show a large accession to the utuisns
tffiv'small ntiinber of guests who thus
fir have profited by the lavish hospi
talities offered at the rate of from $4
to $7 a day by tlie hotel proprietors.
This, however, has not been the ease.
It is true that the Friday night and
Saturdiy morniug trains brought
from X ew York a rather full delega-
lion of the sporting fraternity—gen*

free of speech, all apparently dressed
by the same tailor, all wearing huge
diamond pins, and all devoted to

pleasant and livelv for those young
b oods who are fond of fighting the
tiger in good company. There was
no heavy play at Morrissey’s on Sat-
unlay night. Some Western men
are expected next week who bet
very heavily here last season, and
likewise during the past winter in
New York. Possibly tilings at thu
club house may move more briskly
when they arrive.
If you are not fond of music, donj
come to Saratoga. Music is served
up fresh twice, and sometimes three
times a day at all the principal ho
tels. There is no escape from it at

London, July 28.—The Mincing
Lane markets, with fe v exceptions,
continue dull. There has been a
j good inquiry for floating cargoes of
roe, and business has been large at
an advance of about 3 pence per hun
dred weight. In saltpetre, prices were
favorable to sellers. The demand for
sugar has fallen off, wliiie supplies
have been extensive; consequently,
there has been a decline of fully 6
pence per cwt. The letined market
has been quiet for good and fine col
