LETTER FROM cRA8 ORCHARD SPRINGS.

Eiiior Interior journal
The season has fairly opened here now,
aud numbers are daily coming for enjoy.
ment and health. 1t lisa lively scene each
day when the time approaches for the ar
rival Of the bus from the depot, and in
front Of the Hotel may be seen many gay,
guady and elegant dresses, sun shades of
every hue from the crimson to the snowy
white. The band is stationed on the porch,
and as the bus dashes in fine style up to
the front, flashing eyes and joyous words
greet their expected friends. Young peo-
pie are quite numerous now, and the result
is that there seems to be an epidemic of
Irritation about to burst forth, the results
Of which can not be estimated before an
other year rolls round, when, if appearances
don't deceive, some fatal cases may have
occurred. Let up hope that Cupid may
hurl his darts with effect at congenia
hearts, and that happiness, not grief, may
be the result. Ii has never been our good
fortune to meet so many, and such very
agreeable married people a. are here as
sembled. The ladies are pretty, stylish,
and some of them beautiful, and all, with
out any single exception, agreeable. They
strive, as do the younger ones, to make the
time pass pleasantly, and they succeed
The older gentlemen have already estab.
lished several standing games of euchre,
which is played on the broad verandah in
front Of the Hotel proper, and their loud
and merry laughter makes the welkin ring
when some lone hand is defeated, or a
euchring hand picked up. Several ladies
from Lancaster and Stanford graced the
hooi Of the ballroom last Friday night at
the full dress ball, and enjoyed themselves
greatly. The ladies we're noticed for their
grace and beauty Of person and perfect
dancing. The gentlemen were handsome
and apparently agreeable, aud danced the
round dances to great perfection. Your
correspondent was inclined to write them
up in full, costumes and all, but was un.
able to get their names in full from a resi-
dent Of Stanford, and presumed they pre-
ferred not to be mentioned in any public
letter. Suffice US to say that their visit
was fully appreciated by those at the
Springs, and hope they will come up each
Friday night to the ball, and oftener, too,
il agreeable to them. We will always give
them hearty welcome. The great feature
of the week was the opening of the Park
Hill Track on Saturday last for series of
races every Saturday during the season.
Mr.. Farris is manager and owner; Gen.
Robinson and Col. Welch, Judges, and
Maj. Lawrence, Secretary. Ga Saturday
afternoon about five hundred people as
sembled there, including visitors to the
Springs The large omnibuses were COM
PEELED to make several trips for the accom-
mediation Of all, who were well paid for
their visit. The Grand Stand was crowded
to its utmost capacity, and many were un.
able 10 secure seats, but saw the races from
the bus, carriages and bugges. When the
Judges rang the bell for the horses 10 come
up, six appeared for the first race, and after
two alse starts, at the tap of the drum,
we're OIL in gallant style. Space and time
will prevent a detailed account, but the
racing was far beyond our expectation,
and three in number. Also fine display
of trotting by the great Sirook, accompan-
led by racer at his side. Since your visit
