SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 4.-The ex-
treme hot wave which has been visiting
most parts of this country during the
past week paid it's compliments to Sara
toga and for a few days kept most folks
clad in light apparel for its reception, but
it has at last departed and everybody is
happy and enjoying themselves. August
is the most Important month at the Spa.
Some forty trains arrive and depart every
day, all heavily ''passengered." It seems
wonderful where 80 many newcomers find
retreat, but they rush to the embrace of
the hundreds of hotels and boarding
houses, which are always ready to take
them in.
The races have commenced. Some sixty
horses are now being busily worked to
win and great success seems to crown their
efforts daily in many cases.
Numerous conventions take place as
their dates arrive. August 20 the
American Social Science association
will meet. Preparations are being
| made by the Sar atoga Jefersonian club to
give Grover Clev slsnd rousing reception
between the Goth and 25th inst. The oc-
easion will be made most conspicuous by a
mass meeting and be nner raising. At
the same time will occur the regular morn
ing prayer meetings in the Methodist
church on Washington street. Every day
at 10 O'Clock, it is said, Postmaster Gen
/ Tohn mill r,roaidA in
one or two about this date. Let our re-
publican brethren take due notice thereof
| and govern themselves accordingly.
Some of the finest teams ever seen ir
Saratoga are here this season. Miss Woo
of New York has just received her new
trap. It is low canopy phaeton will
finely designed rumble realistically fin
ished. Miss Wood drives pair of vel
matched horses. Mr.. J. D. Fletcher o
New York also drives a fine span of bay
attached to a victoria or a mail phaeton
In fact there is such a surplu
of fine equipages here this seaso
teams are glad they did so. They seer
better contented to sit on the piazzss c
. their hotels and see others drive up an
down Broadway, and as invitations frol
their friends to ride are quite plentift
this season, many are they who take &C
vantage of the kindness thus expressed.
The regular weekly hops at the Clare1
: don, Grand Union, States and other LEAD
ing hotels are in full play and are enjoye
to great extent by the idolized an
:. "diamondized" of the guests. The ga
den party which has been regular at Il
j Grand Union for years past will be di
: pensed with this season and in its pla
an open-air play will be given, entitle

trimming on each costing $500 to $1,0C
