weather and daily increase in tho number OF
summer guests registered during the week have
given this resort moro lively appearance than at
any previons time during the season. Among the
recent arrivals may be seen tho familiar faces OF
those who have annually for many years made this
VILLAGE their summer resting place. President Mli-
gan of the Board of Trustees has again called tha
attention of the villagers to the village ordinances
which prohibit any pyrotechncal or empower en-
thrsasm within the corporate limits on the Fourth
of July. The ordinances referred to have been in
force for several years. and probably will be for
some time to come. Many visitors reach Saratoga
previous TO the Fourth of July, in order to escape
the din and roar caused by exuberant young Ameri-
ca in other places and the fact that one OF the
largest fires this place experienced occurred on
the anniversary of Independence Day led the Will
authorities several wears ago to enact these pre-
cautonary measures The Fourth will be observed
here in a manner peculiar to Saratoga, and it will
be in the usual quiet and reserved manner. The
hotels and boardng-houses distinguish the day by
an elaborate bill of fare and o number of ban
quet-hals toasts and responses add spice to the
extra spread Representatives of every State IN the
Union contribute their fve-minute eloQuence, and
the day is made joyous one.
