SARATOGA August 81, 1854.
Pieosasss Of Trarei-Roufe from Niagara
Matters nj the Springs Cie Hotels, SC.
The route from Niagara through Lake Onta
rio, down the ST. Lawrence river to Montreal
or Quebec, and from either OF these points to
Saratoga via Lake Champlain and Lake George,
abcunds with the most beautiful scenery and
possesses more object- Of thrilling interest and
pleasurable excitement than any other of equal
extent probably ia the world. This is saying a
great deal, but, in truth. not too much as every
traveller who has made the trip will acknow-
ledge. And then Saratoga is placed just where
it should beat the end OF the route as a
finale, sort of light ssert after hearty, sub
stantial dinner, in discussing which the wise
will occupy plenty of time for reflection, con-
temptation and comparison, particularly no.
ting how much the fashionable white
kid society he has just encountered are
indebted for present liberty and indepen

hardy champions of freed ,m, who made every

The great drawback to this place is the delay
in getting here and returning, on account Of
the steamboat getting aground and not being
able to work itself off before the tide falls.
Sometimes twelve hours are consumed In o
passage from New York to the Ocean House.
But 60 long time does not often happen. Still,
1he boat almost always gets aground, and you
Gre more Or less detained. This is great in
Fiction, Int not all. Another one awaits You
en shore. The ride from the Ocean House to
Long Branch Is tedious drive Of five miles,
through nothing but sand, and you are lucky If
you can get behind pair Of horses that will
go faster than walk most of the way.
The principal hotels here are situated along
the shore, about one eighth Of mile distant
rom each other. They are eight in number,
and Will average about one hundred and eighty
boarders eacb. The names of them are, the
Metropolitan, United States, National. Norris,
Pavilion, Green, Rowland, and Conover.
and several farm houses situa ed back
Ia the country. All were filed two
weeks ago. but now each is about quarter
full, and daily diminishing.
The great sport OF this sand bank is Of course,
lhe surf bathing. Each house has man ex-
presely to take charge of the ladies wheu they
> battle, and it seems to me that they delight to
"waDtOn with the breakers" Tney no more
mind being knocked down by big wave than
they would to dance the schottish. Without
/; this excitement the ocean would be nothing to
them. But much prefer myself to sit upon
the bank, and watch the varied changes it un.
