The Heather--1hs Sports-Lddies' Dresses-Ar-
ripals &c, &c.
The weather being quite cool and bracing this
morning, the ladies of the PAVILION concluded to
devote an hour OF two to bowling, and so started,
under handsome escort of papas, mamas, bro
TIERS and particular friends, for the bowling saloon
have not, at any time, the young ladies look
SO well as they did on this occasion. There was
but one exception. Miss Shaw, of Boston, the
belle of the Pavilion, slightly ndisposed, and
did not join in the sports of the morning She ac-
companied the party, however, as a spectator, and
appeared not the less interesting on account of her
comparative inactivity. She was dressed in a very
tight muslin dress. The waist, well fitted and
open In front, was fastened, about midway from
the shoulder, TO the belt, with gold button With
In this dress she slip of lace, or otner rich
material, admirably adapted 10 finish, but not spoil,
the outward costume. A sun bonnet of white
corded muslin, with an ample cape, was her only
head dress. The belle Was accompanied by her
mother, who took part In the sports OF the alley,
while the daughter engaged the gentlemen In con-
versation Her manner is very pleasing and her
amabllity OF disposition Is topic Of general re-
mark.
There are four bowling alleys here, and they
were all occupied on the occasion of which am
now writing. Me, Bliss, Of Boston, was attired
In dark blue silk dress, cut so to fit close up
the throat, which was ofnamented by q ruff of
lace. She was the fortunate competitor of the
morning genes. She counted LOG.
Miss Remson was next on the list. The tablet
on which the game was kept indicated 80 for her !;
a number, am told far below her usual count.
This young lady is great fivorite here I; she is
fuil of vivaclty, and something OF w.t.. This
morning, while she was resting tor few minutes,
DIR. P, one OF the present gallants Of Sharon,
amused himself by drawing sold Nick" in out
line upon one of the tablets. After finishing his
sketch, hoofs, horns tail and all, the doctor called
her attention 10 the picture, remarking-
"Miss R, this is the portrait OF one of the
vislters at the Springs"
"Oh indeed" replied the lady "Well, now
do you know, Doctor, thought the old gentleman
was here %
Indeed and why %
because Cooking hun tuIl in the tace,) | saw
number OF his frlesds about, and took it for
granted that he was not far distant"
The bystanders by unanimous consent exclaim-
ed, son doctor % and the doctor remarked as
blsnGly possible, 4" believe, Miss II. the alley
son 10 dressed this morning In close brown linen
walking dress; II sets sif her figure admirably,
and Is very convenient tor the exercise In which
she is engaged.
Mics Hoyt of Elizabethtown, N. j., counted 81.
She displays great deal of grace In bowling, and
appears this morning dressed In white, her hair
put up plain, the fashion of the hour. Mrs. Hof-
man was present, and took part IN the exercise,
as did also Mrs. Smith, Of Baltimore, Mrs. Bliss,
OF Boston, Miss Everett, Of Boston, who appeared
In black, Miss Rogers, of Baltimore, and quite
number more OF the IaOy DoaruerS.
The bowling bureau is under the supernten-
dence OF Mr.. Fonda, one of heads of depart
ments at Congress Hall, Albany. All who
know him, will be assured that his department
minds me of one thing for which Messrs. Landon
d Gardner deserve especial commentator. They
have, apparently, with the utmost care, sought
out men Of excellent address to fill the places of
trust and Importance about the establishment.
This IS an important item. Guests cannot always
zee the proprietor OF house; and 1t therefore
becomes necessary that his proxy should be as
agreeable as the landlord himself. la this re-
spect there can be Of complaint at the
Pavilion. All the officers in commission, and on
duty, here, are perfectly competent, and always
lot, The poi'eness of the office clerk and his
assistants are no small items in making up the
sum total OF the comforts Of public house. A
great many questions are asked, and great many
demands made, which may be met with indefinite
answers, snlenness or indifference or they may
be listened TO with attention, clearly answered,
and Otherwise responded TO, SO as to leave an
agreeable impression upon the minds OF the guest
who happens TO be the interrogation. The last
course Is pursued by clerks at this house. They
know their business, and they do it. No higher
praise need be offered
Among the arrivals this morning are the Hon.
Washington Hunt, Comptroller of the State, who,
with his family, has come here to enjoy few days
of quiet. (Mrs. Hunt's presence is hailed with
great delight by the intelligent visitors Of the
place. i have already heard many eulogums
passed upon her by those who have known her,
and enjoyed her conversation heretofore.) James
RenwIck and lady, and Miss Renwick, Of New
York Gen Lamb, also of New York Mr.. w.
w: Montgomery and Mr. "A. Montgomery, of New
Orleans. Judge Nelson and family, OF Coopers-
town, is c~ming in this aiternoon; and Daniel
Webster has taken apartments. which it is expected
ed he will occupy about the first of August.
Sharon has been wonderfully improved, and now
presents rare attractions visit to the Pavilion
should by all means be put down in their pro-
eramme, by persons who are laying out their plans
for midsummer travel p
