The Argyll Hotel. (long and excellent description; piece on beauties of SA)
Standing alone on an eminence at the foot of the town, near the railway station and steamboat landing, and commanding a magnificent view of the bay and its islands, of the town with its quaint and picturesque houses, of the inner harbour and navy island, of the St. Croix and the American shore, and of the mountains of Chamcook and Bocabec, this fine structure is one of the first objects on which the eye rests when approaching the town from any direction. Our reporter had the pleasure of being shown through the building one evening last week by the genial and gentlemanly proprietor, Captain Herbert. On entering he found himself in the large and handsome hall, which is finished with hard pine floor, and tinted walls and at night, is illuminated by light from twelve lamps, supported on two elegant chandeliers. Off the hall are the office, gentleman’s sitting room, coat and bath rooms, and two side halls, one leading to the commodious private apartments of Captain Herbert, the other to the kitchen and pantries. The dining room is also connected to the main hall by folding doors. We may safely say that his is one of the finest rooms of its kind in the Province.  It is 54 feet long by 44 feet wide, with a ceiling 24 feet high. It is finished with a floor of southern pine, black ash wainscoting, and tinted walls, which are ornamented with several fine works of art. From the ceiling depends two chandeliers, similar to those in the hall, while to the walls are affixed six brackets, each containing a lamp. In the rear of the dining room is a billiard room, which will be furnished with two tables. The kitchen is large and conveniently arranged. It contains three sinks, a force pump to supply water to the sinks, and to the bath rooms upstairs, and one of Walker, Pratt and Co., wrought iron French cooking ranges, which is heated by two fires and in which are a broiler, two large ovens, and a reservoir capable of holding 100 gallons of water. A door opens from the kitchen into a pantry, 16 by 28 feet, in which are placed a large stove, bins containing flour, sugar, etc., and closets and drawers for the crockery and glassware. Passing again into the main hall, our reporter was ushered up a broad hall of southern pine, with banisters of black walnut and found himself on the second flat. Here are the ladies parlours, luxuriantly furnished, bath rooms and bed chambers. On the third flat are a number of large and neatly furnished rooms. In all there are 62 apartments ready for occupants, 39 of which have already been engaged. Orders for others are continually being received. Indeed, so encouraging has been the patronage accorded to Capt. Herbert that it has been decided to erect a south east wing immediately. three flag staffs have been erected on the roof, from which will float the flags of Great Britain, of Canada, and of the United States.
            In the immediate vicinity stands a large stable which is under the charge of Mr. W. E. Mallory, whose well known ability to supply first-class turnouts to those requiring them need not be enlarged on here.

“Visitors to St. Andrews will find in the town several well-appointed livery stables, first-class in every particular, one of which is that of Mr. W. E. Mallory, run in connection with the Argyll Hotel. He has a fine lot of carriages, including three handsome single phaetons, a double phaeton with a canopy top, and a splendid barouche. Mr. Mallory’s stud consists of six superior horses all well harnessed, when required he furnished careful and competent drivers. His stable is located on Princess St. off Water Street, a very central location.”

More Water Tanks Required
It must be admitted that the supply of water tanks for fire purposes in this town is totally inadequate, and that the sooner steps are taken to add to the number already existing, the better for the interest of all. What is the use of keeping up fire engines for the extinguishing of fire unless water is available. This was forcibly impressed on our mind, at the fire in the O’Neill barn last Saturday night. Had that fire spread to Water Street, where was water to be found with which to protect the buildings on that street, in the block between Swift’s and Mallory’s corner on the one side, or Swifts’ and Wren’s corner on the other. Then it must be remembered, that while it is practicable to force water through long lengths of hose, in mild or warm weather, it is not so when the thermometer registers below zero. No whining cries of economy, should prevent the immediate inauguration of the policy of sinking tanks at points where most required. We look to W.D. Forster; and other live members of the Board of Fire Wards to move in this matter, and promptly to.

The new livery stable which Mr. Mallory is building on Princess Royal street, near the corner of Water, is being pushed forward with all haste. The masonry for the foundation, which was put up by Mr. William Tait, was finished some days, ago, and the wooden superstructure is now in course of erection. This branch of the work is being performed by Mr. B. G. Tower, of Woodstock who has ten men under him. The building, which is 40 x 60 feet, will have two stories above the basement. The latter will be utilized for stabling, and will be very comfortable for the horses, being cool in summer and warm in winter. The first floor is intended as a carriage room, while on the floor above the hay and feed will be stored. The building will have a pitched roof, and is designed to harmonize with Mr. Mallory’s residence of the corner adjoining. When completed the stable will be one of the most commodious and best arranged in the province.

Mr. W. E. Mallory has added some very stylish turn-outs to his already large stock. The depot wagon, which Edgcombe and Sons, of Fredericton, made for him, has arrived, and is a very handsome vehicle. It is named the “Algonquin,” and was built especially for conveying guests to the new hotels. It is richly painted and upholstered, and reflects much credit upon the builders. About twelve persons can be seated in it comfortably. In addition to the depot wagon, Messrs. Edgcombe have supplied Mr. Mallory with several other handsome driving carriages.

From there they returned to the station, and the special started off again. The Canada Pacific magnates caught the CPR train at McAdam and returned to Montreal.
