Not merely is it the greatest city in the western hemisphere. Not merely is it the travel and trade center of North America. It is a vast human Nhive, throbbing with continual activity and industry. It is the "meeting place of the nations, "the spot toward which all promi- nent Americans naturally gravitate, and in which the progressive representatives of other nations hope sometimes to find them- selves. It is as cosmopolitan as any of the great capitals of Europe. It is far more up to date. And in its ability to care for visiting strangers it transcends all hitherto accepted standards of public hospitality. In the number, the size, and the quality of its first class hotels New York unquestionably leads the world. It has developed hotel building, equipment and operation to a point far beyond Old World attainments. It has bred a race of hotel managers wiser and more progressive than their predecessors, who fully realize the increasing demands of our modern civilization, and who have abundantly qualified themselves for the task of adequately caring for the gigantic army of New York's daily visitors. To attain the fore-front of eminence at the opening of a hotel is possible to any operating company which is backed by ample capital, which is competent to select and install the requisite equipment, and which is skilled in hotel management. But to retain this pre-eminence after newer hotels have been opened is another and a more difificult proposition. To be independent of and unaffected by the activities of others is an achievement of which any hotel and its management may be proud, and which of itself is ample proof that real excellence is continuously appreciated, and that capable supervision and skillful service are permanent assets, not to be uprooted by mere newness or novelty. Such a hotel is the Biltmore, occupying the entire block bounded by Vanderbilt and Madison Avenues, 43rd and 44th Streets. The very central and remarkably accessible location of the Biltmore — adjoining and connected with the Grand Central Station, the 42nd Street Express Station of the Subway, and its nearness to Fifth Avenue, the great central highway of Manhattan — was a feature which brought this hotel at once and most favorably to the attention of all travelers visiting New^ York Cit>'. That the Biltmore has retained the favor with which it was received, that it has built up a satisfied and even enthusiastic clientele are facts too well known to be successfully disputed. That the Biltmore is constantly presenting novelties and inno- vations for the comfort and pleasure of its patrons is another fact that New York's hotel visitors well know and appreciate. Until the Biltmore's twenty-six stories of steel, granite, limestone, brick and terra cotta were reared next to the Grand Central Station, New York Cit>- had no really great terminal hotel. This feature of itself would be sufficient to commend the hotel to the traveling public, even if the structure did not contain any other attributes entitling it to superiority. ^ 1^ AV X AV. k( k( kV AV iS. )\ AV AV AV.

J » is )i JK pk JJ^J^. /A ^ It is one of the largest of New York hotels, having a thousand rooms, nine hundred and fifty of which are provided with private bath and toilet, and is so arranged on three sides of a great open court that every guest chamber is practically an outside room, directly admitting light and air. Needless to say that the Biltmore contains ever\" modern impro\ ement that can add to the comfort of its guests; and this applies to the guest rooms as well as to the many and spacious public apartments conveniently located throughout the building. Location, environment and accessibility may be claimed — and justly so in many cases — for a score or more of New York's modern hotels, but it has remained for the Biltmore to develop the central idea of real accessi- bilit>- to its highest possil)le degree. It is without question the most accessible hotel in New York, l)eing located next to and connected directly with the Grand Central Station, into which arrive and from which depart the passenger trains of several of the great railway systems centering in the metropolis. To make this physical connection even closer, passengers may step from the arriving platform — where they leave incoming trains — directly into a special elevator which lands them in the ofifice lobby of the hotel. And, in the case of per- sonages of distinction arriving at the Biltmore, they can be taken by private elevator from the train platform directly to their private suite in the hotel without coming in contact with the station crowds, the street trafific, or people in the hotel offices. In its plan and arrangements the Biltmore is designed to afTord the largest amount of comfort and convenience to its guests; luxury without ostentation; safety that is absolute; a culinary