Saratoga Springs, August IA, 1904.
 Quite big cat show is now going on in Saratoga, Mrs Hall, at No. A White street, delighting numerous people by exhibiting her fine cat pets every day. These cats are Persians and Angoras, the principal ones being blue, common ly called Maltese and black; but she also has few beautiful white kittens. At the last New York cat show she ex- hibited ten and won eight blue ribbons and two second prizes, besides num- Der of silver cups and medals. Cham pion Dolly Dutton, a black female. has never been beatent at a show, and her mate, Sir Robert, with wonderful or ange eyes, is the three times winner of the Atlantic clubs challenge cup. Osiris, an imported blue, is said to be the finest of his kind in this country. He has only been shown twice, but at these two shows he captured sixteen prizes Tn fact all of Mrs. Halls stock is of the finest lineage, and in the win ter they have magnificent long coats. There areynow several filters of kittens, so she has "a little cat show of her own at her residence. .a-. S
 There is big fun at the race track ev- cry day. The women hardly ever bet more than dollar or two at each race, and seem to be satisfied if they make the days expenses, or as they express it, Come out even" Some of them bet but only on horses having odd numbers, such as three, seven and thirteen. Others shut their eyes and jab the pro- gramme with a pin. then play the horses whose names have been thus stabbed Still others depend on dreams and omens for tips. and put money on an animal of whose pedigree and re- cord they are absolutely ignorant if his jockeys initials happen to coincide with their own, if a rabbits foot which they swing pendulum over the pro, grarnme stops directly above this num- Der. Large numbers attend the races every day, numbering eighteen thou sand or more often, and great is the excitement from start to finish. Saratoga is well patronized this sea- son and much is being done to enter ifain visitors; hops almost every night at one or other of the hotels. Classic music seems to float in the very air day and night. The drive down Union ave- nue out to the lake Is well patronized every afternoon, and many partake of the fine shore fish and game suppers obtained at the lake house. Frequent concerts, vocal and instrumental, are given in Congress Park. The springs are we'll patronized: the refreshing wa- ters seem to be balm for almost every disease. The famous Hathorn spring is located right opposite the Congress Ho-1 tel in fine large pavilion, where clas- sic music by Doring's famous orches- tra is given every morning while the numerous guests sip the crystal waters as they are served direct from the rocky fountain. % .h.E ~e
