The grand saloon is a splendid room, and the bar and refreshment rooms have been very materially improved. Instead of the small counter which was formerly used, there are now three, which Messrs. Thomas and James Giddings propose to devote to refreshments generally; so at a match visitors can have all the wishes of the inner man supplied. These gentlemen understand their business thoroughly, and no better guarantee is needed of their willingness to do all that may be reasonably required of them, than their thorough ability as excellent caterers. The club rooms are completed, and right cosey little spots they are. There is abundant closet room, prettily grained, and the floors are covered with cocoa matting. The Enterprise room has a handsome curtain, containing all the “working tools” of the game. The workmanship is skillfully executed, and Tony Elmendorf has received an order from the Directors of the Atlantic Club for two of a similar design. These several improvements, added to the former conveniences, make this the best ground of the kind in the country. |
