Saratoga Springs, July 6,-Engage-
ments for accommodations at the va
rious hotels and boarding houses are
becoming more numerous every day.
Large delegations of people from vari-
Gus parts of the country are continu-
ally arriving, and the prospects are
that Saratoga will soon have its full
quota of 10000 visitors. Cottage life is
unusually popular this season. Nearly
all the cottages are now occupied, or
Will be In @ week or two.
Bicycling win be a popular feature
OF locomotlon. Already hundreds of
cyclers are seen every day on Broad
way and the boulevard leading to Sar-
atoga Lake. Among then, are many
very. expert lady riders. The effect CT
this bicycle craze will be very disas-
trous to liverymen, to those who here
tofore have depended on renting teams
to increase their stock of shekels, and
good rigs can be hired at very reasona-
BILE figures this season.
Convention hall has been in great
demand Of late. The democratic state
convention, the American Railway
Master Mechanics association meet
ing, the New York state bicycle organ
ization and the Veteran Thirtieth Reg
mental association have all held their
meetings, and there are still many
more conventions to follow. Conveh-
ton hall, with q seating capacity OF
some 5000, was profusely decorated
with bunting, etc, for the democratic
assembly These decorations will be
left for the promenade concert, ETC.,
which occurs tonight for the benefit of
the Saratoga hospital, and which will
be very brilliant affair.
Many are the daily excursions to Sar-
atoga Lake, Lake George, Mount Nc
Gregor, Lake Champlain, the Adiron-
dacks and many other points of inter-
est hereabouts
During July and August number
towns are contemplating spending
their vacation here. The Clarendon
hotel seems to be the favorite resort
selected by many of them on account
of it's eligible location, its perfect SAN
itary condition and the real home COM
forts that are enjoyed there. This is
the only hotel in Saratoga that has a
mineral spring on it's premises. 1t Is
the well known Washington Spring, !"
and this water is the iron tonic of Sar-
atoga and very beneficial in treating
rheumatism, kidney trouble and gen.
eral debility. The water is free to the
guests of the hotel.
The various mineral springs which
make Saratoga so popular are all in
the best of running order. One of the
most popular springs noted for the
past century for its great beneficial re-
suits as a cathartic and for general
bracing up of the system, Is the Hath
orn, and probably it receives the larg-
est patronage. 1t is very interesting to
see the rapidity with which the water
is forced directly from the spring into
bottles by a new and much improved
method. The water is rally shipped to
all parts of the country.
Daily instrumental concerts and
evening hops at the principal hotels
will be among the enjoyable features
of the season. Several leading bands
