The Belmont Hotel, which is one of the show
places of Chicago, is situated on Sheridan road
and Belmont avenue overlooking Belmont Bay,
and was erected at a cost of $6,000,000. It was
formally opened the early part of this month by
Mayor Dever, of Chicago, and his cabinet.
The interior of this beautiful hotel is pat-
terned after some of the largest and most
beautiful European hotels in design of archi-
tecture, furnishings, decorations, etc., which ac-

dining room, while the other is in the large ball-

The Udell Works, Indianapolis, Ind., has just
issued a special folder devoted to the latest
addition to the Udell line, in the form of sec-
tional cabinets for the filing of music rolls and
talking machine records. The cabinets, which
may be obtained in either solid mahogany or
mahogany finish, are offered in units of four
sections, two for the filing of rolls and records
and a top and bottom section as trim. The two
sections of the roll cabinet have a capacity of
120 rolls, while the two sections of the record
cabinet will hold about 300 records. Combina-
tions of the sections should prove particularly
desirable to owners of talking machines and
player-pianos.
