 Saratoga, Aug. l2,-This season has witnessed the arrival of large com pany of New Haven people ana tho coming week will bring other additions. It is a popular resort for the people of the Elm City and nearly all go away respectfully.

MT. and Mrs. Frank Sanford and Elmer Nortbrop. On Monday the New Haven excursion party to remain four days numbered thirty-two.
 On Sunday, Rev. Dr. Vail of Trinity M. D. church of New Haven. preached to a large congregation at the M. b. church in the morning and his sermon was greatly praised. Dr. Wall Is al- ways warmly welcomed on his trips hither.
 Maier Zunder and wife returned home the past week after a pleasant stay at Congress hall. His son Albert expects to arrive at the same hotel this week.
 Dr. I. s. Miller Of Chapel street, who has just made his annual sojourn here. many years ago was associated with another business friend in running a large water cure establishment on the site of the present most busy section of Saratoga. During the time the es- tablishment was conducted, Dr. Miller assisted in treating over 5000 cases. The venture was great success, but in 1860 the infirmary was burned and with the breaking out of the war and the financial gloom overspreading the country. 1t was decided not to rebuild.
 One of the most interesting resorts in all Saratoga is the Congress spring park, beautiful area of fifteen acres very centrally situated and the home of the most celebrated Congress spring. This park in its natural layout, with the high and semi-circular terrace at one side, is very beautiful and large amounts have been expended in further beautifying it. In 1876, when MT. Hotchkiss of Hotchkiss gun fame was president of the company, $150,00O were expended on the park, but the present president, MT. Sheehan, does not look upon the enterprise as much of an inn provement, as the park was very beau- tiful before. Indeed, to many of the old habitues of Saratoga, the former surroundings of Congress spring park were deemed the best. In the park are pretty walks, artistic pavilions, fish ponds, flower borders and deer park, and all around are scattered seats where the visitors can enjoy the fine music of the park band at the frequent concerts. Near the entrance the visi- tor passes through short colonnade to the graceful spring house where the celebrated Congress water is served. The water is forced up its deep cavern through the iron tubing by the power of it's natural carbonic gas, and it rises bubbling and sparkling into two globu- lar crystal receivers, enticing the be- holder to partake freely of the health full beverage. In its graceful move ments it is very fascinating and the visitor is tempted to finger. long in the pavilion. There is no public park in Saratoga, but for an admission of five cents visitor has all the advantages of this beautiful resort, and with all the water he or she cares to drink, and there are from 5000 to 5000 admissions per day. Amongst all the waters at Saratoga, none has been found like the Congress, free from all ingredients that can harm and filled with every element calculated to preserve, or restore the health of human beings. An interest ing spot is the apartment where the water are bottled and shipped all over the world.
