 WA. B. writes from Saratoga: Most of the hotels in Saratoga are full. The Grand Union, the largest here, holding some 2,Soo, had to room out on Saturday night quite number, no rooms in the house being un- occupied. The weather is warm, but not un- comfortable. Among the arrivals since our fast we noticed Captain G. s. Arnold and wife just from Niagara Falls, Ex-Auditor Charles Kimberly and wife, Isaac N. Damn and wife, Charles H. Webb and wife, Dexter Alden, wife and daughter, Dr. R. s. Ives and J. Garfield. Some of them are gone away. MT. Seabrook and family have been here sev- eral weeks and will probably remain until September. Theyare much benefited in health I met Dr. Smith, dentist, few days ago. We have just returned from concert on the mark. A very large. number of persons were present. The park was brilliantly lighted with electric lights. Some 1000 persons at- landed church to hear Mrs. Beecher sing. She sang very finely, but our party all dec1d- ed that either Miss Gaffney, Mrs. Robertson, Mrs. BIinn, Mrs. Thompson or Mrs. Arm OOG54NCA0RAJ forts on this occason, and we wished either of the ladies were present to compete The St. Louis millionaire's wife, Mrs. Rose Fra ley, is again at Congress Hall with her forty odd trunks and never ending series or dresses The members of the Chinese em- bassy, who were here recently, attracted much attention at the Grand Union in their picturesque costumes me costliness and elegance of the ladies' apparel at the limited States and Grand Union Ho- tels can hardly be described, but must be seen to be appreciated Ono lady sports parasol costing $500. Diamonds are as con- mon as pebbles on the seashore, Izany of them exquisitely fine and large. At the grand hops and promenades each seem to vie with the other as to who shall make the grandest display.
 The various mineral springs are patron ized by multitudes every day, more largely in the early morning and evening. Great mistakes are often made in selecting the proper kind of water adapted to the system or special infirmity to be combatted, also in partaking of too many kinds, each of which possess different ingredients and are adapted for different conditions of the sys- tenn. The Hathorn and Congress spring waters, which are the most popular, are 3 purpative and for immediate good results are taken warm and before breakfast, accom- panied by.a brisk walk of half hour or so. The Hamilton, Columbia and Washington springs are tonic, and wonderfully tone up a system requiring iron. They are used in
 the evening and just before retir- | ing, but the effect they produce on some constitutions is similar to a dose of opium, or, as one described it tc
 me after partakipg of considerable quanti ty, the effect was as if one was floating above | in the third heavens. The cathartic waters first mentioned are taken in doses of from one to five glasses at time. I think usually two to three glasses at time will suit most
 constitutions The Congress water IS muct
 the mildest and it's effects more moderate The Hathorn is more rank in taste, being
 more strongly impregnated with mineral and is consequently more rapid in it's effects Our genial friend, Selectman Feldman, in formed me that before he left home feV
 weeks ago his health was very much i'm
 paired, had muai Iain in hi breast and otherwise about him so tha l much distressed him. After he had used thu
 Hathorn and Congress waters in quantitiei l as described before breakfast followed witl
 exercise, his pain left him in two days time and he is now able to beat most of the young
 CT men in taking long walks and can go al
 most any distance without pain or feeling il the least uncomfortable. He feels now Hk
 a new man, and so hear reports from oth CTS who under similar circumstances finc themselves in the same good condition O. health and strength. If everybody wht comes here to be benefited in health woult use good common sense and moderatel! use the waters, taking proper amount O daily exercise and be as careful of what the. eat and drink here as their bodily condition
 demands, they would be sure to receive last l ing benefit in few weeks sojourn in thi

 fine harnesses used here are very heavily and
 exquisitely trimmed with silver. White and | russet collars are much used on the fine
 orses. The Union avenue drive is, in sh ort, alive every day with fine steppers. l have
 mentioned only very few of some of the fin est have observed here which must answer for this time.

 some ladies stopping here, for fear, although | "photographer," might not be a good | judge of such matters and make serious mis | takes. But from mere hearsay might state l that one of the handsomest ladies stopping
 here is Miss Rosemary Murray, daughter ol
 Judge Murray, of New York. She Is beau
