N. Y. Truth, February l3th.
One interesting result OF the recent

which formed valuable part Of the

TO refurnish the old rookery and run it
in first-class style as in days of old. The
Park Avenue and the Grand Union at
Saratoga are retained in the interest of
the heirs; and tho former has already
been placed under the management of
MIR. George 3. Adams, one OF the best
