NESS BOOMING.


Some of the New Haveners Who Are There
The Hotels, Drivee, Springs, Hops, Con-
certs, Etc.
Saratoga Springs, N. Y, July "a, 1895
The registers at the various hotels
here indicate that the most desirable
rooms are fast being taken. The week
ly hops are very largely patronizei.
The season practically opened with the
first days racing and will be at it's
height for the next six weeks.
Arrangements are about completed
for a grand theatrical entertainment
to be given on the park of the Grand
Union hotel in the early part of August,
in which the leading talent of the stage
will take part, the whole to conclude
with a hop for the children in the after
noon and one for the adults in the even
ing. invitation cards for this prominent
affair are fast being secured.
Most enjoyable hops occur weekly at
the Clarendon hotel and are attended
by large numbers of society leaders.
Congress park Is looking lovely with
it's well kept lawns, Towering mounds
and shaded walks, and Is patronized
daily by large numbers, who greatly
enjoy the concerts given by Gartland's
celebrated orchestra, while many par
take Of the popular Congress Spring
waters.
Among the many interesting person
ages to be seen daily on the promenades
is the Rev. L. Fl. Angler of Boston, who
is eighty-six years of age, hale and
hearty, and is spending his sixtieth sea-
son at Saratoga. He is firm believer
of the efficacy of the health-giving quail
tiles of Saratoga's spring waters.
Some of the resident hotel men and
boarding house keepers are finding fault
with the reform movement in closing
the various gambling houses and the
dispensing with pool selling at the races,
as they miss many familiar faces this
season among the gambling fraternity,
Still it is quite noticeable that many
are the new corners who are better con-
tented with the milder and less harmful
line Of amusements which now are 10
be enjoyed to a greater extent than
heretofore here. On this account is it
noticeable that the hops at the hotels
are attended by a larger percentage of
men than at any previous season. OF
course the ladies in this respect favor
reform every time.
Saratoga is striving hard to secure
the next republican national conven-
ton, and leading republicans here
abouts are quite unanimous in their
opinion that there is no other location
so eligible as this reformed village for
them to conclave in.
The electric railroad are reaping big
harvest this season from their large
patronage to and from Saratoga Lake.
1t is a most celebrating ride of several
miles. The SAN on the lake on the
steamers to White Sulphur Springs is
also greatly enjoyed by large numbers
every day.
The o'clock drives every afternoon
are great features here. Many are the
gay equipages. Among them. one OF
the finest, that of Mr.. James English
Of the New Haven Electric company,
is often noticed in the grand pageant
on the boulevard headed for the lake.
Among the rominent New Haven
guests at the Clarendon hotel we no
ticed Governor Bowers and family and
Augustus Fl. Kimberly and family
Quite a number from New Haven are
arranging to go to this popular hotel
in August.
