Physical fitness was in most cases the deciding factor. This too -was quite a proh- lem as no battalion in the 5th Divis- ion was quite up to the standard ot’ the 105th. The new 104th Balftalion was the sen- ior battalion of the 5th Division and one of the best in every regard. Their

Not only were the outpost positions of the Hlndenburg line carried and held on it front of about six miles but over 10,000 prisoners were taken and sixty guns.

Tho infantry cannot go tor- wnrd from day to tiny as in open warfare where there are only hap- llaszur-il defences.

The Most Commodious and Finest Hotel in the Maritime Provinces has Just Been Renovated and Re-decorated at cost of Over $3,000.

Charlottetown has the best hotel accommodation in

the Maritime Provinces and the best. hotel east of Mon- treal is undoubtedly the Hotel Victoria of which the en- Iai and enterprising host is Ex-Mayor R. H. Sterns. Tow people in the Province realize the extent of the accom- modation provided by this most excellent hotel and when Mr. Sterns showed a number of leading citizens over it the other evening they were loud in their expressions of agreeable surprise and well'-merited admiration. Rec- ently the Hotel Vctoria has been in the hands of the dec- orators, and now presents .<1 completely renovated ap- pearance from cellar to garI‘et_ The cost of the present work has been well over $3,000, and altogether in the past fifteen years Mr. Sterns has spent. $78,000 on his property. It is really a palatial building and it is furnish- cd and decorated on palatial lines. One would hardly credit that the Victoriahas 119 bedrooms, 43 of which have baths attached, while there are no fewer than. sev- en separate baths in the hotel. The rooms have the added advantage of all being on the outside and open to the “caller air” and radiant sunlight. The views from the upper windows are magniflcient and unequalled in the Province. It is sheer delight to sit at one of these win- dows and enjoy the panorama spread before o_ne’s eyes.

The furnishing of the bedrooms is chaste comfort-

able reat taste being _shown in the choice offdecorat-*

» g ~

ions and carpets, and there being a substantial brass bed in every room. Carpets are either Wilton or Brussels and ot' patterns restful to the eyes. The public .rooms are furnished and decorated on a similar scalel excellent taste being exhibited in the selection of~paper, paint, carpets and furniture. Today it would be hard, to find In Canada a hotel of its class better provided_.for.tlie com- fort and convenience of thc travelling public. The cuis- ine of this hotel is well-known for its excellence. No better table is provided for the money, or evhntwice the money anywhere in the Maritime Provinces.. Mr. Sterns owns his own farm and raises all the vegetables neces- sary for use in the hotel, and buys not‘.hing,fb_\i_iI'l;he best for the table, The result is that Charlottetown has in the Victoria a hotel equal to the best in a quarter of a mii- lion city and the pity is that we have not the traveling public to appreciate it as ii; should. But; with the regular running of the car ferry there should bea continuous How of travellers to justify to some extent the enterprise of Mr. Sterns, and' in the summer months as the Island becomes better known as a health resort the hotel should be taxed to its capacity. It seems reasoilable '~ in these davs of high cost, of house keeping that not, a few citi- zens would tlnd it to their advantage to take up quart- ers in the Victoria in the winter months when- no doubt special terms could be arranged. , .-

Those who inspected the hotel on Thursday and ex-

pressed their apprcciation of all they saw jand of Mr. Sterns’s enterprise were Mr. George Rogers,-M-r. James Paton, M. L. A., Mr. J. O. Hyndman, Mr. J.JP.»Gordon, Mr. R. H. Jenkins, Col. Stewart, Mr. A._P. Protvse, Mr. E. G. Saunders, Mr. H. V. Buntain andlotbers. “
