Rossmore House - Rotunda.       The Rossmore is lighted throughout with electricity and gas and splendidly heated by a hot water system furnished by two enormous boilers in the basement. A complete system of pipes and registers throughout the house keeps the building comfortable in the coldest weather. The most perfect arrangements have been made for providing against fire, which is a matter of great importance to the travelling public.
      The kitchen is in charge of a first class chef with everything at hand to facilitate his work in the way of up-to-date equipment, and no complaint is ever heard of the cuisine at the Rossmore.
      The laundry is one of the most complete of its kind and is fitted out not merely to do the work in the most expeditious way possible, but also with the least possible labor.
      The Rossmore bar, situated in the southern part of the building, is one of the most elaborately fitted in the province. The fixtures are all of quartered oak and include an enormous mirror. In connection with the bar are several small rooms suitable for parties who desire privacy. The bar has a provincial reputation for the excellence of thie liquors served over it.
      The Rossmore is the leading hotel, not only in Cornwall, but in Eastern Ontario. It has a branch of the C. P. R. telegraph office in the Main building and the central office of the Bell Telephone Company is located in the Annex. In fact nothing is lacking in the Rossmore that can minister to the comfort or enjoyment of its guests, and its patronage is constantly increasing.
      It is possible, of course, that in such a vast establishment many points of interest are omitted in such a sketch as this, and indeed it would not be possible in becoming limits to refer in detail to all the various points of merit. All is summed up in the comprehensive statement that outside of Toronto and Montreal, there is not a finer hotel in Canada and the people of Cornwall are to be congratulated upon having such all establishment in the town.
