We regret exceedingly our inability to accommodate further diners at the Repulse Bay Hotel this evening due to the fact that the accommodation is already taxed to the utmost capacity. We are compelled to serve dinners on certain portions of the balcony and have reluctantly turned away over one hundred guests in the past two days.
This notice is inserted with a view to avoiding disappointment to patrons who may be labouring under the impression that we shall be in a position to accommodate them at the last moment.