department without a flaw; and sanitation of the highest order. In the accomplishment of these objects every conceivable hotel improvement of a mechanical nature has been installed. In addition to the usual equipment of local and long distance telephones, electric light and steam heating from central plants, every approved electrical device that would tend to add to the comfort of the guests has been provided. There are a complete telautograph system, dictograph system, separate inter-communicating telephone system connecting the operating portions of the hotel, pneumatic tubes, vacuum cleaner system, and many other modern im- ARMY OFFK'ERS TAKINC, Till'; lU'RDF.RS TnRp:E ABREAST I t t i A TENSE MOMENT IN A NATIONAL GOLF TOURNAMENT provcnients. There has even been installed a Permutit system for softening all the Avater used, the Biltmore being the first hotel in America to l)c equipped with this system, which is Avidely used in Germany, where it originated, throughout Europe and in other parts of the world. Contiguity to the Grand Central Terminal is not the sole feature of A alue in the location of the Biltmore. This new hotel is but one block east of Fifth A\ enue, New York's great central artery of trade and traffic; and but one block north of 42nd Street, the city's busiest cross-town thoroughfare. The Grand Central Station of New York's underground railway system is at 42nd Street and \"anderbilt i\venue, one block from the hotel, and even this distance, short as it is, need not be traversed in the open, since the passageways that unite the hotel with the railway terminal also connect it with the city's subways. On the street level there are three entrances to the Biltmore, the principal one l)eing located on the 43rd Street side, and the other two on \"anderbilt Avenue. Entering from 43rd Street, one steps into a broad vestibule with marble walls and vaulted ceiling, from which a short flight of marble stairs leads up to the main elevator hall and the hotel lobby. From the lobby a broad corridor, running north and south, connects the two wings of the building and gives access to the palm court and the main dining room. From the vestibule short flights of steps to left and right descend to the rooms immediately below the main floor. Of the two entrances on Vanderbilt Avenue, the one nearest 43rd Street is on the south or men's side of the hotel and opens into the office lobby; the other, on the north or women's side, leads directh' to the special rooms that have been pro\ ided for their comfort. On the main or office floor are located the men's cafe, in the southwest corner, with windows on 43rd Street and Madison Avenue, the main dining room occupying all the remainder of the Madison Avenue front to 44th Street; the palm court is in the center of the structure, immediately in front of the entrance to the dining room. The floor level of the dining room and men's cafe is a few steps above that of the main floor. Mez- zanines surround the men's and women's sections of the main floor, in that upon the men's side being located a Avriting room for their use. On the women's side the mez- zanine floor contains writing and hair dressing rooms. The women's reception room, toilet room, cloak room, etc., are all reached directh" from the \'anderbilt Avenue entrance to the women's section. The decorative treatment, the materials, the finish and the fittings of the first floor are simple and dignified, but of the highest artistic order. Marble is used exclusively for the floors and walls, the latter being plainly and simply paneled and without ornamentation. The metal fittings are bronze of artistic patterns. The ceilings are beamed, paneled in low relief designs, and painted in subdued tones that har- monize with the natural tints of the marble walls and floor. Marble is also used for the walls of the palm court and the dining room, the former being severely plain and the latter paneled in plain marble with pilasters of variegated tints. The dining room is a spacious and lofty apartment in modern Italian Renaissance style, with a won- derful cameo ceiling in gold and white, bearing classical figures and decorations in low relief. The window draperies are in a subdued shade of red, the furniture of dark oak with upholstery in two shades of red to harmonize with the window hangings and the similar toned carpeting. Three large prismatic glass electroliers are suspended from the ceiling. There is a musicians' gallery at the south end of the room with an orna- mental bronze railing. The palm court is decorated with a profusion of potted palms and ferns, and the furniture, of dainty rustic pattern, is painted green to harmonize with the tints of the foliage. Descending the steps to the left from the 43rd Street vestibule, one reaches the grill room and the corridor that leads to the men's bar and the men's