AT SARATOGA.

socfation-Dr. Newman Hall, the
 English Divine.
 At this time of writing, Sunday, August '24th, one is almost shivering with the cold, such remarkable change has there been in the temperature within the past twenty:-four hours at Saratoga, the thermometer indicat- ing fall of over twenty degrees within that short space of time. The consequence is that many here who have been contemplating going to the mountains very soon to find
 cooler air perfectly contented to remain here awhile longer at least While many of
 our New Haven citizens have returned home,
 quite as many more have arrived from our
 city to fill up the broken links in the Sara
 toga chain of pleasure seekers from the Elm
 City. Among the many new arrivals here l
 find Governor James E. English, Professor
 Simeon E. Baldwin, (who is back again in
 New Haven), Hon. James Gallagher, William 70. Armstrong and wife, William F. Arm
 strong and wife, Mrs. c. w. Smith, child
 and nurse of same family, F. J. Easterbrook
 and wife, child and nurse, Lawyer T. H. Rus sell, O. Doolittle, wife and mother, General s. E. Merwin and wife, Rev. P. Mulholland, E. L. Goodrich, D. w. Carter, w. A. Lees and wife, Dwight D. Mallory and family (of Fair Haven), Miss M. B. May, Miss 0. Hurl- burt, Mr. and Mrs. Dudley, G. H. Hotehklss and wife, Mrs. E. Barnes, W. A. Durant, Henry E.

Fowler, Messrs J., L.. | c. and S. Hemingway, w. H. Bradley, G. E.. Hoad1ey and P. Peck; and since the arrival at the Grand Union of Dr. R. s. Ives 1 everybody there seems to be happy; lots of patients, especially among the ! ladies. One has to be pretty lively ! to get a chance for medical advice. ! His fprofessional" services were sought the other day as an escort to Miss Clara Louise Kellogg from the Grand Union to the United States Hotel to dinner. Dr. Ives says This office | hours are between 1 and a. m. for free ' cOnSuICaGlOn dIu II you COlI1e eIto1 OAtOoO hours he will charge like everything"
 ! The usual number of balloon ascensions, ! fireworks and vocal and instrumental con certs are hourishing at the Congress Park, talk ! ing place every week. Several of the hotels [ have given grand hops recently, those at the | Grand Union and United States hotels being \ largely attended by the most fashionable so- ciety. The former was full dress" affair. f The elegance and richness of the dresses I worn and almost countless number of dia- \ monds displayed nearly beggar description, and can only be fully realized by those who \ attended.
 The seventh annual meeting of the Ameri- | can Bar association commenced it's session on the 2Oth inst, and was attended by large number of leading lawyers of the Union, of whom the association is composed. Its officers
 are: Cortlandt Parker, Newark, president; ' Edward O. Hinckley of Baltimore, secretary; Francis Rawle, treasurer. Their head | quarters were at the Grand Union Hotel. I At the informal meeting at their committee \ room at the hotel Wednesday evening, among ! the number of distinguished lawyers present I was Prof Simeon E. Baldwin, of New Haven. | The regular morning and evening sessions ! were held each day at Putnam Hall. Much ! business of legal importance was each day I transacted On Friday forenoon its off cers were elected for the ensuing year. Prof. Simeon E. Baldwin WAS elected 8 member nt ! the executive committee which was com ! posed of three The committee on ''Com- ! merciaI Paper'' was instructed to take action in the matter of effecting changes in \ the patent, trade mark and copyright | laws and report their action at the next ! meeting The association reported good ! financial standing and adjourned. On Fri \ day evening they held their annual banquet | at the Grand Union Hotel, where toasts were ! given and responded to and very profitable and pleasant occasion was enjoyed.
 For the past few days there has been standing on the track of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad company at Saratoga an elegant parlor sleeping car, manufactured by the Ieve & Alden Parlor Sleeping Car com pany. of New York. The car is made inside
 and out of solid polished mahogany. It is arranged for parlor coach and contains 24 luxurious revolving arm l chairs The windows are large, the carpets ! are thick and soft the customary water urns | and closets are provided; also in one end ot \ the car is an ornamental buffet, and an ele- \ gant smoking room is enclosed 1n one end of | the car. When bedtime comes, the porter 1n | n very few minutes converts the car into | sleeping apartments for twenty-four people, | the chairs mysteriously disappearing under | the beds. Between the windows are pan elled closets which hold the bed clothes, &c., | when not in use. Arrangements are also
 made for holding the passengers clothes, l &c The ventilation is of a novel l character, and is obtained by a current | of air entering the front end ot 1 the car and passing in and out of a box ot ice; from thence through tubing under the floor the current of cold air comes up from registers in the floor. The buffet is fully supplied with silverware, napkins, refrigeTa- \ tors, etc., and large marble slab used as g | table can hold a gas stove for light cooking ! making of tea and coffee, etc., if found nee, I essary. The car is supplied with steam
 heat from pipes. steam apparatus is | closeted in the forward end of the car. Al
 together it is one of the finest cars for tht | purpose for which it is intended we have \ ever before had the pleasure of ex
 | amining The car remained on tn, track for several days for tn, purpose of giving the visitors at Saratoga
 among whom are many who are par
 I ticularly interested in railroads, chanc
 | of giving it thorough examination. Amoni
 I the hundred who gave the car a critical ex
 ! animation the universal opinion seemed to b
 | that it was considerably ahead of other sleep
 | ing cars now in general use.
 1 Ieve & Alden, the patentees, have trans
 ! ferred all the patent rights to the Sleeping
 Parlor Car company, which has capital o 1 $500, 900 and four cars running and two unde
 construction They claim it is only ques
 tion of time when this car becomes the mos
 popular car in use. The cars cost in tn
 | neighborhood of SIS, 900 each.
 | To-day the churches were very largely at
 tended The First Methodist church O
 1 Washington street contained nearly 200
 \ persons. The discourse was by the Rev. D1
 Newman Hall, of London, and he deivere
 1 very able sermon from the text recorde
 | in First Corinthians, 1st chapter and 23
 verse, ''We preach Christ crucifed." Dl
 Hall remarked in opening that this was hi
 third visit to Saratoga and the first time h
 had been invited to preach here without be ing required to solicit aid to enable his peopl in London to build the tower erected in com memoration of the emancipation of slavery ) and that the work of it's building had bee l completed and he had been honored in plao } ing the last stone in it's place at the top c , I the tower The stones of which it was bull were red, white and blue, representing ou , national co1ors, and the tower bore the nam . ! of Tinoo10 in 1arua letters on one of if
