This seasOn-Some OF tho Beautiful
Drives.
July 9.-The weather here Is beautiful.
Summer visitors from various sections OF
the country begin to arrive in goodly Dum-
bers. Most of the hotels have been thorough
" renovated and are now open. The United
States Hotel has been very much over
hauled-new furniture, new carpets, new
fixtures generally, to the extent of several
Thousand dollars, have been added. It's
beautiful inclosed park, with its well kept
lawns and Towering mounds, has been most
carefully attended to, and now presents an
attraction most tempting to the guests OF
this hotel, who like to enjoy quiet rest
under its broad-topped trees and receive the
benefit of the cooling breeze which Is usually
to be felt in this park. Most all the cot
tagss connected with this hotel and in the
park are already engaged for the season.
The Grand Union, Congress Hall, WINDSOR,
Kensipgton, Continental and other OF the
larger hotels have many engagements for
July and August on their books. The
pleasant inn at the head of Saratoga Lake
has been arrayed in It's summer costume and
under the management of Messrs. Thomas &
Jones will retain it's former popularity aud
will be largely patronized by Saratoga guests
during tho season. Especially noted Is this
resort for it's elegant fish and game dinners.
Several steam yachts are continually plying
up and down the beautiful lake for the con-
venience of those who enjoy pleasant sail.
II 10 considered quite an essential figure IN
Saratoga's programme to take drive every
afternoon down Union avenue and the bou-
levard, a several miles course leading directly
to this popular lake house, or as 1t has
heretofore been more Familiarity known as
"Uncle Moons on the Lake." The recent
class day was quite brilliant affair at Sara
toga. The graduates of the high school of
80 held their exercises in the spacious audi
forum of the High school building. The af-
fair was great success and most highly en-
joyed by all who attended. The president of
the class, W. Il. Root, made the introductory
address, which abounded in bright sayings
and good suggestions. Miss Lizzie +. Delay,
the class poet, did nobly; Miss Ellen Ames,
rt66 Class esssyist, rsHd bright and witty
paper; Corliss- sheldon, the lawyer and
solicitor of the class, read the last will and
testament of the class of 80, bequeathing
sundry old worn out traps and trinkets,
books, etc., to their successors, the class OF
100. II was really curious document.
After the exercises were concluded IN
the auditorium the class repaired to
tree in front of the building, and went
through the ceremony of planting the
"Dutchman's Pipe" vine. The commence
ment and alumni exercises were held in the
evening in the town hall and Teffts House
respectively. The board of education held a

Among the various entertainments here

be thronged with visitors every day, Sundays
l included. The refreshing Geyser, Kissingen

rived from various parts of the country and

"let" to the careful driver" who wishes t.