club room. Elizabethan style with dark paneled walls and pilasters up to the ceiling, and with marble and wood floors, is the decorative treatment of the men's cafe, the grill room, the bar and the men's club room. The library, on the second floor, is also carried out in Elizabethan style. The Georgian order of interior decoration is used throughout the women's section. The fourth floor of the hotel is devoted to private dining rooms, of which there are a number of varying capacities, and a special suite for entertaining purposes. This suite consists of a parlor, reception room, dining room, foyer, bedrooms and dressing rooms, and a small ballroom that will accommodate three hundred people, to which special serving rooms arc attached. On the twenty-second floor is located the banquet and ballroom, which has a seat- ing capacit}' of about six hundred people, being one of the largest rooms in New York devoted to these purposes. It is decorated in Louis XI\'. st> le of somewhat formal cliaracter, with arched windows and ornamental bak-onies. The general color scheme is blue and gold with window draperies in blue. The ballroom is entirely- free from columns and has wide and lofty windows on three sides. Thes(> windows ma>- be fully opened, so that in the summer time the room can be conwrted into a great unob- structed roof garden restaurant of the highest type, rainy weather placing no restric- tions upon its use, as it is entirely covered and protected above by the upper stories of the structure. Adjoining this ballroom are spacious and attractive parlors, a large supper room that ma\- be utilized as a foyer, and a special kitchen provided with a serving pantry. On the north wing of this floor, opposite the ballroom, is located an emergency' hospital, which is completely equipped according to modern standards. At the level of the si.xth floor, in the center of the building and between the north and south wings, has been constructed a large and exquisitely arranged roof garden which carries a profusion of palms, ferns, flowers and shrubbery in formal plots with paths between, and with a centrally placed ornamental fountain. This is maintained for the pleasure and comfort of guests who wish to dine out of doors, to indulge in afternoon teas, and to enjoy their leisure in the open air. It extends to the V^ander- bilt Avenue front of the structure and is fully protected by the upper stories of the hotel from late afternoon sunlight. Along the entire front of this roof garden has been erected a broad and inviting pergola, with ornamental columns, and with many secluded nooks and vine-embowered corners. This roof garden is of a most unusual type, being very spacious, and having, with its walks, its flower beds, its shrubbery, its fountain, its evergreen trees and its trailing vines, the exact aspect of a formal garden in a fine private estate. Below the street level there is a completely equipped Turkish bath establishment with large swimming pool and all modern conveniences. The equipment of this bath establishment is such as to enable it to give medicinal baths and modern hydriatric treatment with the most approved apparatus and thoroughly competent attendants. In the location and arrangements of its culinary departments the Biltmore has set a new standard for New York hotels.

On the floor above the main kitchen are located the general refrigerator storage boxes, which are so large and capacious that the hotel is enabled to carry supplies of meats and vegetables for months in advance of immediate needs, in this way being practically independent of the usual cold storage warehouses which take care of simi- lar needs for the average hotel. The fact should also be noted that every dining room in the building has outside light and air, and the grill room, cafe, bars, etc., are all above the street level, in no case being basement rooms. There are nine passenger elevators, four being l(K'ated at each end of the nortli and south corridors, and running to every floor, with an additional one on the north side which is the private elevator running from the track level of the incoming railway station to the private suite and private dining room floor. These elevators are most conveniently located, and the entrance halls on each of the upper floors are cut ofif from the corridors by glass doors, which arrangement prevents all noises from the operating machinery reaching and disturbing guests in their rooms. There are six freight elevators — for convenience in transferring baggage — in various parts of the hotel. In the matter of travelers' baggage it is important to note that the railroads deliver this direct to the hotel and receive it from the hotel, without trouble, expense or delay to the owner. There are sixteen dumbwaiters — for service purposes to upper floors — ^conveniently placed about the structure.

