MUSIC, MIRTH AND GAIETY.

SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. Y, Aug. c.
The high tide at Saratoga has come at
last with the advent of August, after a
season Of unprecedented dullness.
Throughout this month and into Sep.
tember there will be people enough In
Saratoga and amusements enough to
make the least disposed to gaiety feel
the inspiring effects. The large hotels
have hops regularly now once or twice
week, and on other evenings, except
Sunday, have concerts by the excellent
orchestra each engages for the season.
The same bands give concerts every
morning at half past ten o'clock on the
piazzas, except when II is too cold.
On Tuesday the band played in the
large drawing.room at the Grand Union
Hotel both morning and evening, as 1t
the sharp air outside. The band at
Congress Spring Park plays every
morning, while the thirsty souls are
drinking the Congress water between
half past seven and nine o'clock On
there are also sacred concerts In this
pretty park.

AS consequence of the growth OF
cottage life at Saratoga, reception days
have been introduced, and one of the
well-known families keeps open house
