Beatty belie - in it it to be most fittine In that it associates tbe new structure wun the history of Toronto and conforms with the dignity and Importance of the buildine and its splendid appointments. The esrliest history of Toronto is encompassed In the word "York". About the year 1791 the new province of Upper Canada was duly constituted, and its capital was started in its career as "a very Kniflish town" by that sturdy Briton, John Grave Simcoe.' He bestowed upon it the name of York, establishing PRINCE RUPERT Northern and Central British Columbia's Newspaper PRINCE Rt PERT. B.C. TlKSDAY.

The location of the new hotel is notable in that it is directly across from the new Toronto Union Station, one of the largest railway terminals in America, and which will le o-ned shortly. The bufliins vill extend 3S0 feet along the north sk,e of rront street, which is unusual! v Ida at tL'a point and trhlch will result in the hotel being s?t on to s;.cndm sd vantare.

Some idea of the facilities of thii new hotel can be gained by the fac: that on the two floors above th lobby and first mezannine, it will be possible to accommodate convention' of six and seven thousand people One of these floors will be one of the most notable in America. Around s central foyer will te arranged a ballroom, convention hall and banquet room. These halls will be of unusual height and size, being overlooked by balconies opening out on another mezannine floor. The roof earden at the ton of the tower will be far in advance of anything that has yet been attempted in Canada along that line. On three sides it will be glass covered, thui affording an uninterrupted ; vtev across the lake and the city. Hen meals will be served. Above it wj) be another mezannine floor containin' additional facilities for serving an entertainment. Detail plans for finishing and deci ration have not yet been completed but considerable personal attcntio: to such is being given by Mr. Bestt. and the Company's directors. Thi result will be a building that, beside! being an ornament to the city oi Toronto In every respect worthy of that city's importsnce, and assurer! growth, will be the largest hote structure in the Empire.