These rooms are of ample size to provide the fullest comfort, and are simply and substantialh" — but most excellentl>- — fitted up and furnished in English style. The walls are paneled and {tainted. No wall paper of any kind is used in an}- part of the hotel. The floors are of hardwood with marble bases for the walls. The same floor and wall treatment has been given to all the upper halls and corridors. Besides the many elevators the building is provided with six continuous staircases which lead from the roof to the street level. Two of these are enclosed in brick fire towers, built in connection with and adjoining the elevator halls. No single feature that could provide greater security against fire was overlooked or omitted in the con- struction of the Bilfmore, and as a result of this thoroughness the Board of Fire Underwriters quoted for this hotel the minimum insurance rate, which is lower than that received by any other hotel in New York. The Permutit system, of which the Biltmore has the first hotel installation in America, is a natural method of softening water by filtration invented by the eminent chemist, Dr. Robert Gans of Berlin, Germany. It adds nothing to the water, and removes from it all mineral salts that cause hardness and make ordinary waters un- satisfactory- and disagreeable in the bath and toilet, or for laundering and culinary purposes. Permutized water is matchless for the complexion and is absolutely hygienic for all purposes. The Biltmore employs this water in all its departments, including the boilers of its steam plant for generating power, light and heat. The advantage of having an unfailing supply of water of uniform softness and great purity is very noticeable in every way in which water is used — whether for drinking, in the bath, in cooking, or in the superior appearance of freshly laundered linen. A GROUP OF SPRINTERS TOPPING THE HIGH HURDLL> ()ulsi(k' light and air arc proN ided for every n^oni in the hotel, including all the guest chambers and the ser\ ants' (jiiarters. There are no so-called "court rooms." As car lines and general street traffic pass the hotel on practically one side only — Madison Avenue — quietness to a remarkable degree is afforded all guests, such as can be secured in almost no other centrally located hotel in New York. The Biltmore, with its grand ballroom, its reception halls, its splendid restaurant and palm court, its private dining rooms, its grill room and cafe, is perfectly adapted for indoor entertaining, and high class social functions of every kind and character succeed each other at very brief intervals during the months of autumn, winter and spring. Special events take place during the holiday season, which reaches its climax with elaborate midnight dinners and festivities of New Year's Eve. During the summer months, when outdoor life is preferable to that indoors, a somewhat different plan is pursued. It is then that the pergola roof garden at the level of the sixth floor blossoms forth in all its beauty, and outdoor dinners, luncheons and afternoon teas are enjoyed amid exquisite environment and sylvan surroundings. The roar of the city streets comes faintly — if at all — to one's ears and it is easy to imagine oneself to be in the garden of some country mansion instead of atop a city hotel. Even more than this has been done for the summer visitor at the Biltmore. On the twenty-second floor of the hotel, which, it will be remembered, is the ballroom floor, there was created during the summer of 1914 — and created is the proper word to HE KigK quality) contained in tKe Kent-Co5tik})an collection of botK Antique an d Mode rn Orientals, denotes a standard considerably above the average.

The grand ballroom, with its adjacent foyer, small parlors, toilet rooms, etc., was given over to summer dining and dancing, and the ballroom itself was so transformed as entirely to lose its identity. It was called the "Cascades," a name reminiscent of bosky dells, of rippling rills, of the mellow tinkle of falling water, of cool retreats in umbrageous depths. The reason for this selection was not immediately apparent as you entered the wide double doorway, though the tout ensemble was perfect. The ceiling, painted in blue with fleecy white clouds apparently drifting about, perfectly simulated the open sky. The walls, draped with hangings in broad white stripes, paneled with narrow blue ones, and between each pair of blue stripes a broad, blue-bordered panel ornamented with brilliant birds and verdant foliage, the whole of this drapery so hung as to make the interior seem a huge tent with a broad flat top entirely open to the sky^ — this is the picture that first greeted the eye. The blue and gold pillars of the balcony so blended into this picture that they seemed to be the tent poles for this great canopy. High up, all around the room, ran festoons of roses, around and among which were hung Jajianese lanterns of brilliant colors. The balcony railing was hidden b\' trailing vines and palm fronds, and made still more beautiful by masses of wisteria, roses, carnations, sweet peas and other blossoms. Beneath the balcony rail, surrounded by ferns and greenery, hung caged canaries, and these feathered songsters chimed in most agreeably with the orchestral music. The three great chandeliers, even, lost their wonted character, being draped and covered with bright-colored fabrics, through which the electric illumination was diffused in myriad hues.

