights of the men, and that is in favor of Baptiste. This match wa3 arranged to take place In St Louis several days ago. but Baptiste's backers, after putting up $200 of the $500 s'de bet. learned of some of McLeod s work and refused to put up any more money. McLeod refused to go to St. Louis for this amount, and ttld Baptiste that he, would Claim the forfeit of the $200. Baptiste then arre'd toccme here, and the date was set for nzzt. v riday night. The winner will get all ths beta and receipts at the door.

A GEE AT CYCLING DAY

THOUSANDS ATTEND THE FAIR GROUND PICNIC AND RACES. Blgr Parade In the Morning;, with Lots of Noise Slow Time at the Races. 'Bicycle day was a success even to a jnuch greater extent than the most sanguine of its promohrs anticipated. Bicycles were everywhere yesterday, and the man,-, woman -or child that did not ride one was not looked upon as properly celebrating the country's anniversary. The pirads in the morning was a great success, but. cn account of the short notice thene were not as nfany people in line as there would bave, been if more extended notice had been given. The Interest of the day,' however, centered at the fair grounds, wnere many people took advantage of ths opportunity offered to form picnic parties and take their dinners to the grounds. Early in the morning peopIexbegah J arriving, well supplied with heavily loaded baskets, and "at noon the shady nooks and many of tha pavilions were filled with merry picnickers. It was this feature of the uay'3 programme that was the most material aid in drawing the large crowd. Fully seven thousand ptople were In the grounds at the time th, racas bean. -he committee tht had charge of the manage-, ment was composed of Fred Patte,.A. C Newby, Tom Hay, II. T. Hearty ad Bert Willits. They received the congratulations of many of the people of the State, that are Interested in bicycle racing. Their work was praised on all sides. On account of the failure of several former race meets this one was undertaken with some doubts and misgivings, but the result has shown what Indianapolis cyclers can oo. The street-car service was not all that was expected, and many hundrals of people were late in getting out orv tha. account. The crowd was much larger than was anticipated that proper facilities had not been provided. The races were run without tiny hitch, and with few accidents to :nar the pleasure. There was no ood ti.ne made, except on a tandem by LumsJen and Levy, ard in the mile novice. The novices, having r.cver raced before, did not know the tricks cf the old riders, and started out to ride and make time. They finished the mile nearly bunched in 2:31 1-3, which was better than In any of the other raes, except tho last mile of the five-mile race, whicn was made In 2:26. The slow lime and lagging on the track caused considerable dissatisfaction, which finally came out in the form of loud hisses when the two-mile championship race was run. It took 4:20 to make the first mile. As soon as the start Was made the seven riders formed two lines next to the pole and began a gait that seemed' tq be slow enough for an all-day run. Murmurs of disapproval were heard from the grand stand, -and as the men ' passed on the first mile they were greeted by loud hisses. There was talk among the managers of calling in the riders and compelling them to make another start, but the referee decided that as there had been no limit placed on the race the' riders could not be called back. After that a time limit was placed- on all races. In the Class B events some good time was expected, but Lumsden was satisfied to allow Fisher or Clemens to set a pace until the stretch was reached and then forge ahead and win. . Tom David seemed to have bad luck from the beginning. He was entered for the second race, but could not start because of some defect or 'break about his wheel. He came to the scratch for the "Indianapolis championship, but just as the start was made, before he had gone five feet, hl3 rear sprocket broke. For the next "race in which he was entered he secured another wheel. Shortly after passing the eighth the man next to him attempted to reach a small lever under the saddle to change his gear. In doing so he allowed his wheel to wobble-a little and , struck David's wheel. Both went down and were run ver by several others. : No one was -seriously hurt, although all were bruised more or less. . In the mile race for boys under sixteen. Ralph Howland was thrown by ' another wheel striking him. He lay on the' ground' as if he was insensjble. This happened at the east end of the grand stand. Several people ran to him and found that he was not seriously hurt, but was momentarily stunned. One big man picked-him up asif he were a mere babe and started to carry him off. The boy recovered himself arid asked to be allowed to walk. His right arm was badly bruised and scraped. Several others had falls and received bruises. The summary of the races is as follows: Mile Novice W. J. Overdurf first. Earl Brattain second, Eugene Buchler third, Albert F. Zearing fourth. Time, 2:311-5. v Quarter Mile, State L, A. W. Championship W. T. Bonneld first. Marion Black, Fort Wayne, second; C. E. .Miller, Anderson, third: O. T. Burke, Indianapolis, fourth. Time, :35 4-5. Half Mile, Class B A. E.

