The new 104th Balftalion was the sen-

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.
I
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.