The whole effect, when the lights were all on, was that of an immense glorified banqueting tent in which the formal character of an enclosed apartment was entirely lost. The small round tables, with their snowy damask, their glistening glass and silver, the chairs with their cool summer coverings, completed the ensemble, and made the whole aspect as charming a one as could be desired. At the eastern end of the room had been constructed a three-tiered, oval-fronted musicians' platform, the tier railings hidden by masses of roses, carnations and sweet peas, with tete-a-tete tables on the two lower tiers, the upper tier being reserved for the orchestra. In the center of the upper tier, directly against the east wall, a gigan- tic figure of Neptune stood in a conch shell. Concealed electric lights brought out this snow-white figure in bold relief, about which rose flashing jets of water that fell back sparkling into the shell at his feet. This shell overflowed into a brooklet, bor- dered with ferns and flowers, forming a miniature waterfall. The pool below this fall overflowed into another on the second tier, and so on down to the floor level, where there was a circular, vine-embowered pool in which goldfish sported. Here were the "Cascades," imparting a veritable touch of nature that gave reality to what would otherwise have been wholly make-believe. Two complete orchestras were in attendance, and these provided continuous music, both for dining and dancing. The dinner service was entirely a la carte. So popular was the "Cascades" in its first season (1914) that it became necessary to fit up the foyer and the larger parlors — which are upon the same floor level — as overflow rooms, and the foyer was transformed into the "Fountain Room," so-called because of ornamental fountains installed at each end. A special Venetian orchestra played in this room during the dinner hours, and guests here were likewise privileged to remain for the dancing. JUST BEFORE STARTING THE HOUNDS AT A HUNT MEET FOLLOWING THE BALL IN A FAST GAME OF POLO The new supper room of the Biltmore, which occupies the northeastern corner of the building, on the main floor, and faces Vanderbilt Avenue, is a recent innovation in this hotel, having been in use only about four or five months. It is very spacious in its dimensions, being some sixty-eight feet in width by eighty-nine in length, and ha\'ing ample seating capacity for four hundred and fifty persons. Its great con- venience of location and ready accessibility from all sides has made it very popular, and it is considered one of the most comfortable and "usable" rooms of its kind in New York. The type of decoration adopted for this supper room is generally that of the Adam period, but the characteristic severity and plainness of this treatment has been modi- fied here and there by touches of Pompeiian and Louis XVI., so that it will harmonize more closely with the palm court and the main restaurant, which it immediately adjoins. The walls are in solid paneled American walnut with decorations in blue and gold relief. The ceiling is Italian "gesso" work in geometrical patterns, and the colors used here are cream and gold. Around the room and against the wall have been placed upholstered lounges and ottomans, before which are set the dining tables. These are of varied designs, each in keeping with the materials employed in its upholstery, and the effect of this installa- tion is to take away much of the sameness of aspect found in most dining rooms, and to give this room an air of elegance and luxuriousness generally lacking in apartments of this kind. The dining chairs, of solid walnut with just a touch of hand carving, are u])holstered in blue and gold brocade to match the walls and lounges. The carpeting is in a special design of heavy Moquette and — to meet the present popular demand for supper dancing — it was made and laid in two pieces. The center is entirely separate from the surrounding portion, and may be taken up and removed in five minutes, leaving a perfect dancing floor in its place. Music there is, of course, with an excellent orchestra which plays both classical pieces and all the popular dance music of the da>-. Professional dancers of skill and reputation appear here ever>- evening, and jiatrons are afforded every facility to participate in this popular pastime. Nowhere in New York is there to be found a room where supper and dinner dances can be held under finer conditions or among more attractive surroundings. y w, \ii\f, V/ v/ y >v nnnifvifvv y >v v >Y >Y y >Y >Y l Y >y > Y >Y >Y > Y >Y lY >Y lY -tV ^ ^v ^v ^v ^v ^v >v ^v ^v ^v ^ w ^v_^!;^^^vj THE WAR SUIT CORRECT SUBSTITUTE FOR THE MORNING.

