are luxuriously shaded with stately
trees. Many seats are well distributed
through the paths; thelarge round pond
is we'll supplied with trout, real speckled
beauties, which sport about continually,
always eager to receive their lunch Of
fine chopped beef which is distributed
to the fish every morning about 8
o'clock. This pond is walled up and
protected by high railing to keep off
intruders etc. Gartlands full military
band from New York discourses CLASH
cal music in the park every morning
and evening, as it has done for the
past several seasons. Carnivals baby
shows, theatricals drive euchre and
whist parties, and recitations are down
on the programme for the entertainment
of guests during the remainder of the
season. The trolley ride to the Springs,
Ballston and Saratoga lake are much
enjoyed every day by multitudes of peo-
pie sail up the lake on the steamer
to White Sulphur Springs is another
very pleasant feature and well patron
lied. The steamer runs many times
during each day. The trolley ride to
the lake is most refreshing through the
woods and over grassy, plains and
farming lands A six mile ride at only
ten cents. The ride to Ballston about
the same distance, is another means of
pleasant and healthful recreation. In
fact, I don't think there is another
place on the face of this terrestrial
sphere where one can enjoy so much
of human nature and be so well taken
care of for so small an expense as at
Saratoga. One gentleman said to me
at the Springs, while slipping the Ha-
thorn water the other morning: Why,
I gain twenty-five pounds in weight
every week I remain. l forgot to in
quire how many weeks he expected to

glasses of the spring water every morn

Often one will hear many quaint say
ings if he mingles in the crowd as is apt |
to be the case in Saratoga. Here is one |
of those incidents. While riding in a |
trolley car recently one lady |
inquired of her friend who had just |
from seashore visit: well, !
how did you enjoy yourself?" Very.
WELL but would have liked it much bet
ter had there not been so many Irish
visitors here The other lady said:
Why, that's just my experience up in
the mountains; and you know l can
see enough of them right at home. every
day. so I did not gain much in society !
hat was really new" The car soon
stopped at the station and out got two
IRISH ladies who had overheard the tour
SITS conversation, and stepping up to
hem said: God afternoon, ladies: we
hope when you die you will go to hell,
or you won't find any Irish there"
Judging by the expression on the tour
sts faces, the rebuke was about as
stunning as though the ladies had lost
good bit at the races. Certainly there
vas considerable characteristic wit dis
,layed by the daughters of Erin as there
vas surely considerable sound judgment
manifested Some think it is not always
rood judgment to tell what's on your
mind on all occasions, but in this case
came right in play for car load of
passengers who were looking for some
hing funny.
