IL The Editor OF the Newport Daity
NeEs Is assured that We had 40
thought, in our article of July "a. Of ac-
cuslng him OF jealousy or envy AT the
prosperity OF Saratoga. We have long
been aware OF the difference between
the season here and at Newport, and il
was only to give our readers the reason
for the outrageous attacks OF the New
York Herald that we published what We
did
We hope the editor of the Neps will
soon be able to realize his anticipatons
of visit 10 Saratoga, as we should be
very happy TO welcome him TO our beau
tilul town. Ii he will come within the
next two weeks we can assure him Of
rich sight from our window overlook
ing the front OF the u. 5. Hotel. We
should hope for his own sake though
that he is a slaid and sober married
man, for il he is not, the = sight" OF
pretty girls to be seen from there would
sPol! HIM Tor visiting with plain matter
ol fact man as we are.
In regard 10 the visit TO Newport. we
may conclude TO accept the very press
ing invitation extended TO us by the
editor OF the NGrs, and If so il would
give us great pleasure to make his ac-
quantance.-S Saratoga Uhig.
Many thanks TO the editor of the Whiy.
We should feel no danger in visiting
Saratoga, although we are a staid old
bachelor, growing bald and somewhat
grey. The huttering of pretty girls
cannot disturb us now, if it ever did, in,
our younger doys.
