Il beg your pardon. but is this yours?
| If, not allow me to assist you to remount."
The young woman thus called from her
| occupation of pedalIing looked at the lit
tie neckte. bIushed felt of her throat and
murmured. IL don't think it is. but I
have one just like 1t at home, and maybe
that is mine. 1 may have lost it some
where"
That was enough. Quickly the two
mounted and wheeled out TO the lake to-
gether, for this is the accepted way Of
| starting up a Irritation at Saratoga, and
if tho young woman repudiates the neck
| tie the young man begs pardon, steps back
and waits for the next pretty cyclienne to
come along
Where once the sound Of the trumpet
was heard in the land it is now all ST.
lence. The race track is closed and the
| bugler who called the horses TO the post
| has entered upon a cataleptic sleep from
which not all the cries of SaratOga's
guests or the neighing of horses can call
him. There is no more racing at Sarato-
ga. HOrseracing is as far removed from
| Saratoga as from Moody's camp at North
J field, and gambling is no more to be found
than at Chautauqua.
| complete metamorphosis took place
this summer at Saratoga Springs Even
the fiavors of the waters are changed by
it, and the streets have different look.
The reform" which swept over it with
the change of politics has been made per-
feet this year, and Saratoga has closed its
famous Morrissey club house, shut up its
faro banks. forbidden bookmaking and
enforced Sunday laws that are night
mare TO the swift summer man who goes
in for horses and games. Even the ele-
ments have combined to make this more
pronounced, for a short time ago Rileys
famous old road-house, where old Com
modore Vanderbilt bought punch recipe
for $1,000 burned to the ground.
But in place of all this has come a re-
constructed Saratoga, and there are
| thousands who like it better. This is at
tested by the pretty maidens who flock to
IL from the west TO go to school, from the
south to study art, from the east TO study
| Wagner and from the north to get theoi-
| ogy. great summer school has been
started here, and where once you saw
very red-cheeked women with very blonde
hair, and men with very large diamonds
you now see rosy faced girls with bright
| sun-touched tresses, ana men with spec
| tacles.
The pastimes are boating, cycling out to
Lake House, sitting upon the million
aires piazza" where Stewart, Vanderbilt
and Jay Gould used to sit, and rising ear
ly in the morning for spring water II ism t
dull. 1t is different, that is all, and the
girls are more numerous and prettier than
| they were then.
The cottage cOIOnv is vary 10 REQ an
People are taking to cottages more and
more each year. The hotels do not feel the
loss of any one, for people hire cottages
| who would not by any means live in a no
folk in the houses, while their numerous
friends who come to visit" them vet put
up at hotel This, by the way, is a Ia
Vorite way to entertain. Instead of put
ting your guests three in a bed you make
arrangements for them at the hotel and
see them only at dinner, which is often
enough and long enough for any summer
visit
Outside of its summer school of theol-
ogy and art there are interests absorbin z.
to visitors. The rowing regatta of Ma
tlonal Amateur Oarsmen comes off Aug.

men are gathering.
The Daughters of the Revolution held

Federation of Clubs federated here with
much success many members remaining
Tor the summer; and very attractive are

Saratoga used to be the very center of