Miller second, Bonlield third, Hause fourth. Time, 13:00. Between the races W. II. Barber, of Rochester, N. Y., showed some fancy riding on the ordinary wheel. There seemed to be nothing that he could not do. on it. He had perfect control of the wheel and it made no difference when he lost hia handle bars and the backbone and small wTheel and finally the front fork, leaving nothing but the front wheel. and pedals. He rode, fully as well as when he had the entire machine. The event closed with a race between Tony Boy, a pacing stallion owned by A. C. Newby, and a tandem mounted by Lumsdem and Levy. The tandem seemed to be able to beat the horse easily, but the hor5e made a. spurt at the end of the first heat and lost it by only a tandem length. The time was 2:312-5. The next heat was more exciting and Tony Boy Eushed the tandem much harder. Rememering their narrow, finish the riders did not wait so long to make their finishing spurt. Tony Boy set a pace at the beginning that made hard work. The tandem won by about one or two seconds. Time. 2:15 4-5. The managers of this meeting are so well pleased with its success that already arrangementsare being mad? looking to the holding of another meeting here in September, which will be on the National Circuit and will draw many of the crack riders of the countrv. Prizes for yesterday were of small value and could not be expected to draw fast riders. At the time the meeting was proposed it was not thought that sufficient Interest could be aroused to Justify puttlpg up more valuable prizes. The experience of -yesterday has taught the managers that first-class race meets can be held here and that the only requisite now to having record-breaking meetings is to hang up prises of sunTclent value to attract the fast men. Tnts will be done the next meeting. Labor day has been mentioned as an opportune time for the meeting, when another all-day picnic could be held. BICYCLES ON PARADE. " - Seven Hundred Estimated ' to lie In Line Fanciful Costumes. It is no unusual sight' to see two bicycles, three' bicycles? or even six bicycles in one bunch, but to, see six or" seven hundred bicycles all at 'one ''time is an unusual sight. Thousands of people came down town yesterday morning to see such a sight, f on the wheelmen began, their celebration nf the day by a parade, the largest ever given; in this city. There were not' quite so many riders in line as had been expected, but the number was sufficiently large to make a parade several. blocks in length.. Lens before' the time for starting Mississippi street near the Statehouee was blockaded with bicycles and their owners. Some one suggested that it was an excellent opportunity, for the license inspector to ascertain what per cent, of -Indianapolis cyclists hzrrz 11-

censes. The people who came down town expressly for the purpose of seeing the parade were given an opportunity to Judge of the number of wheelmen in the city. Probably three hundred riders started with the procession at 8:20 o'clock, and the dumber grew as the line moved, until there were an estimated seven hundred in line. A brass band on a wagon led the way for the wheelmen. Tom Hay acted as marshal of the day, giving his orders from a high seat upon the wagon. He was dressed in white from his head to his feet. Fred Patee, dressed likewise, with the exception of his auburn beard, assisted, and . the procession moved upon time. Tho band played popular and patriotic airs, the boys made 'alt the noise possible and the celebration was worthy of the Fourth. A number of ladies rode In the parade, tome of whom wore bloomers. One young wooian appeared in . knickerbockers, and two or three young men burlesqued the costumes worn by the young women. There were two or three clown riders in line, and. a number of wheels were. decorated in a striking manner. All of the cyclists carried Mags and one rider, to show his patriotism, appeared dressed in the stars and stripes. . At the most prominent points there were great crowds to witness the spectacle, and the appearance cf the band and 'Torn Hay was a signal for the discharge of fireworks. Nearly all the buildings along the line of march were decorated, and there were crowds In many of the windows. The revolver seemed to be a very popular method cf making a noise, and scores of thera were discharged into the air. as the . parade F.ssed. In line there were all sorts and kinds of bicycles; from the modern racer, to the old-time ordinary. Some of the riders brought forth their old wheels probably for the noise they made. Most of the young ladies appeared In the front of the parade. The small boy' was everywhere, and the officers .'f the day had trouble, in keeping him in line. It was a great, day, and by 'the paradet and the crowd which came to witness it. it as seen that cycling 3 still popular an t, the extermination of the bicycle would l'ave quit a vacuum in thf Indianapolis world. - The parade moved east on Washington stieet to New Jersey, north to Ohio, west to Hindis, i south to Washington, east to Pennsylvania, nwth to; Seventh -and out to the fairgrounds.. Many of the riders withdrew at Se-.vnth street, not caring to go to th fairgrounds, until the afternoon. Th riders were instracted to keep twenty feet apart so as to'avoid accidents, but the pace set by the bandwagon was so slow that the distance was - not observed very well. Occasionally a rider would withdraw altogether because ox the slow pace, and go oft on a parade by himself. REPRESENTED 'RIVAL WHEELS. H-a-M----The Waverley and Outln Ball Teams Have a Close Game. v Several , hundred . people witnessed the game of baseball yesterday morning at Klssell's park, across from the Fair grounds, between the Outing and WTaverley teams. The gams was a part of the bicyclists' celebration, and many of the wheelmen who participated In the parade were in attendance. The two clubs belong to the city league, and as each represents local bicycle manufacturers, there Is much rivalry between them. .EaCh club had won one game from the other, and both stand near the top in the city league race. The game was called about 10 o'clock,' and early in it the Outings began to play to win. The score at one time stood 7 to 0 in favor of the Outings, but the Waverleys took a batting streak and tied the score. After the rally of the Waverlys it was nobody's game until the end of the ninth Inning, and there was a great deal of excitement. The riders of the two brands of wheels, from which the clubs get their names, rooted, hard for their favorite. .The Outings won by a score of 15 to 13. The batting of both teams was a feature, for it was far better than the fielding, w hlch at times was very poor. Connors and Beville formed the Outing battery and Ford and Quiesser that of the Waverleys. HELD A RAINBOW FETE. '

