Gamblers at Saratoga.

1t is well known that Saratoga is e "a
voritc haunt of gamblers, aud that this
season they have thrown off all attempt
at conceament John Morrissey, the ex-
prize fiEh ef, the present millionaire, and
the leading citizen of Saratoga, keeps the
most elegant gambling hell in the place.
Morrissey takes an interest in the pecuni-
airy welfare of this town, has subscribed
literally to the county bonds, and will,
probably, ere long, be Mayor of Sarato-
ga, and perhaps by and by represent Thu
district in Congress.
HIS "hoase" is quite near the railway
station, in Matilda street, the first turn
ing to the left from. the street which leads
from the depot up to Broadway =
The house is the first one on the right
hand-a large doabIo three story brick
building, with high stoo?, with parlors
On each side Of the door, and an extern
siea room extending back across the eE-
tire width Of the cliicc. The parlor at
the lett is the public room. The extern
sion is that where dinner or supper Is
served in the best style, and gratuitously
TO any patrons of the house. The other
rooms are all private, and contain fare
tables for private parties Of gay ana fes-
tive amateur gamblers,
StroIling in that vicinity about ten
o'clock at night, it IS very easy to tiaa
the place, and the doors are inv;tingiy
left wide open. Sauuterus into the LETT

has followed his profession for over twcn-

about fifty years Old, tall, with sparse
gray hair standing on eni in a state Of
rampant respectability. He looks like
country farmer, who, as the deacon of the
village church, oilers 10 his nci1hbors an
elifying example Ct goodness and grace.
This experienced professional unites to
his suaye courtesy charming and candid
frankness that is almost irresistible. He
declares with the most winning ias2Hci-
dace that Saratoga is only a resort OF
gamblers and abandoned women.7 lie
