"THE BLACK CAT."

A VERY popular restaurant.

J Situated in a convenient position at the corner of Customs and Commerce Streets, Auckland, the Black Cat restaurant renders an important scrvioc to a busy mercantile section of the citv. It is surrounded by offices and warehouses, and its nearness to the Auckland railwav station, which is only about fifty vard's distant, makes it a great convenience to the travelling public, and to the manv men who are engaged in one war and another in and about the city's railway : terminus. Wholesome and appetising three course | meal« form a big feature in this cstab- ! h'hment. Lunches are -served between j noon and two o'clock, and dinners bej tween o o'eloi k and 7 p.m. For either i 0I " these meals the charge is onlv 1 '3, ■ than which there is no cheaper meal of -uch quality to be obtained in town, "rills. eg;: dishes, or other light refreshments, together with tea. coffee and cocoa, may be had at any hour of ihe day, while in l-ii - evening suppers , a.e m:\ ed until 11 o clock. Night-time and Sundays. There are not many places ,n Auckland where the food requirements of the people can be met at night-time and on Sundays, and in these respects the Black Cat restaurant affords a very welcome ! service. These c,, Pr j a | facilities that are j offered j us tif y Ihe management in ex pc-.'ng a full share of daily patronage as well. e j The existence of this cafe is a great jlxjon to many travellers by night, who. . tji wearily waiting on the cold , w aarves or comfortless railwav station. | may visit the Black (at. and fortifv , themselves with hot food in com fori. Ino approaching eol<] weather will still further emphasise the value of the establishment which provides most welcome meals when the other eating-houses are closed.
