The Season I'm Saratoga.
OUR SARATOGA CORRESPONDENCE.

The season here has been rather backward, owing to
the GOODNESS OF the weather. All the hotels have been

been many visitors Now, however, they dropping
in in respectable numbers and the Increasing heat will
doubt bring them in in towards the end oShs
month.
Great preparations have been made for the sea-
son. The crowds that docked here last year encou-
ragged the leading houses to make large addi.
lions to thoir accommodations; and . consider
able amount OF the profits then realized have
accordingly gone into bricks and mortar. The United
States has added seventeen parors and sixty large
bedrooms 70 its already evergrown proportions and Con.
gress Hail and the Clarendon made large addi
tions There 10 doubt that the antcipations which
have induced them TO hazard this outlay will be realized

not even excepting the famous Of 1928. Il
OF made up OF ali sorts OF elements shoddy
predoninatng largely; but that did prevent tho old
hdbf who are attached to the waters, from coming
usual.
An impression prevails that the Saratoga hotels have
raised their prices 10 FIVE dollars day This mistake
BY general agreement the price the leading has
been fixed at three doar half. and tor the
class establishments at o dollar less. Considering the
advance that has taken place in all kinds OF
provisions, the increase appears moderate.
