SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 81, 1890.-The
first inquiry of mine host on arriving at
the hotel was, .'Well, how is everything
this seasona' ~Oh, full, full; I've been
full the past three weeks'-referring, of
course, to his large number of guests at
the Clarendon-and the same thing can be
said of a number of the leading hotels
here. am informed that since the first
of August SO large number of visitors
was never before seen in any one month at
Saratoga, and still they come. At one of
the larger hotels last evening at 8 o'clock
over seventy persons were standing in the
dining room eagerly waiting chance for
the tables to be vacated.
The weather is quite cool, the air invig-

Many are the testimonials that are contin-
ually being received by Mr.. Hathorn from
it's patrons, who have received unmistak-
able benefit from it's constant use.
Among the many pleasant events of
recent date was the grand ball given in the
spacious dining room of the Grand Union
hotel last Saturday evening. At o'clock
the proceedings were formerly opened in
the presentation by District Attorney T..
hotel to Manager Adams, an elegant Jur-
gensen gold watch with cable chain and
circular locket set with solitaire diamond.
The occurrence was made more. interest
ing by the fact of the present being an
entire surprise to the recipient. The
room was thronged with the beautiful and
gay "arrayed in purple and fine linen, !" the
ball began to roll at $50 o'clock under the
direction of Napier Lothian, the leader of
the Grand Union orchestra, and continued
until a late hour.
Saturday evening the guests of the Wa
verify hotel presented through DIR. Barton
| silver necklace Of daisies to Miss Hettie
Bradley of New Haven in acknowledge
ment of her kind and generous contribu-
tions to their pleasure. One Of the most
delightful hops of the season occurred at
the Clarendon hotel Wednesday evening.
The spacious parlor where the festivities
took place was thronged by an unusual Sc
lect and fashionable company. Many of
the young ladies were attired in extremely
handsome gowns, and there was a profu-
sion of diamonds displayed. Dancing was
enjoyed until late hour to the excellent
music of Professor Keenan's orchestra of
| the Clarendon. Several entertainments
will be given at this popular hotel during
the uext few weeks.
The races are in full blast and are pat
ronized by large crowds every day. The
amount of money that passes hands on the
results is said to be enormous. About the
way it averages financially is "to-day it is
and tomorrow it is not" They who risk
large say, "Now you see it, and now you
don't" The greatest trouble is the win
ming horse often comes in behind which
is easily accounted for. The race grounds,
with all its stables and fixtures, has re-
Gently been sold to a syndicate, the trans
fer to be made about October /, and it is
proposed next season to commence the
races about the list of September instead
of August, as heretofore, which will great
ly lengthen out the Saratoga season.
The annual convention of the American
Bar association convened here to-day, for
the thirteenth time since it's organization.
1t now numbers over 1000 members,
representing thirty-nine states and two
territories, which includes not only the
!. ablest practitioners in the profession, but
the most distinguished jurists on the
bench. Hon. Henry Hitchcock of Mis-
souri,, president of the association, was
present and presided. President Hitch
cock reviewed at considerable length the
most noted changes in statute law in
points of general interest enacted in
the several states and by congress during
the past year and pointed out many of the
i'll judged and hastily drawn laws. Some
of them even ridicuously, that had been
enacted in some of the states, he earnestly
appealed to the association to go forward
for the advancement of justice and uni
formity in practice, and thus sustain the
honor of the profession as its intent in or
, ganization. After the address reports OF
| secretary and treasurer, the executive OF
citation was elected, one from each state
represented.
) The second days session opened with the
! annual address delivered by Hon. James
G. Carter of New York 1t was an elabo
rate and scholarly address, embracing
much that was of Importance to the mem
bers of the legal profession, and held the
attention of the crowded house for over ar
hour. After the address reports of stand
. ing committees were received, and the
meeting adjourned until evening. PROBES
sor Simeon E. Baldwin was present and il
prominently connected with the associa
ton. The annual dinner occurs at tn,
Grand Union at eight o'clock Friday even

In rambling around Saratoga during the
. rushing season one meets with much tina
is interesting and often times very ludi
crous. An incident peculiarly funny a
well as quite suggestive occurred at one o
the leading hotels here few days ago. 4

that he was possessed of more than an or
