There are few cafés in Canada better or more favorably known than the G. T. R. restaurant at Cornwall, which has been looked upon as one of the most up-to-date in the country since its establishment 36 years ago. Peter St. Thomas, a native of Williamstown, came to Cornwall in 1879, to act as manager of the café for his sister, Mrs. Fournier, (now Mrs. Randolph of Kingston), in which capacity he remained until 11 years ago, when he became sole proprietor. Under his management the popularity of the restaurant has steadily increased. A glance at the accompanying illustration will show that the dining room is most conveniently arranged for the accommodation of the travelling public.
      Mr. St. Thomas is one of Cornwall's most public-spirited citizens, and is an active promoter of the Old Boys' Re-Union.

      One of Cornwall's most imposing and best regulated hotels is the Broderick House, an illustration of which appears below. This hostelry, which is admirably located opposite the G. T. R. Depot, was erected in 1889 by Mrs. James Broderick, and has since been conducted by this lady with the assistance of her sons, one of whom, James Broderick, jr., is manager at present. The Broderick House to-day enjoys one of the best paying trades in Eastern Ontario. Its accommodation is unexcelled and every attention is given to the accommodation of its guests. The bar, while not the largest in town, is second to none in the quality of its liquors and cigars. The Old Boys are assured of a hearty welcome at The Broderick House.
