 After quite 8 pleasant but very dusty and l rather warm ride over the New Haven and ! Northampton railroad, our party arrived in !! Saratoga about o'clock p. m. the 14th inst. ! AS yet have observed no noticeable changes since last year about this time in the place or the peoples visiting here, except more strange faces and 8 much larger number of them and somewhat fewer from New Haven. see, however, by the hotel registers that 8 great many of our New Haven families have been here and gone away within the past few he had seen over thirty here within the past day or two from city. I find here today Milo D. Futile, Esq, of Crockett < Futile, with his friends, party of some dozen and half who have been week at the Grand Union also Messrs. l.. c. Smith, P. Bige- low, Dr. Bartlett, D. C. Eaton, A. c. Wilcox and daughter, J. P. Shelley, F. r. Andrews, wife and Miss Dorman, L. Freedman and wife, w. Patterson G. Botsford and Miss M. J. Botsford, H. l.. Kelsey and Mrs. E. L. Kelsey, our honored Mayor Robertson, Mat ho GL and yuif and at our hotel, the Continental, Major Hi ram Camp and wife, Deacon Lewis Fitch and wife and son, Joseph Fitch, and wife, and R. E. Barnum and wife. Deacon Fitch informed this is his seventeenth season in Saratoga Fifty years ago he summered here when there were but two hotels, the Congress Hall and Grand Union. The latter was then but 8 small wooden structure with limited accommodations. Now it is 8 man. moth structure, occupying whole square and elaborate in it's fittings and appointments and accommodating thousands of guests. It's popularity can be somewhat imagined from the fact of it's being full to overfowing, and yesterday they were obliged to refuse 25O ap- plicants for admission. Last evening hop was given at this hotel, which was graced by the usual bellies of the season, many of whom were adorned in the most gorgeous apparel and many wore diamonds of mammoth size and exquisite brilJiancy. Ten thousand dol lar solitaires worn by the fair ladies and misses are not uncommon sights on almost any evening on the verandahs and in the par. lors of the fashionable hotels here. One can judge somewhat of the amount expended in +l,o Tod here from the fact that 8 dress sold to a young lady here a few days ago for $3, 200, which had just been put on exhibition in the windows of one of the New York branch dry goods houses located directly under the Grand Union Hotel also lace trimmings for another at $200 but such is life in this re- | sort of fashion and pleasure.