Splendor of architecture, elegance of appointments, and W . completeness of equipment may be inbuilt into the structure as it rises. But prestige, an exclusive quality in its clientele, must be acquired after the edifice has been completed and thrown open to the public. As to its location, no hotel is more conveniently placed in the greater city than the Manhattan. It is but one block from the Grand Central railway station, has an entrance in the hotel to the New York Subway system, and is but a half-block from Fifth Avenue at its intersection with Forty-second Street, the busiest traffic corner in the city. It is in the center of the new shopping district, and within easy access to all the principal theatres, clubs, art galleries and places of amusement. Surface cars pass it on both the Madison Avenue and Forty-second Street fronts. In its architectural construction and arrangement, its interior decorations and furnishings, its convenient location and excellent management, the Hotel Manhattan is unsurpassed by any other of its kind in the American metropolis. All private rooms have large windows opening directly to outside light and air, all bathrooms have outside ventilation, and the utmost comfort is assured to guests at all seasons. The public apartments of the Hotel Manhattan are spacious in size, rich in decorations and sumptuous in their furnishings. The main entrance from Forty- second Street opens directly into the grand rotunda, which is the general meeting place for all guests. Here the style of decoration is Italian Renaissance, soft gray Italian marbles with Tiffany glass mosaics and an arched skylight of Tiffany glass. Above the marble wainscoting is a mural decoration in oil, forming a superb frieze six feet high and sixty feet long, the subject being the "Triumph of Manhattan." THE NORTH RESTAURANT, ()i< I LI-.MlsM ROOM, WllR ll IS LOC AJEl) ON THE FORT^-TIIIRO STREET SIDE OF THE HOTEL Leading from the rotunda are numerous other public apartments for various purposes, all readily accessible. Among these are the north and south restaurants, the palm court or tea room, ladies' reception room, writing rooms, etc. On a mezzanine floor at one side is the musicians' gallery. The south restaurant, on the Forty-second Street side of the hotel, is finished in modern French style, with woodwork of antique oak, and a panelled ceiling of the same wood, the latter picked out with gold relief decorations. The Forty-third Street restaurant, which is on the north side of the hotel, is finished throughout in Flemish oak, with a high wainscoting, artistically inlaid with other woods. The main panels are handsomely carved and carry a series of paintings, the subjects of which are figures, flowers and fruits. The palm court or tea room, wainscoted with Breccia marble, with pilasters running up to the ceiling and ornamented at their tops with gold, connects the rotunda with the north restaurant. In the ceiling is a large circular dome of Tiffany glass. The foyer, or main parlor, in Louis XVL style, resplendent in Vernis Martin and gold, with wall panels and hangings in Rose de Pompadour, is one of the very richest of all rooms in the hotel devoted to public purposes. In the triple-arched opening which separates one portion of this room from another, is a series of wall {paintings. The music room, with its walls hung with soft shades of silk tapestry, (jpens out of the main parlor. The banquet room, which also opens out of the foyer, is decorated entirely in the rich and simple Adam style. In the walls are dull gold frames containing a series of historical portraits of English and French ladies in court costumes. The cafe is reached directly from the street, and also from the rotinula by a marble stairway. It is furnished in maple in natural color, with a landscape frieze above the wainscoting. Adjoining the cafe are the Dutch room, bar, barber shop, brokers' offices, etc. SATIN OVER GALLERIES 3 WEST FIFTY-SEVENTH STREET, NEW YORK Importers of Selected Old Masters CHRIST DRIVING THE MONEY-CHANGERS OUT OF THE TEMPLE by PETER BREUGHEL the ELDER 1 525-i 570 Danersk Decorative Furniture While you are in New York be sure to call at our Exhibition Rooms.

When a really greater and grander New York hotel makes its appearance, therefore, more comprehensive descriptive adjectives must be employed. In speaking of the new Hotel Commodore, now being constructed on the corner of Lexington Avenue and Forty-second Street, New York City, it is no exaggeration to term it "colossal" and "magnificent." Its ground plan is of vast size, occup> ing the entire block surrounded by Lexington Avenue, Forty-second and Forty-third Streets and Depew Place, and it will rise to a height of twenty-six stories. There will be twelve hundred guest chambers, each with private bath attached. The location of the Hotel Commodore may be considered most desirable and convenient, even when compared with those of other first class hotels in its immediate vicinity. It will be directly connected on several levels with the Grand Central railway station, so that both incoming and outgoing travelers will experience neither trouble or delay in entering or leaving it, and will not need to go out of doors, e\ en to cross the street. Baggage will be delivered to the hotel by the railroad companies, and departing guests can have trunks checked from hotel rooms to destinations. Trolley cars pass the hotel's site on both the Forty-second Street and Lexington Avenue fronts, and on Forty-second Street in front of the hotel are Elevated railway and Subway lines. Taxicab service and automobile facilities will be more than ordinarily adequate. To its splendid location and unrivalled accessibility the Hotel Commodore will add every comfort-bringing and convenience-securing feature that genius has designed and human skill has created. The management, of the highest capability, and experienced in the operation of some of the very best and most favorably' known of New York hotels during many years, has