 Among the many hotels in Saratoga whose patronage already shows a good beginning, | and which will probably be well filled with guests later in the season, is the Continental This hotel is well kept, it's rooms are large l and clean, it's table iberally supplied with l the luxuries of the season, it's location very central, it's landlord extremely accommodate ing and popular, and the terms at this cara ! vansary extremely low, frem one-third to one-half less than other hotels of less pre- tensions, and would highly recommend it to the patronage of any of your citizens who expect to visit Saratoga this season and wish good home comforts that can be had at a sum of money that will come within their vacation appropriations. sI append a copy of recent dinner menu furnished at the Continental
