 Those Who VIII Re Seen About the
 Great Summer Resort.
 SARATOGA, June 12.-Since my last letter to the COURIER much has been done in Sara toga towards beautifying and adorning it's
 parks, residences and famous hotels. There is hardly stick, lattice or column in this
 pleasant village but what has acquired new
 colors for its coat through the art of the pain
 ter.
 Many New Workers have recently arrived
 and are occupying their cottages on Upper Broadway, and several others of the most noted thoroughfares. Judge Hilton's family
 have opened their cottages on Woodlawn Park for the summer. Mir. Charles A.
 Brown, Troy millionaire, has arrived at the Southgate cottage on North Broadway. Fred Nathans, the well known stock broker of New York, has come with his family to oc- cupy the Hathorn Yesidence on Regent street. Mrs. Mary Hoffman will occupy the Gan ming cottage, near Woodlswn. Millionaire Harry Leach will arrive in few days at his palace on Tnion avenue. Attorney H. M. Ruggles, of New York, will soon take
 possession of his neat residence on North
 Broadway. The palatial building of O. Reed, on Union avenue opposite the Kensington hotel, which has been unoccupied for sever- al seasons past, will be the home of MT. Reed and family during this summer. MT. George Bliss and family have rented the Lester residence on North Broadway for the season. MT. A. A. Low of Brooklyn, N. Y., has rented the InWood cottage opposite Woodland for the season. A number of fine cottages have been built here during the past --S1l -.SoAh rHr,nSr- families of our larger cities. Many of the hotels have already opened in Saratoga, chiefly to accommodate the delegates to nu- merous conventions which hold their annual meetings here during June. During the past week the congregational association has been in session and their meetings were held
 in tbe Methodist church on Washington
 street and were very largely attended. Many
 of the delegates had their headquarters at
 the Continental Hotel, occupying about all
 of the many rooms.
 Congress Park has been put in frst-class condition and ia now looking most beautiful ly. The numerous lawns have 6 velvet-like appearance, SO evenly and closely are they shorn. The mounds are all crested with del tcate Towering plants, many being in full bloom, filling the air with their rich fragrance.
 Very soon Joyce's full brass band will play in the park every morning and afternoon, with popular concerts during several even- ings of each week, including a sacred con- cert on every Sunday evening.
 Much anxiety has been felt for some time by the owners of several of the most popular mineral springs over the fact that mania has been developed by land owners constantly boring on their land for springs, as all the various springs seem to be in the main close- lY connected with each other and depend upon each other for the carbonic acid gas with which they are highly charged, al- though the medicinal properties of each ;oI1r N1h so much boring and punching into the veins through which the water comes that the gas is weakening in power, and some of the most celebrated springs have lost their power of forcing up the water, and in some cases resort to deposit, is quite hurtful to the other springs. It was stated here recently that an injunc- tion had been placed on the owner of the pumping spring, and possibly law suit might grow out of the proceedings. The daily papers of this town are most vigorous ly discussing the subject with hope of set~ ting the matter.
 Among the many springs the Hathorn seems to be quite free from the trouble of 8 shortage of carbonio acid gas. Its pure, ehrystal water is discharged high into the air from its rocky outlet. Thousands will be its daily visitors during the summer months.
 The great rush for Saratoga will not com- mence until after the 26th of June, when all the larger hotels will be open. It is expect ed that quite number of New Haven's we'll known citizens will come here during July and August. Among them are ex-Governor English and wife, Hon. James Gallagher, Dr. R. s. Ives, Theo. Futile. Max Adler and fam fly, the Misses Shoninger, Councilman Son. enburger, Prof. Simeon E. Baldwin, Prof Johnson, T. Platt, Maier Zunder, MT. and Mrs. w. A. Beers, Clerk William Hayes of the post office, Jedidiah Wilcox, Gardner Morse, Deacon Lewis Fitch, who has visited Saratoga regularly and drank the Hathorn water for twenty years, Hon. Charles E. Mitchell and family, who will be located at the United States Hotel; Nathan Griswold, esq, firm of Griswold, Richmond & Clock of Meriden. Mrs. Griswold will spend part of August at the Continental Hotel. Anum- Der of other leading Meriden citizens will visit Saratoga during the season.

Camp, Miss E. R. Camp, I Mrs. F. P. Gilbert and Mrs. Dr. Paul O. | Skiff.