had from the very beginning of the con- struction of the building, full control over its every arrangement and detail, and has been given carte blanche in the selection of its furnishings and equipment. The result will be the production of a metropolitan hotel in the description of which no adjective can be considered an exaggeration. Its main lobby will be an apartment of great area and loftiness, superlatively decorated and furnished. Its restaurants and cafes will be the largest and handsomest in the city. It will have the largest ballroom in the world, with two tiers of private boxes, available for both entertainments and banquets. For balls and entertainments there will be seating capacity for three thousand, while fully two thousand can be accommodated at banquets. The parlors, the reception rooms, the restaurants, cafes, writing rooms, reading rooms, and all other public service rooms, will be unusually large of their t\'pes, and will be equipped with the very latest and most appro\'ed modern devices. The construction of the Hotel Commodore on its upper floors — in the form of a broad open "U" — is such that every one of its great number of guest chambers will be an outside room. There will be no rooms opening upon "courts" or "air shafts." Every room will have private bath and toilet attached, and will be furnished and fitted with the most modern conveniences. In addition to the usual hot and cold water supply to each private bathroom, every guest chamber will have filtered ice water piped to it for drinking purposes. That the construction of such an enormous hotel upon this site is warranted will be evident when it is understood that four hundred railway trains enter and leave the Grand Central Terminal daily, carrying one hundred thousand passengers. Four hundred and seventy-three local and four hundred and ninety-one subway express trains bring 75,415 passengers each day to the Grand Central railway station. Besides this vast amount of traffic, there are the more than a hundred thousand passengers carried by the nine hundred daily surface trolley cars on Lexington Avenue, the eight hundred Forty-second Street crosstown cars, both of which lines pass the hotel site, and the more than a thousand Madison and Fourth Avenue cars. y V/ V/ Vr vr y w y >v v >v w w v w w w y >y y y i/ W > Y >Y H H >Y >Y lY lY lY \i \i -lY ->Y iV ^v >v ^v ^v ^v ^v ->v ^v v w v ^w w xV ^v ^ ESTABLISHED 1818 ILHiSTKATED CATALOCiUE SENT ON REQUEST MADISON AVENUE COR.

BoYLSTON Street 220BellevueAvcnue Calendar of High Class Sports In New York and Vicinity From June to November 30, 1917, Inclusive THE love of sport is the root of all cheerfulness. When we plan for a day's outing, for par- ticipation in some favored recreation, or gather as spectators to witness sports afield, we la>' aside our business cares and our domestic worries, forget our personal aches and pains, and go forth with light hearts and gleeful anticipations. And in these highly civilized times all tastes and desires in games and contests can be satisfied, for there is a very wide range of choice. Automobile races and aeroplane flights provide thrills that our ancestors knew not of. The swiftest sports they had were horse races under saddle and in harness. Today we may see mechani- cal man-made monsters whiz around steeply banked tracks or flit through the air at speeds exceeding one hundred miles an hour. The horse has been out-speeded, out-distanced. But he is not therefore despised, nor even for- gotten. There are still horse lovers, there are still horse races, and there are still many thousands of spectators who flock to race courses to witness contests of speed between thoroughbreds. From very small beginnings the gasoline launch has developed, within something less than a quarter of a century, into the speediest thing that moves over the surface of the water, almost rival- ling ice-boats in swiftness. In and about New York there are fifty or more golf and country clubs, practically all having eighteen-hole courses, and some of them being rated among the most famous links in the country. Their memberships are large, and their facilities are even larger. All are equipped with commodious club houses, and all offer playing privileges to visiting golfers from distant clubs whose home club credentials afford them a proper introduction. Of the other strictly amateur sports to be found in and about New York, the leaders are polo, yachting, rowing, college and athletic association baseball, college football, lacrosse, cricket and tennis. Because of the many rivers, bays and arms of the sea surrounding it New York is splendidly situated for water sports and, as a result, it has a large number of boats, yacht and motor boat clubs, the activities of which afYord a long series of attractive entertainments. There are no better roads anywhere than in the vicinity of New York, and particularly on Long Island; and auto trips in every direction are among the many excellent forms of recreation aftorded by the American metropolis. In the following pages will be found a list of high class sporting events taking place in New York and vicinity during the open season of 1917, between June 1 and December 1. The dates and details of these events have been obtained from authentic sources and have been carefully compiled. It sometimes happens, however, that circumstances, unforeseen at the time a season's schedule is made up, necessitate changes of date or even the abandonment of certain events. This, of course, cannot be guarded against, and any published schedule which covers an extended period is subject to changes without notice. For reasons above stated the publishers of this calendar are unable to accept any responsi- bility for changes that may be discovered in the dates of included events. These were correct originally and presumably they remain so, but if it is desired to depend upon them absolutely, the date should be verified by communication with the club or association controlling the e\ ent.