Fourth of July 'Amusement for the " Girls at.'ttie Reform School. One of the prettiest features of yesterday's celebration In this city was the ainbow fete or national flower contest given at the Reform School for Girls. Forty-eight of the inmates took part In the exercises. Visitors were not admitted Indiscriminately, although a nurabexp";. people, were invited to the Institution aside "from the board of directors., The entertainment was given in the chapel of the Reform School department at 3 o'clock. . The chapel was prettily decorated with the American flag and long streamers of bunting. The exercises were under the immediate charge of Miss May Patterson, Instructor in the department of physical culture, and Mis, Cora Shepperd, teacher of the primary classes. Miss Patterson, as "Columbia," occupied a miniature throne, and received her subjects as they came before her with a favorite flower. As the girls approached the throne of "Columbia," each garbed In the color of the flower she represented, they sang patriotic songs and executed difficult drills and marches. The rose, the violet, the pansy and the golden rod all were laid at the feet of the queen, while the applicant gracefully sued for favor. Ihe different evolutions of the drill were executed with a precision that indicated careful training. The entertain-, ment was viewed by all of the Inmates of the Institution except those confined in the prison. At the end of the exercises one of tne girls stepped to the platform and thanked the superintendent and officials for the enjoyment the day had afforded. Then, as the participants In the fete marched from the chapel, they joined in the song "America." Superintendent Keely will have the entertainment repeated and allow only the inmates of the prison to witness it. It is the rule of the institution to keep the inmates of the two departments separated. The women who are. serving sentences for the various degrees of crime are not permitted to mingle with their younger sisters of the Reform School. Yesterday the prisoners were given the freedom of the lawn for. an hour, and apparently enjoyed, it. WILL NOT COLLECT GARBAGE. American Redaction Company Declines to Enter Into the Contract. Mayor Denny writes from New York that the American Reduction Company will not sign the contract for collecting the city garbage at $12,000 a year. It has been suggested by some of the city officials that legal action should be taken and the company forced to stand by its original bid for the work. Others say that as the company has not deposited a guarantee this would be difficult. It is thought, however, that Mayor Denny may be able to make some kind of a contract with the company before his return. NEW YORK HOTELS. AVhere Western People Are Blade to Feel at Home and Indlanlans See Familiar Faces. Hotels In New York city change hands frequently. Qf late tSere have been so many new ones built and opened, at an enormous expense, that the dull business of the past two or three years has not kept ?ace with them. Landlords have sucumbed to the pressure, and owners have been compelled to shoulder the burdens and bear the losses. Strange faces, new arrangements and new methods seem to take away from these hotels the comfortable, homelike atmosphere to which the traveler has 'been accustomed. Here . and there, however, there are successful hostelries which continue to hold their own under the same management. It is a case of survival of the fittest. The St. Denis is a hotel of this character, and, under the direction of its old-time landlord, William Taylor, continues to be one of the most attractive in the city. The location of the St. Denis is es central as that of any hotel in the metropolis. Directly opposite Grace Church, on the corner of Broadway and Eleventh street, the outlook and environment are peculiarly pleasant and unique. .The Broad way cable cars pass Its doors, affordingH quick transit either up or oown town. For families, as well as business men. It is most convenient. The European tourist is especially favored in being within, easy distance of all the leading steamship docks and railroad ferries and depots. Accommodations are ample for a large number of guests, and the service prompt and unobtrusive. 1 le menu Is most 'elaborate l.th in American and French cookery. In senson and out of season there is nothing wanting to tempt or satisfy the most exacting epicure or accomplished bon vlvant. With all these attractions, it is not surprising that the popularity of the hotel haa grown, to such proportion that daring the greater part of the year the house Is crowded. There is no doubt that the moderate rates which prevail, both in the prices of rooms- and restaurant ch--gs, have much to do with the big business, aa tl. travellng rnan or woman J j not, dorr learn where tha be:t can tat Lj fcr tha least money.
