The LOWER SALOON Is tho most spacious and comfortable, as well as the best ventilated Dining Room in the Pro vince ; and Up-stairs he has furnished an extra room, of comfortable size, to prevent over crowding. There 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 of over eight years is a guarantee that the Bill of Fare is such as will please the most fastidious. EVERY DEIJCACY OF THE SEASON is always to be obtained. British Magazines, Illustrated and Comic Journals, together with the leading London Newspapers, are laid on the tables immediately on the arrival of each mail steamer. He, there fore, hopes with some confidence that the will, iD his New Premises, continue to receive the large share of patronage which has been ac corded to him in the past. E.
