 A visit to the Central Branch is not
complete without enjoying the evening concert by the Home Band.
The Home Band ceases playing from the Bandstand at the firing
of the
Evening Gun. I highly recommend the
hotel restaurant for your evening meal. We
also have an annex, where soda water, nuts, and ice cream can
be purchased, the same as are sold in the restaurant. At Tattoo
(8:30 p.m.), carriages should cease driving about the Home Grounds,
so that all pass through the Gates before the Nine o'clock
 Bugle sounds for the extinguishing of lights. Of course, my recommendation
is for you to stay in our fine
Hotel, which was constructed in 1879. The
excursionists are accommodated in twenty rooms. Mrs. Emma Miller
is the hotelkeeper. The Hotel staff includes our regular
 and
reliable cook, and six civilian employees. We trust you will
find the accommodations most pleasing, and you will enjoy the
splendid view from the
Hotel porch as you reflect on this most eventful
day.
