GAY LIFE At SARATOGA
ONE OF THE REGENT MOST bril-
LIANT SOCIAL EVENTS.

Beautiful Congress Park-Heard Oh a
| Saratoga Springs, Aug. 1.-THE height
of Saratoga season is now fully on. Up
to a week ago plenty of room could be
obtained in the hotels, but now about
all the eligible rooms are full Still
crowds of people come every day and
somehow all seem to be accommodated,
even if it is on the top floor. The
weather is all that could be desired by
the most particular. The entertain
ments are so numerous that everybody
can find enjoyment to their heart S
content. The hops at the leading hotels
are given on a grand scale. Never
has more beauty in person or ele-
gance in attire been witnessed at
these gatherings. It's really an impos-
ing sight to behold the charming pic
ture of beauty and general attractive
ness displayed at these weekly gather
ings. Other entertainments, perhaps
less gorgeous in style and dress but
/ perhaps none the less enjoyable are Of
frequent occurrence and are attended
by large assemblies The races are
largely patronized, and big time is made
by some of the noted horses. One of
the popular methods of killing time at
Saratoga is carriage riding. the broad
avenues and well kept roads extending
in various directions, afford ample OPP
portunity to lovers of this healthful eX-
ercise. An unusual number of stylish
rigs, largely from New York, are seen
in the daily grand pageant. James
English, treasurer of the New Haven
! Electric Light company, and Mrs. Eng
i lish are often seen with their stylish
| trap on the various drives. Mr.. and
! Mrs. English are being well cared for at
| the United States hotel Just now there
| are not as many of our New Haven
| people here as usual at this season Of
! the year. Many were here in the earlier
part of the summer, but | understand
| quite a number more are expected soon.
Probably some are delaying their visit
to Saratoga until about the time of the
floral exhibition which will commence
about the Cd of September and continue
for several days. Preparations are be-
ing made by the committee Of arrange
ments on scale that will make this
fete one of the grandest and most in
spring ever before witnessed in Sara
toga. The parade will represent many
societies and associations as well as
many private individuals, and will be
an entertainment both entertaining and
instructive. In the evenings during
the time allotted grand balls and mu-
sicales will be given at the various

Bar association has accepted an invita-
ton to take part in the grand floral pa
rade. The hotels are giving unusual |
good service this season in Saratoga. I
One of the best here Is situated on |
South Broadway, situated on the high
est point of land in the village, and is
noted for it's excellence in general ar
engagements. strictly sanitary, rooms
well lighted, clean and cheerful, steam f,
heat in each rom for use when re-
CURED It's owner and proprietor, w. |
b. Hustice. is resident of Saratoga; !
therefore the hotel is kept open until |
November. It's patronage is large and
increasing, the CUISINE is all that could
be desired by the most eXacting. OF |
course there are other first class hotels
here, like the United States, Grand I'm
ion Congress Hail. Clarendon, ETC., but
whose terms are considerable higher
than the HeIstis.
The mineral springs are becoming
more and more popular every season
Many people use these waters the year
round, having them sent to them in
caek lots. The curative properties con-
tanned in these spring waters are too
well known by most people to need
lengthy explanation, each spring has
its own peculiar curative properties.
The Hathorn spring is particularly eff
catious in curing rheumatism, liver and
kidney difficulties, and has probably the
largest patronage of any other one
spring here. Their shipping orders are
immense to all parts of the union, not
only in boxes containing a dozen bot
ties, but it is daily shipped in car loads
to their agents in many cities.
