UNION HALL, SARATOGA, July H. 1900.
Last evening an invitation was receNed iloni
Major Leland 10 take long walk In the morning peiore
breakfast lust to give you little appetite says tne
Major with little laugh as an aside"
At seven this morning we started the Major taxing
his cane which gave rise to the belief that We were 70
have a lengthy promenade, which we did'
ur first visit was down many steps to the rock foun'
Sson of the hotel into the vast wine vaults where Is
stored a stock that woud make Ga prince envious.
Then into the vast grocery and provision establish
ments containing food enough for an army-a small
one NAV be- The laundry came under inspection next,
with the numerous tidy old auntiesold retaDers-that
e1peot their brghtcoored "kerchiefs when the Major
goes TO New. York. The crimping.room is fitted up
with gas for all heating purposes Next, we are trudg'
;nq among such piles Of china porcelain and glass that
the soppositon is that the Major has in his mind the
building of porcelain tower this being the material
collected for the purpose During this portion OF the
excursion we had travelled entirely on path OF rock
smooth and perfect, almost without flaw.
Now we ascend from the domains of the goodbumored
aunties and are among the "high artists"-importa'
tions from France with the white head gear SAID to
have been brought over with them-to impress tie
young American that they quite as important as
the driver of the big coach IF not little more
so
But no Youthful American will venture into the
domain of the imperial chief of the culinary depart
ment There is tradition among the nurses believe
that "the great mans long knife can off with bad
little boys head-eyer so quick"
Now we walk nearly hef mile of hallwayi the
Major humping along with his canc' discovering al
the minute left undones," and not surprising me oy
the remark that he should be obliged to have tee'
gIaph communication the next thing.
The splendid bath.house--the inviting swimming
bath with its ever-changing iow-is the most com
plete Of its kind in the country Now" says my
genial escort "Im tired. we've had over one hours
walk AID we are not half through. Breakfast, and
after you are well rested III give yon another tramp
Asserting to the first and having full belief that the
Major had stair performance in view for the next
excursion informed him that had no objection to
little mountain climbing now and then, but would like
TO take the cool of the morning for 1t and take some
lunch along The foreign visitors are neveI-eeasing IN
their expressions of surprise at the vasness OF the
hotels They wonder about seemingly on "doing-lt-
up excursion never seeming tire in their investga
hon so long az something new is to be discovered
At the Opera House last evening 1r. Grover gave US
Aspendid rendition Of Tom Taylors Still Waters Run
Deep" The audience good both in point of num-
bers and society," The care with which the piece had
been put on the stage toetes and lite etceteras were
thoroughly appreciated.
The acting have never seen surpassed. Clarks
Captain Hawkesby was never better done; and Potter
ss done by Mr.. Chapman, could not be improved.
Miss Fanny Morant as Mrs. Sternhod and Miss Liz
sie Price as Mrs. Mdmay were good. Lswlor as John
Mildmay is triae too impressive with his impertur
art.lnp lv
very acceptable to the audience.
Foot music is on the decade "cat calls are I'M
known, and the general quiet is very comfortable to
ears that have had their full qusutum of small boy
noises at the different places Of entertainment in our
large cities.
The orchestra is more and more appreciated. A
movement On foot to induce Mr.. Grover to undertake
O sacred concert ON Sunday next.

The Indians are doing quite driving business their
