SARATOGA, N. Y, July ls.-I will not
say that Saratoga is a paradise for the
poor, in the strict sense OF the term.
For them there is no earthly one, but !
do say that for the class OF whom their
friends remark confdentally in their
absence, "Poor, you know" who are
obliged to count dollars and turn their
silks, this class need not always avoid
Saratoga. OF what does tho town con-
sist, but a conglomeration OF small
hotels and large boarding houses, whore
il one spends tho dull months OF Juno
and September, or even n half OF each,
good board can be had for $40 per week,
or in July and August only, for from $50
to $l3. or course this is higher than in
small country places, or farm houses,
but then you see what is thrown in
almost free, since OF all places, Saratoga
leads in the way OF cheap amuscments
Looking at the crowds costs nothing.
ANY one can 90 on the front piazEas and
in the rich parlors OF the grand hotels,
while II the silk dress has been properly
turned and Araminta wears pair OF tan
colored Newport tics, admission to the
concerts on the hotel piazzas overlook
ing court yards, or TO the hops, is not
difficult. No ono, however, need sue
for entrance to hotel concerts, unless
wishing to look rich and be mistaken
for guest. In Congress par K there arc
three daily concerts, admission ten
cents, with Communication for the season.
One can take endless pretty walks and
drink free OF two most noted springs
within its limits.
DRINKING AND DRIVING.
IT'S true, one must pay five cents for
a drink ofmineral water, but one need not
drink unless an invalid, while at every
corner some stage orcuriously contrivsd
hack invites the passer-by to take alive or
ten cent drive. These cheap drives arc
not to be despised. Atyour farm house
or country hotel, a special team must be
hired, with corresponding pay, while
here, for an insignificant sum, one can
rattle of in all directions to baths and
springs where drinks are free. The
country is seen and one has exercise and
sunlight. Going to the lake is a long
drive that can be hadI for fifty cents the
round trip. Hilton Park is n free show,
and all the world goes to Mt. McGregor
TO SEQ Gen. Grants cottage and better
vet, feel the fresh breezes that play on
the mountain top, pure as those on the
ocean, since they come from the White
Mountains, ninety miles off and plainly
visible. Tho view at the summit is one
OF the grandest imaginable, and people
ask why the ill located and dismal cot.
tage, lust cut off from all this beauty,
was selected rather than apartments
which could have been secluded, while
hathed in sunshine and looking forth on
magnificent scenery. But all this
though near at hand, is not Saratoga and
to Saratoga let us return.
YOUTH VERSUS AGE.
The general idea OF Saratoga is that o.
a place given up to youth and vanity
This | fatty contradict and assert that
for one young person three or four ell
DERBY are found and that gravity quite
outweighs levity. True, there are spe
cial extravagancies in dress and hirta
tons, but such things arc like points o
effect in picture: chiefly noticeable
because most conspicuous, but OF small
compass when contrasted with sub
ducd expanse OF hue. Persons arc apt
to forget that Saratoga is great vantage
ground OF tho clergy; they spread them
selves everywhere; professional anC
scientific men congregate here; they
bring their wives, their sisters, theil
cousins and their aunts, and groups o
arandmothers renew their youth in dis
Cussions OF baby foods and Aanpels witt
rs much animation as their hushandI
talk theology, politics or learning. Par
don me, too, il digress one moment
led astray by q topic that in this warn
weather becomes oisupreme Importance
1t is that OF proper nourishment for lit
tie ones, and l find that not only in New
York, but throughout the country a
large, mothers are realizing more ant
more, the superiority Of CarnriCk's FooC
for infants. Its precedence is not sur
prising, since its approaches moro nearl,

any other prepared food, and is almos
identical with the formula recommended
by the committee Of the American Med
ical Association on infant feeding. Thi
food is, moreover, the only one that wi
, satisfactorily nourish o child withou
the addition OF cows milk, very Grea
advantage.
, GENERAL DEDUCTIONS.
I Since there ara many moderate nrice
hotels and people Of serious bent, tn
Q deduction would follow that an elaborat
