SARATOGA SPRING, June Goth.

,-12 SARATOGA SPRING, June Goth.
The hotel keepers here were inclined to
grumble little at one or two Of the cold
days last week, but. after all, reference
to their books showed business improved
from the corresponding period last year.
The class who come thus early are mostly
the quiet ones who like to take their ease
and indulge the dalcef far m'el'ts. The private
boarding houses of the better class obsorb
large numbers of this kind of visitors, re-
tanning many of them during large part
of the season. This has caused the open
ing of many boarding houses of superior
quality here, and the number of these in
creases yearly. 1t is very pleasant to
| walk about the streets and see the new
houses opening and improvements max
ing, and recognize the old visitants set
Ting in their improved quarters so cosy
The event of last week here was the an
nual meeting of the State Editorial Asso'
citation. There was somewhat over one
hundred members in attendance, and as
good editors should do, they brought theil
wives with them. They were entertained
as honored guests at the Grand Union Ho
tel, and had high old time with excur
sions to Saratoga Lake and Lake George
The readers of the papers, whose editors
spent Thursday and Friday of last week
in attendance on the convention here
may expect mixture of Saratoga waters
Moons fried potatoes and various Other
special Saratoga fixtures, served up tt
them during the next few weeks, in al
their varieties and admixtures. The mem
bers of the convention left a very favora
BILE impression here generally, and they
will be cordially welcomed hereafter. The
proceedings of the convention were of lit
tie interest, except to the members. w
T. Tinsley, Esq, of the Lyons Republican
made long and carefully prepared prac
tical address on the first day of the ses
sion, which reminded me very much o
the one made by Mr.. Clark of st. Adams
to the Vermont editors, although Their
was no such similarity as might result
from previous perusal of it. 1t onl,
showed how practical men, in working
out the same problem, will get into sim
liar style of reasoning. The poem b,
Prof. Hopkins of Rochester, was witty
punning jingle, that sounded we'll an'
reads very we'll also. The constitution
was adopted and the association placed oil
a substantial foundation here.
The first race meeting of the season
will commence on the 18th of next month
Already several stables have arrived wit
crack nags from the South and West
while others will arrive as soon as tn
meeting at Long Branch, commencing
next week. is over. Some of the most ex
citing races that have ever taken place il
this country may be expected during tn
meeting here. John Harper, a veteran
breeder of Kentucky, makes his first visi
east thisyear and brings brag nag .name'
Longfellow, of which great expectation
are formed. He is entered to compel
with Glenelg, Helmbold, Hamburg
Preakness, Judge Durrell and others TO
the Saratoga cup, on the third day of tn
meeting.
A beat race on Saratoga Lake is also OIL
the programme for the season. A purse O
five thousand dollars have been subscribe
and will be offered for the Tyne, s.
Johns and an American crew, to row o.
Saratoga Lake early in September.
corresponden nee has been commenced wit
a view to this end. VIAToR.
