To say that Saratoga is crowded with visitsrs,
would only be repeating what has already beea
said by you but il is more than crowded. The
place is perfect jam. The United States Hotel
cannot hold anything like the number Of guests
who daily dine, breakfast, and sup at its tables.
1he proprietors are consequently Obliged 10 colo
nlze new corners, and they have well nigh filled
all the regular colonies or lodging houses. The
immense dining halls crowded every day at
three O'Clock, and large numbers dine at the later
hour halt past -four, M order 10 secure place but
besides all these, many who board at the house are
absent on private dinner excursions, or order sep

The United States is not alone Ia is fitness. Con-
eress Hail and siou Hall also full TO REPETITION
and are also Obliged 10 resort 10 colonization. As
To the smaller hotels, they also share the good for

sion of the exercises the students we're addressed

Of the hotels since arrived. The lahirs, whom
have seen in the steet, and on the balconies, and
shaded walks about the hotels are for the most
part sia.d and reserved, even towards each other
They have chosen warm dresses for a day or two
past, on account Of the cold weather. One thing
must shy in all candor namely, that the ladies are
pretlily and cbastrly ntired, mere so than | have
setn for the past hive years.
