 The postofice department is quite admira- bly conducted in Saratoga this season.

August will exceed July by much | larger figures.
 The Bar association meets here this week | and the Democratic State convention next | week, to be followed by the Republican State ] convention. Lively times are expected all around. Lawyers and politicians are begin 1 ming to congregate here as thick as toads af- ! ter 6 thunder storm and are quite as anxious l that the fastest horse shall come in ahead as the ladies are these days at the races, when | their biggest wagers are made. Speak1ng o1 \ races. those who have funds and the disposl- ! ton to invest for luck seem to be quite un' I decided which of the two pools to patronlze politics or running horses. Many have de | cided after thorough examination of the ] two that the latter is the safer and SC | 4a A1a | beginning at about ii o'clock and last just long enough to convince the inexperienced ! of the great Uncertainty of uncertainties, ! and, like defeated politicians after the expi ration of their limited partnerships, seem tc
 be attacked with a common complaint calico
 "goneness." But then, in Saratoga the usua remedy is applied and with few glasses o
 Hathorn or Congress spring all their sins ar' l washed away.
