d it out,
That these sausages are splendid
When they're mixed with Sauerkraut.
The only thing they rail at,
When they fain would criticise,
Is to wish the little sausage
Were a little larger size.

At the principal hotels, such as the Grand, Strauss, Wuerttemberger Hof,
and Victoria, very good meals can be procured--the mid-day
_table-d'hote_ prices varying from 3s. to 3s. 6d. Perhaps the best of
these is the Victoria, which rejoices in a grill-room, and where the
delicacies of the season are available.

There are American bars at the "American Bar," Karolinenstrasse, the
Hotel Strauss, same street, and at the Wittelsbacker Hof in the
Pfaunenschmiedsgasse.

The cafes are the Bristol in the Josephs Platz, the Central in the
Karolinenstrasse, the Habsburg and the Imperial both in the
Koenigstrasse; but do not go to any of these under the idea that they
represent the Cafe Anglais in Paris.

A very pleasant resort in the summer is the Maxfeld Restauration in the
Stadt Park. It is in the open air, and an excellent band plays at 5 P.M.
on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. A fair dinner is provided, but it
is better to order in advance by telephone.

Hanover

The Georgshalle is, and has been for the last forty years, the best cafe
and restaurant in Hanover, but is now incorporated with Kasten's Hotel.
It was the usual and, for many years, the only place of resort where a
simple and decent meal could be obtained. I am not talking of the _haute
cuisine_, because it does not exist in this city.

Kasten's Hotel is good of its kind. The Kaiser has dined there on his
occasional visits to the town. Private balls and other entertainments
are given there, and the wines are generally good.

The Tip Top Restaurant, in the Karmarschstrasse, is a comparatively
modern, pleasant, and cheery _locale_, with a good bill of fare. On
account of its proximity to the theatre it is much frequented for
suppers after the play.

There are several Biergaerten open in the summer where military and other
bands perform, but nothing but ordinary refreshment is to be obtained
here.

Leipzig

Leipzig has one good restaurant, the Restaurant Paege on the
Marktplatz,--at least it is the best in the town.

The Hotel Hauffe, in the Russplatz, is an old-established hotel, is well
conducted, and has a restaurant where one can get quite a decent dinner
if ordered beforehand.

There is also another, Friedrichkrause, Kat
