FAsHro~ABLE WATERING PLACES. The balmy
month of June-sometimes more insuferaby hot
than balmy-witnesses a very singular scene in the
metropolis There is not quite as much moving as
on the first Of May, but families, having taken
thought, prepare TO move themselves into the coun-
try, and fashionable circles arrange their several
programmes for the summer-selecting the best con-
Quoted hotels and the most superior locations in the
country, for enjoying the days Of the summer
solstice.
Since the last season, many changes have taken
place in the celebrated fashionable hotels, some of
the propre,ors having sold out stepped cut into
more eligible and commodious quarters; and the
fashionable circles, too, have resolved to confnc
their abodes chiefly to certain admired and charm
ing localities. Among these, the hotels at Saratoga,
which have been celebrated for years past for balls
hops and other highly appreciated entertainments,
will have their usual patronage, Saratoga still
maintaining its fashionable character. Lebanon
Springs, however, will be popular with elegant So
ciety as Saratoga. In the neighborhood, the most
delightful scenery and advantages for fishing and
shooting add to tho delights Of residence, while at
the best hotels there, the proprietors will spare no
expense to increase the pleasures Of vsiters by adj
mirable entertainments. At Newburgb, on the
House, which is situated some distance from the
village, on q commanding eminence, and which is
emil osomed by trees and made delightful by prom
enades and drives will be Of the best residences
Messrs. Blake and Reed, who had the Stonington
House last year, have wisely selected this new site
for the fashions liable world. In the immediate vicin
ity Of New York, Fort Hamilton will at an early
day rece We hundreds Of vsiters anxious
to enjoy the invigorating influence of sea brcezes
and sea bathing. The Neptune House at New
Rochelle, the Pavilion at New Brighton, and the
Ocean House at Rockaway, will also be very pop
ular with those who desire 20 be near the In
the interior, the hotel Of Mr.. Cozzens, at West
Point, will attract ma usual. Thi, is delight
fully situated on high ground, and must al
WAYS prove a desirable summer residence
1t was at this spot that General Scott took
up bis quarters last July, and be will probably
be there this season TO receive the congratulations
Of his friends on the prospect Of the White House,
which is a great distance of. Travellers who are
on their way to the White Mountains-where the
hotels are all quite indifferent, even TO the in
the gap-will not forget the Massassit House, at
Springfield, where elegance, nca.ncss, and plenty
at once strike the attention, and make the pilgrim
desire TO tarry. II lie worth going hundred miles
out Of ones way 20 sec what Springfield exhibit
in the hotel line. The whole world and "the est
Of mankind" should visit Springfield, TO know what
o comfortable hotel really is.
Well. The irSt Of June is near. The sun will
on he too hot for the deniyens Of the city, and
those who are travelling in search of fine breezes
and enjoy ment will remember, among other plea
cant places of resort, those which We have named
as the present themes Of parties preparing to leave
the city for the sesRon We have MOI yet heard
what are the themes Of those who shut themselves
Up in back parlors during the fashion ,ble season,
and who are thus able to be "out q town" from
June to september, without ever being heard Of
or seen.
