CHICAGO NOTES. 



The opening of the new La Salle 

 Hotel this week has called for the use 

 of many flowers, especially Beauties. 

 The spacious parlors and dining room, 

 balconies, etc., were decorated by 0. J. 

 Friedman with palms and bay trees 

 and hung with laurel. On the opening 

 days there were two panels about 

 10 X 20 ft. covered with oak leaves and 

 golden rod and in the center of the 

 room was a fountain, the basin of 

 which contained night blooming pond 

 lilies. The decorations called for im- 

 mense quantities of material and the 

 decorators replenished their vases 

 each day. 



Hoerber Bros, place at Des Plaines 

 is practically finished. The matter of 

 obtaining sufficient water is an im- 

 portant one. A w-ell has been driven 

 nearly 200 ft., without success as yet. 



The Auditorium was elaborately 

 decorated Ijy The Geo. Wittbold Co. 

 for the Taft Banquet on Thursday 

 night. 



Scheiden & Schoos have closed their 

 stand in the market following the dis- 

 solving of the partnership.
