Th«re are SPECIAL ROOMS FOR LADIES also up-stairs, to ■which are attached side offices provided with ablutionary and other conven iences. His Table he feels confident needs no recommendation. The liberal patronage of the Professional and Commercial Gentlemen of the City which he has received for a period or over i eight years in a guarantee that the Bill of Fare | is such as will plec ?e the most fastidious. EVKRY DELICACY OF THE SKASON is always to be obtained.

He, therefore, hopes with soute confidence that he will, in hzs New Premises, continue to receive the large share of patronage which has been accorded to him in the past. E. W. wishes also to draw the attention of Merchants and Storekeepers to his locally manHfactured Confections, which rival those of Keillor and the best English makers.
