  Advert in Freeman's February 18, 1885. Word of the day: "superintendence"

  This old-established and well-known Hotel is now under the sole superintendence of the proprietor,and affords every accommodation to commercial gentlemen and tourists. The whole internal arrangements have been remodelled. The sanitary arrangements have been carefully looked after under the superintendence of an eminent engineer.
