 SARATOGA, July 1.-The warm weather which commenced in earnest with the in- coming of this month has induced many New Haven people to make engagements for ac- commodations at Saratoga Springs. Some will come here in 8 few days, while others have arranged to come in the latter part of this month. The hotel proprietors of Sara toga are buoyant with the prospect of a large business for the next ten weeks. Quite a number of fine cottages are being erected in the village by residents of New York and other large cities. Hotel rates have been considerably reduced for this season, and every arrangement consummated to make it enjoyable for the ten or fifteen thousand visitors who will be in Saratoga by the middle of August; in fact there is already sufficient gathering at the famous Hathorn springs every morn ing and evening to lead one to believe that some of the hotels must be, at this early part of the season, crowded with guests.
 The accommodations inside the inclosure of the Hathorn springs are of such liberal nature and on so grand scale that, however large the patronage may be, each can be continuously supplied with glass of this in- vigorating remedial mineral agent, renowned almost everywhere as never-failing panacea for indigestion, rheumaties, kidney com plaints and many of the most prominent dis orders which infest the general system. The courteous and most popular Dr. Mo Kewen still has his cosy office in the Ha- thorn pavilion where he has been located
 
 free consultation as to the quantity and proper time in which to in- dulge in the Hathorn waters to effect the greatest and most signal cures AS this wa ter does not contain iron in any considerable quantity, but is charged with mineral sub stances of well known medicinal virtues in it's use, comparative safety from injury to the system is settled fact. But to guard against the inadvertence of drinking contin- ually the Hathorne, together with the Colum- bian, Hamilton, Washington and other spring waters in Saratoga which strongly impregnated with iron and are to be used separately as tonic, advice, whichtwill at all times be given free by Dr. McKewen, should be carefully needed. especially by the new beginner at Saratoga. The Excelsior, Star Spring, Empire, Geyser and Congress are noted for their cathartic, alternative and diuret- ic properties only, while the Vichy spouting spring is about the only strictly alkaline
 
 and less salt than any other spring and hence is peculiarly adapted to the cure of acidity of the stomach in dyspepsia, in cutaneous af- fections, and should be taken in from one to two glasses after meals. The Hathorp should in most cases be taken in doses of from one to three glasses before meals; especially is the greatest benefit to be derived if this spring is patronized before breakfast I have dwelt at some length the subject of Saratoga mineral waters because, knowing that the great prosperity attending this fla vorite summer resort has always depended largely on the benefit visitors derive from their use At the same time I would also strive to impress on the minds of the new corners to this great pleasure mart the vast importance that it will be to them to judi ciously use these various healing waters, if a healthy state of the system is desired while here and lasting benefit hereafter. It is well known fact that the continuous and pro. miscuous drinking of these waters is very objectionable and often results in injury, while the most pleasing and beneficial results usually follow their judicious use.
 The Saratoga special train of the 4th inst, which arrived at p. m., contained fifteen drawing room coaches, consequently the reg isters at the various hotels showed several hundred new corners that evening. Many are bringing their private teams early this season. The United States Hotel stables have thirty private horses already.
 The famous c. W. Stubbs and Nathan Frankos' orchestras have arrived and will give concerts at 10:30 a. m. each day at the States and Kensington hotels. At Dr. Strongs remedial institute large number of guests are quartered, thirty-ive of whom made tally-ho trip to White Sulphur Springs, Lake Saratoga, the 5th inst. Another party-a party of anglers-are said to have had excel lent luck in pickerel catching at Lake Boni- ta, at Mt McGregor. Trains run up the mountain from Saratoga and return several times day.
 Sacred concerts each Sunday evening from the pagoda on the lake at Congress Park will soon commence; fireworks and balloon aseen- sions every week from same park; a profu- sion of band concerts from various points every morning at 10:30 and evening at 8 o'clock. The famous garden parties, which have for a number of seasons charac- terized the Grand Union Hotel, will be in- augurated soon. The evening hops ard many other entertainments are soon to com mence and will tend to make things very brilliant and lively this season at Saratoga Springs.
 The following are among the recent ar rivals at Saratoga from New Haven and vii cinity: J. c. Porter and wife, Miss T. Porter, George N. Moses and wife, J. E. Twitehell, Walter A Main and wife of West Haven, Miss E. TFowning, G. P. Durham, |
