where there Is more health, less dressing an

respect to comfort, elegance, tone, attraction,
there is as little choice between the two as could

them in the metropolis, nor ret In the hotel city
| of the continent Chicago. That is SAYING suf-
! ficient. surely, but not too much. The Spanish
families are concentrated, this year, at the
American, which has taken the lead very de-
cidctlIy among the second-vlass houses. Last
winter the Union was the Spanish centre, and
the prettiest children on its playground we're
the dark -hued, large-eycd Cubans. The Claren-
don has its usual quota Of New. Workers, who
never think OF breaking over the habit of years
and going anywhere else. The large hotels are
having their province cncroached upon by the
boarding-houscs. These have been full I'LL
summer, and each year gain little ground,
especially among those who wish to drink the
spring water for month or more, and to whom
hotel prices for family, however s1nall, may
we'll seem mountain without pass.
THE ATTRACTIONS OF THE SEASON
have been mostly confined to Mr.. Morrisscy's
programme Of races The first week was q
"benett " week, to use theatrical term, for
the Hon. Johns brother Senators, who managed
to try various things, besides Mr.. Ellis, the un-
fortunate Superintendent OF Banks. The latter,
BY the way, could not have selected place for
trial which would have been more likely to Sc
cure easy acquittal. There is no method to
"ti1n a jury more satisfactorily than to feed
them highly, furnish them with the hattery Of
fair eyes, and throw In the excitemcnts OF run
Mug horses and mutual pools mutual in that
nearly everybody loses together. There has
been much amusement here over Mr.. Morrissey's
unblushing cffrontery. He certainly has won
his title as the most "cAeckr - man III the State.
Bret Harte's coolest manipulation Of the ready re-
yolyer had no GOODNESS to exceed that Of the
anti-Tammany chief. To vote against pool
selling: to lift up his bands in horror at the
wicked ways of the turfmen at Jerome Park; to
dcprccate gambling in elections. then to
quietly open the auctioneer's stand at his
own course; to put up slight fence

even by the careless citizen Of Poker Flats.
The second race season, just closing, has proved
much more lively and profitable than the first,
and extra DAYS will be forthcoming. For
number ol years the races have been introduced
and supplemented By rcgattas on the lake.
This time they have had no such aid. The
