AT SARATOGA.

o.t N.- SIavem People At The Springs-More Now Haven Arrivals Garden Party.-Anter-State FrOtee- ton Against Fe1ons.
 SARATOGA, Sept. 25.--The tloe or gayety
 and mirth at Saratoga is stin at it's height | and the floods of tourists to t-1ls point con- tinue unabated. Semi-invalids, Ii such they may be termed, are numerous, buG lost slgnt of in the throngs of pleasure seekers 70 whom l Saratoga is the acme of pleasure. One of
 the most fashionable and noabls events | of the season occurred Thursday afternoon and yevenlng, the 20th inst, at the Grand l Union, the largest hotel in America, and the
 most popular in Saratoga Extraordinary I efforts had been made to have this garden party one of the most magnificent affairs, | and on grander scale than any of previous years, and it's success was most happily real | ized by the vast numbers present. To even attempts full description of it's gorgeous ness would be great task as to convince l the minds of some of our New Haven citizens of the elegant appearance of our State House in it's present condition.
 The beautiful park of the hotel was deco rated in a manner far superior to any of the past seasons. Running upon wires in vari- ous directions suspended from the stately elms were numberless Chinese lanterns of va- rious shapes and sizes, while at various points l were suspended flags gracefully festooned. The dancing pavilion was erected in the cen l ter of the park and surrounded and overtop- ped with colored tarletan artistically arranged, while coats of arms, glitter1ng stars and brilliant refectors were placed in a manner to add to the attraction. Over two thousand lights illuminated the four acres of grounds embraced in the park. The many | electric lights displayed with grandeur the whole scene and made the crysta[like | fountains shed forth sprays of rainbow varie- gations.
 In the afternoon over two hundred juve-
 nile beIles and beaux kept lively step to the inspiring music of Napier Lothian's cele
 brated orchestra. Many of the masters and
 misses were most gorgeously arrayed and well represented some of the leading families of the land In the evening the climax of the garden party was reached. Soon after $ o'clock the spacious piazza and park were thropged with multitudes of ladies and gents, many of them in full dress. The number present was about six thousand and en- braced many of the most noted people in this country and not few from foreign lands The occasion was most pleasant one, and to be long remembered by its participants Nothing but fairyland description can equal it. The charming ladies most elegant ly attired, the gallant gentlemen doing the escort, numberless tinted silks, satins and velvets, trimmed with profusion of "real point, the sparkling diamonds, exquisite gems set in rare designs, all bespoke an abundance of wealth and made up scene of grandeur rarely to be witnessed in one evenings entertainment. The occasion spoke volumes of the good judgment and ar tistic taste displaye ed by Judge Hilton and Henry Clair of the Grand Union, under whose direction the whole affair was
 planned and so successfully carried out. will only mention few of the rich costumes worn, with brief description. Childrens party-Miss Estelle Campbell

 The American Bar association meetings here during the past few days have been largely attended by prominent lawyers from various parts of the country. Professor Baldwin and Platt were among that number. At the Thursdays meeting Professor Baldwin read paper on the difference between the professional and occasional criminal, the means of protection against them and of their punishment. The report closed with set of resolutions asking that provision should be made by law in every State for keeping the record of the name. age, personal appearance, residence, occupation and general antecedents of every person who may be convicted in it's courts of felony, and subjecting all persons who have been twice sentenced to imprison- ment for any crime or misdemeanor to police supervision and surveillance, and that the committee on jurisprudence and law reform be directed to prepare and draft laws for car rying out..the intent of the above Saratoga races are, as usual, noted and well worth seeing, even by the veterans of the turf, and the interest in the pool buying is immense and extends into circles which at home are accounted exceedingly staid and not given to worldly vanities. The races are patronized by all classes, and even the ladies venture to try their luck in the pools.
