 SARATOGA, July 23.-New Haven people begin to be quite numerous in Saratoga. Al most daily new arrivals are recorded and constantly met as one promenades up and down Broadway, or ss he partakes of his fla vorits "Hathorn and Congress" at the springs. Among the many new arrivals from New Haven are Thomas R. Trowbridge jr., president of the Board of Aldermen; Wallace B. Fenn and wife, P. Fenn. J. E. | Mitchell, John 0. North.
 During the past week 8 number of special entertainments have been given in Saratoga for the pleasure of it's thousands of visitors. | None was more enjoyable than the evening entertainment held on Congress Spring Park, Tuesday, the 20th inst. It was for the special 1 benefit of the Home of the Good Shepherd l and was enjoyed by very large attendance. | The handsome grounds were illuminated by electricity Chinese lanterns and Paine's color | ed glass bulbs The walks and lawns fairly l gIittered and twinkled like fairy stars by | these various colored lights, which were ! arranged in stars and crosses, grottoes, etc The colonnade was the gayest place in the | park. The hillsides of the park were most l beautifully illuminated. Near the springs | were tables of fancy articles and flowers pre- | sided over by bevy of fair ladies elegantly | costumed who offered their ware for sale. l Refreshments in abundance weres served in the cafe. Doring's orchestra was stationed hQ aIaotrIn HOhtR and discoursed fine dancing music, while the young ladies and gents tripped the light fan fastic in the annex pavilion. The ladies who were instrumental in arranging and conducting this grand entertainment met with great success every way, and tnelr accounts show net profit of about one thousand dollars for the benefit of the Home of the Good Shepherd.
 The morning union prayer meetings are becoming more interesting each day and are very largely attended at 1 o'clock. Several parties with an eye to business, evidently have gained in some way an early entrance to the rooms and distributed in the pews handbills, dodgers, cards, etc., relative to rival railroads, wonderful bargains in mer- chandise, time of races, etc. Rev. Dr. Leech, who is present early, often removes the ads. He said yesterday that these ad- vertisements always reminded him of the 'Holmes eating house" at Philadelphia, dur

 On the south wall a plaoard read as fol lows:

 under her wings
 Two fried boiled eggs ten cents
 On the west wall appeared the following:
 Entertain angels unawares'
 Lodging fifty cents
 The genuine Christian Yankee is bound to be diligent in business, serving the Loro wherever you put him. With the opinion of a famous traveller as to Saratoga as pleasure resort l will stop my ramb1ings and repair to the Grand nlon to enjoy their third annual hop of the season. q have passed twenty y-nine seasons in Sar- atoga and I think that it is the greatest wa tering place in the world. l have visited about every resort of note in this country and in Europe, but there is not single one that can compare with this" said Captain William Turn bull of New York city, while seated on the millionaire piazza at the United States Hotel yesterday morning. "Mr. Marvin" he added, l guest stopping at this hotel, and guess that he is correct I've seen world of people stop here during these years, but num- Der of the old-time familiar faces have passed away; time stops for nobody. Do miss Mr. w. H. Vanderbilt Well, I should say I did, and at times it seems as if he was about to step out on this piazza and take his accustomed place right here; you know how it is, person at times doese| not realize that his old friend has gone, and the imagination pictures the familiar form I came up to Saratoga before the Fourth of July, and the absence of MT. Vanderbilt made it appear so lonesome that went back to New York city, but I did not rest easy until returned and here I am for the season as usual. Saratoga's beautiful shade trees, principally the elms-and the beautiful, bracing climate, and the springs-why, there is nothing like it.'' At this juncture, William R. Travers, accompanied by Addi- son Cammack, drove up to the Division street entrance, when Captain Turnbull waved his hand to them in recognition, and then stepped forward and greeted them heartily as they ascended the piazza steps. Messrs. Travers and Cammack are also reg ular habitues of Saratoga Springs, and they, too, take pride in recalling the number ot seasons that this national resort has been their summer home.
