One of the reporters of the London Times cama
over in the Great Eastern, and is now reporting
the progress OF the Prince for that journal. Before
entering Canada he visited several points of interest
In the United States of Saratoga Springs he
writes:

totally different from all others. Two of them, the
ohlted states and Union Hall, occupy five acres of
ground! The dining gsaoons are bigger than the
floral-hall and are laid with tables to dine OOO
people; the dancing rooms are larger, loftier, and
nandsomer than any two public rooms of the kind
these are almost little parks where between the
trees are detached cottages, all belonging to the
hotel, and occupied by wealthy Southerners and

luxury IN America-a little privacy. To these
hotels, and to Saratoga generally, some 25, 900
people come in the season to drink the waters. to
dress, drive, lounge, gamble, and go away again
after six weeks stay, to Newport, Niagara, or
any other place where American citizens in a hoi-
