Royal Hotel

Royal Hotel (John Coyle, proprietor), Main and Onslow Streets, Ohingaiti. This hotel, which has recently been completely renovated, possesses fourteen large, well-ventilated bedrooms, seven sitting-rooms, and a fine dining-room with chairs for thirty guests. There are twelve loose-boxes, which afford ample accommodation for horses, and vehicles are on hand for hire on the shortest, notice. Mr. Coyle is a native of Auckland, and was brought up to the business. Early in life he entered the police force, and continued for twenty-three years in the service, the last sixteen years of the term having been spent in the Rangitikei District. Mr. Coyle has acted for many years as handicapper for local racing clubs, and is said to be one of the best in the Colony. He retired in favour of Mr. Henry, the professional handicapper, but still acts for the Rangitikei Hunt Club, and for the second day's races at Feilding. Mr. Coyle is very popular as a host, as well as in his personal relations.