(NOTE — The present warlike preparations in this country are exerting a repressing effect upon outdoor sports. Many scheduled events have been indefi,nitely postponed, and others abandoned altogether. This is particularly true of inter-col- legiate matches and the more active athletic contests. Yachting may be interdicted. Purely local sports, however, and the leading events in golf, tennis, horse racing and similar amusements, are not likely to be interfered with.)

Above dates are as originally announced, but may have been changed later, and the publishers do not guarantee their accuracy THE BILTMORE'S DRAPERIES AND HANGINGS NOT the least of the beauties which contribute to the satisfying effect of the Biltmore s interior is the artistic nature of the well-chosen hangings. This is conceded by authorities on in- terior decorations. It gives us pleasure to claim our share of the honors due on that score. The Biltmore s gorgeous ball room is hung with Orinoka Silk Brocade; the main restaurant with Orinoka Silk Brocatelle ; the new supper room with Peacock Pattern Brocade.

(Elevators at both Entrances) HOTEL LENOX BOSTON A well appointed Hotel possesses its own individuality. There is the material comfort expressed in the building itself — its fireproof construction — its fine furnishings — its select appointments. To the material must be added the indefinable. Its atmosphere of culture and refinefnent which suggests "home" to every guest. Then the service which is so attentive that it never intrudes. A courtesy that reflects a living, ever- present welcome from a well-trained organization. These are the attributes which have given the Hotel Lenox that valued re- pute — the praise of every guest who honors the Lenox hospitality. The Lenox is convenie7itIy located to the Social, Theatrical and Shopping districts of Boston. L. C.

Its fall terminates only one episode of an evening — an even- ing that is but one seem^mt of a closely-packed day — a day that is no fuller than other days of a social season. The end of the play is but the beginning of the ball, even as the beginning of the play was he end of but the dinner. The scene changes, the dramatis personae remain the same. Unity of place is violated , but unity of time preserved . Dinner follows tea, chronologically, but thirty miles are not merely supposed to elapse.

That motor car is the Pierce-Arrow. 1 1 is the shuttle of this gorgeous Jacquaid loom, v/eaving the brilli'dnt and gold-flecked fabric of social life, plyii.g busily to and fro as the pattern demands, never breaking a thread or dropping a stitch. It has become one of the glorified tools by which social life is achieved. It has been absorbed into that kaleidoscopic background across which social life moves as a brilliant spectacle — a background of ballrooms and restaurants and country clubs, of gowns and jewels and ser- vants, of yachts and fox hunts and house boats, of pictures and furriture and sunken gardens. Its puipose is utility, but a rare and exotic utility. Because it has been able to withdraw attention from its faithful service by the very faithfulness of that service, it has been able to qualify in those finer and more subtle ways for a finer and more subtle prestige, social recognition. When a man of means and taste is able to add to his col- lection a Van Dj'ck he does not thereby enhance Van Dyck. Instead, he is expressing his conviction that his art gallery lacks a certain disnnction which only Van Dyck can give. His position as a man of taste and means demands Van Dyck, just as it has demanded at times Chippenc'ale, or Gobelin, or the Metropolitan Club, or the grand tier, or vioux Cham- bertin, or Jekyl Island, or Locust Valley. By the sound progress of art resting securely upon utility all the great things of the world have beer produced. In this spirit the creation of everji part — always creation, never imitation — finding the car's own reason for development within itself — has produced the Pierce- J^rrow 1
