Saratoga Springs, June 1.-The revi-
val of business at Saratoga Springs has
begun in good earnest in this wise. The
hotels and boarding houses are all re-
ceiving general brushing up, New
carpets, draperies and furniture are be-
ing literally supplied to many. Plumb
ers are looking out for the sanitary
condition of things, and painters and
decorators are rubbing and brushing
with all their might and MAN. By the
18th of June the hotels will all be open,
and everything in readiness for the re-
ception of guests. The various mineral
springs were never in better condltloa
than at the present time and give great
promise of relief and strength to the
debilitated who patronize them during
the season.
A number of noticeable improvements
have been made in some of the springs,
especially in the matter of bottling the
waters. The old method of filling the
bottles with natural carbonic acid gas
collected from the spring through
stand pipe allowed of more or less air
passing into the bottle, which was d
great detriment to the life and keeping
qualities of the water. The FAMOUS
Hawthorn Spring water is being bottled
by a newly invented machine, which
positively excludes all air, and retains
all the natural carbonic acid gas in the
bottles for an indefinite period OF time.
Visitors at the Hawthorn Springs this
season will be shown the working OF
this wonderful machine as the water is
being drawn directly from the spring
in the solid rocks into the bottles under
a pressure of thirty pounds. Thus the
operator is enabled to fill $50 dozen
quart bottles per day, so quickly is the
machine manipulated.
