The Season i'm Full Blags-Gr&H0 Rugh
 10 This Great Regert-Hotels Full
 The Great Variety Of Attract1Ons-
 Interesting Notes of Affairs There.
 SARATOGA, Aug. IA big boom in Sara toga has occurred during the past week in
 the great rush of visitors. Most of the lead-
 ing hotels are about full of guests, and every
 thing is as lively as it is possible to make it.
 With amusements, such as vocal and instru-
 mental concerts, balls, driving on the boule-
 yard, sailing on the lake, drinking the min-
 eral waters, horse racing and with devotional
 services, such as the daily prayer meetings,
 there is something for everybody; not one is
 in any way neglected. If it be religion,
 politics, gambling, horse racing, admiring pretty women. feasting the eyes on big dia-
 monds, coming in contact with men of great wealth or great education or social of polit- ical standing in this country, it is all hear
 and yours to enjoy as your conscience may dictate.
 Among the noted arrivals here recently are
 Jay Gould and his family, composed of Miss Helen M. Gould, Miss! Anna Gould, Edwin Gould, Howard Gould and Miss Nortkrof, and they are nicely fixed in the cottages con- nected with the United States Hotel. They will remain several weeks. The hops st the United States, Grand Union and other large hotels are patronized (solely by invitation as regards outsiders) by large and fashionable gatherings. The great wealth of dress and fnery is most reeklessly displayed at each of these parties.
 The successor to Barry Wall, the once king of dudes, has at last been found in the person of Mir. Gwynne, of Cohoes. He made his debut in Saratoga recently in the following costume: His coat was of a fine white mate- -.- <.E alr1f h trowsers of white flannel, shoes of patent
 leather with light oolored alligator tops. In his glossy shirt front was row of diamond studs, whose sparkling briiliancy daEzled the vision of the grand stand and caused even the racing steeds to blink as they passed. His tie was startling in combination and unique in effect His cranium was overtop- ped with g slick pearl-colored tile. In fact his whole makeup was as dashin9 as the Falls of Niagara, and sEeVen King Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.o
 Saratoga is being made more lively just now by the hundreds who are aockiDg there and who have become thoroughly disgusted
 with the dull monotony of mountainous life, or the uncomfortable experiences they have Henjoyed" the past few weeks among the same flies and tormenting mosquitoes of their sea shore rendezvous. They have come to stay, at least week or two, until they can recover BOmeW1AL 1EOH tue edectS of the tortures they have been thus made to bear while trying to realize what nice thing 1t is to rusticate on ''Pisgah's Heights" or wander among the s'shells of the sand" un- der the most torturing circumstances. The layout for the entertainment of the
 multitude of visitors at Saratoga during the next three or four weeks is quite elaborate. Many are the hops, concerts, boat races, conventions, art exhibitions, etc., now in contemplation.
 The races attract thousands every day and the grand stand is most always well filled with spectators, and much is the money that exchanges hands at every race. Even the fair sex are not slow in backing up their fa- vorites in good round sums. Of course they
 lose occasionally; that's expected, you know. Such demand for the various mineral waters is there this season, especially the Hathorn, that one has to go quite early in
 the morning to the springs to get his ''regu- lar" before breakfast.
 The Continental Hotel is enjoying an un-
 usual large patronage this season. Among their guests are quite number of hand some young ladies. Some of them are quite we'll known in fashionable circles. In fact there is said to be no summer resort in America that can compete with Saratoga in style, wealth and beauty.
