THE DELIGHTS OF SARATOGA.
Which Are Now Being Enjoyed by
 Many New Haven People.


 Saratoga Springs, Aug. 17.-How of ten does one hear it said while summer ing in Saratoga, ''Well, have tried the mountains, the lakes, sea-shore and country resorts but in them all nev- CT yet have found place furnishing so much real enjoyment, comfort and so great a variety of sights and scenes as is experienced at Saratoga" Nowhere on earth can so much health and recre- atlon be obtained, and all at so com paratively small cost It is really quite consoling to the curious to sit on the veranda of any one of the Broad- way hotels for an hour or so any af
 ternoon and see the great variety rep resented in the crowds of passers-by; of nationalities; styles of dress; express sions of countenancess shapes forms and sizes, and general makeup of individu- als; its as entertaining as first-class circus; while on the other hand there is the most exquisite beauty and contrast of forms clothed in purple and fine lin- en. It's a peep into the magnificent parlors and reception rooms of the larger hotels of Sartoga almost any evening, or gain admission to their Wednesday or Saturday night hops in the spacious hotel ball-rooms, where the millonaires and ''millionairesses" themselves preside. All these things will soon pass away, and the great mass of people will have returned to their homes and resume their usual voca- tlons. The Saratoga season is now at it's meridian. The hotels are quite well filled with guests, Some of them are obliged to room in nearby cottages. The various springs, parks, drives, etc., are very largely patron ized daily. The season has thus far proved one of the best for years past. The races are attracting large crowds daily and much money passes hands on the results. Some of the best track horses in the country are in the run ming matches, but sometimes the sast- est don't come in ahead, as many mex perienced betters on the races have sor- rowfully found out.
 Gambling in all It's magnitude of for mer times seems to have been resumed this season. The patronage of the leading clubhouse here Is very large, and thousands of dollars passes nightly from the fingers of the unlucky ones to the more fortunate denizens of the faro bank and roulette tables but then you know all this is only for the amusement of the wicked ones. The real good peo- pie only go to the races-simply as look s-on, of course-and other such harm- less places drink Hathorn water and retire early. I tell you it's real nice to be so very good in a big place like Sar- atoga. Many conventions and organi- zrtions are to meet here the next two CT thiee weeks: none of more inpor- tance than that of the American Bar association, which meets at Convention Hall August F, IS and 19, and much business will be transacted of vital inn portance to the legal fraternity A number of lawyers from New Haven will be present Prof. Simeon F. Bald win is one of the officers of the associ- ation and chairman of the section If le- gal education The various springs are benG largely patronzed daily The fathorn spring seems to be the popular resort every morning and evening. The water is deliciously clear, sparkling and invigorating, and then the fine concerts by Doring's celebrated orchestra and military band every morning from to 9 and evening from to 10 is highly ap- precated by the throngs of visitors at the Hathorn spring pavilion. Many New Haven people are here at the vari- ous hotels. We noticed among them P. Eaugh, D. S. Gamble, Prof. T. s. Woolsey, H. M. Woolsey, B. Orr and wife and daughter Miss F. R. shafter Miss R. N. Potter, Mrs. Sherwood s. Thompson and her son Paul having recently been domiciled at Porter's fine cottage at the Adirondacks, have re- turned and will soon visit Saratoga as is Mrs. Thompson's custom every sea- son, staying al Congress Hall. No lady is much better known among the musi- cally inclined guests of Saratoga than Mrs. Thompson, as on many occasions her charming voice has been heard in song each season while visiting here. Among the arrivals soon expected is the renowned dude. Berry Wall. AL though somewhat of back number, he still is quite able to get there in his usual style of fancy and fiction. B.
