The Waverly Review goes into extacics
over the prospective re-opening of the Tioga
Hotel—an establishment that cost Waverly a
large sum of money, but which proyed to be
something of a white elephant. The house
has been closed for several years, and was re
cently bought by JOHN O. WARD of this
place. The editor, in the exuberance of his
joy, gives vent to his feelings thusly:
With every business man on the jump, ev
ery store rented, every house filled, this
elephant, with Sphinx like quietude stood as a
sentinel, over which a prophetic Dantcsque
inscription was guessed, "Abandon hope, ye
who enter here." < fur neighboring folk we're
wont to allude to us as an unhoteled town,
when in fact we possessed the finest edifice
between Buffalo and New York, and lacked
only the landlord. The Pharaohs built fhe
pyramids for graveyards it is said, but Wa
verly never indulged a fond pride of extensive
architecture except for business utility, and
for that reason our people knew that the time
must come when it would be thrown open to
business. It has come and with it a man
abundantly able and enterprising enough to

furnish it wiMi becoming elegance that will j
make its appointments in every particular in
keeping with the grandeur of the structure.;
Waverly is not only fortunate then in its
opening, but that it is to he managed well,
and in that management that it gains a citizen
whose public spirit will not b • confined only >
to the hotel, but felt as an energetic force in
augmenting business in the locality wherever j
his aid can do so. John (). Ward is just the ;
man to profitably conduct the Tioga, lie!
will never allow any department to he insig
nificant with the other, lie not only posses
ses the means ample enough to make the Tio-;
gaeclipse anything in Binghamton or Klmlraj
<r on the lint*- of the Erie between its termi
nuses; but is gifted by nature with a geniali- j
tv and suavity of manner that has been per
fected by his long experience in the hotel bu
siness that makes him a great attraction, irre
sistible in his influence to draw custom.
The Water Co. commenced yesterday to
put their connections in, and the entire build-,
ing is to be heated by steam, thus affording I
hot and cold water in every room that is de
sired. The furniture we are rcliablv inform-,
ed will be nearly if not quite equal to that
which celebrated the hotel when Blake eon
ducted it. In all points the opening will he |
one of the grandest features of Waverly's re
cently improved business prospects.
I have Several desirable houses to rent.
