He has never had quite so ninny diners of different nationality to serve at the same time. In one hotel on Saturday night there, were six nations represented at one table—-France. Spain, tiermany, Italy, America and Russia—and tho waiter gave a representative, of the 'Daily Mail' his views on tho characteristics of tho diners.
