 SARATOGA, June 26.-While the season at Saratoga is not yet rushing, still quite large
 numbers of people from various parts of the
 Union are arriving at the various hotels Among them are to be noticed many very
 distinguished personages. Men of wealth,
 men noted for their high standing in the
 various professions, men who have a national
 reputation in the great political arena, men
 of we'll known scientific and financial attain
 ments. It is fact worthy of mention
 that probably there does not exist on this
 continent place of summer resort more popular with all classes of people than this very Saratoga, and it has come to be an ex- caption to find amsng the great majority of summer tourists many who consider their vacation season satisfactorily completed with out having spent at least week or two in this Eden of comfort and luxurious rest. It has often been remarked by those who have
 been the rounds that they have never been able to obtain the same amount of enjoyment and sight seeing for so small a sum of money as at Saratoga. The benefit to health to be derived by the use of the various mineral waters-even for short season-to be obtained here is be- NOnu pTlC6. n1dIly UrOhcu uOWu COuSGltu- tions and much dilapidated nervous systems have been partially if not wholly restored by judiciously drinking of the kind of waters best adapted to their constitutions.
 One of the most popular springs is said by
 eminent chemists to be the Congress, which
 is situated on the renowned Congress Park.
 So popular has this water become that many
 invalids spend the summer in Saratoga espe-
 cially for the benefits derived from it's use,
 drawn sparkling and refreshing direct from
 the springs. Crowds of people commence at
 early morn to flock to the Congress Park
 spring and continue their patronage until
 late in the evening, freely partaking of the
 health giving waters while listening to en-
 chanting strains of melody from one of the
 finest and largest orchestras in Saratoga.
 The druggists convention has just closed
 it's annual meeting. It was attended by delegates from all parts of the universe.
 Much very important business to the frater-
 uity was transacted.
 The alumni of the High school held their annual reunion at the Continental Hotel the 20th inst. There was very large attend ance and the interesting exercises and boun- tiful spread were much enjoyed. The High school is in a most prosperous condition under the management of Principal E. w. Jones.
 Large numbers each day repair to Mt. McGregor to view the present home of the suffering ex-President. Among the distin- guished visitors who called on Geheral Grant to-day were Judge Henry Hilton and son, J. B. Hilton. They were most cordially re- ceived. The judge and the general, who have been close and intimate friends for about quarter of century, clasped each others hands warmly in greeting. The gen eral conducted dis portion of the conversa- ton through the agency of pencil and paper wrote on slip of paper the following:
 ''I find the air very fine here. this must hecome a great sanitarium before many years.''
 After the judge had been shown through ! the cosy cottage the general handed him the I following: months The chairs you saw in the back room I have served me instead. IhaVe found nothing bet
 Judge Hilton on entering General Grants ! room found that the bedstead had been re- moved, the invalid having been compelled to dispense with the use of such an article of furniture some time ago. Several easy and reclining chairs occupy it's place. Judge | Hilton prizes highly the slips written by the silent general and will never part with them. He remained at the cottage about two hours, during which time he enjoyed the company If the general and members of the family.

 Captain Wells, for w. H. Barker, photog | "apner, made some very lIe pictures OI Gue Il general and his family, grouped on the west m end of the north piazza. The phalanx of | reporters the summit were also grouped | and surrounded by the captains camera.

 We are interested to learn that the Conti | mental Hotel has opened an agency in your | city at Beers photo parlors, 762 Chapel | street, for it is indeed great | to be able to I secure in advance the comforts to be found 4 n this admirable hotel. The Continental has | nice rooms, large, airy dining room, tables | well supplied with the best the season af- ! lords The house is well managed and good home-like comforts can be secured at prices ! much lower than asked at many other | hotels in Saratoga. This hotel was quite ! largely patronized by New Haven people last ! season, and we understand many more from ! your city have already signifed their inten- ] tion of making it their headquarters during | the summer months. |
