Gratified amazement was the keynote of the general comment. The harmonious colouring of the beautifully-figured marble, plaster, and mosaic on the walls and floors and ceilings, the dignity of the bronze fittings of grilles and column heads, and the brightness given by the chromium-plated fittings, were somewhat of a surprise, and therefore doubly appreciated, and the architect was congratulated on every side not only upon the fine building, but upon the co-relation of interdependent activities housed in it. Specially attractive to the public, judging by the comments, were the booking, luggage, concourse, and platform arrangements.
