WOTES OF PREPARATION YOR THX COMING CARNIVAL OF FASHION. ‘This long-established and favorite resort of fashion is being put under a complete siate of renovation for the coming season. The Princ: Imperial of France has been invfed and is expected about the middle of the season. Among the improvements may be mentioned the censtruction of a new and beautiful Opera House by the Messrs. Lelands, who havg aiso made a very exten- sive enlargement of the hotel, the Union. The other hotels, including Congress Hotel, under Messrs. Hathorn & Macomber; the United’States, under Marvin, Ford & Co. ; the Clarendon, under the manag*ment of Mr. White; the American, under Richard McMichael; the Marvin House, the Continental, the Cr.ssent, Columbian Hall, ‘Washington Hall and others of less note, are all sound- ing busy notos of preparation for the approaching season of fashion, "flirtation, frivolity, fanfaronade aud extrava- ganoe that will soon make its appearance at Saratoga. THE WATERS AND TUKIR VIRTUES—A SPRING WIDOW WITH A MILLION. Tho Springs are the great sanitary attraction of Sara- toga, and we find that they have been put in guper-ex- celiont condition for the coming carnival of fashion. There are about forty different mineral springs here ‘within a circum‘erence of five miles, and at least twenty possess better medicinal qualities than those of any of the minoral springs tn Europe, The great bottling water of Saratoga is that procured from Congress Spring, fa- mous all over the world for its peculiar virtues, and bet- (er known in some latitudes than the catechiams of tho inhabitants. Congress Spring has been rétubed this s¢n- eon, aud the mode of procuring the water improved in othor respects, rendering it even moro pure, palatablo and bencicial as a medicinal liquid than heretofore. ‘This epring was the exclusive property of Messrs, Clark & White, both of whom are deceased, and is now ownd by the widow of the last named. The property is valued nt one million of dollara, and is the source of a splendid and conti:m@al income to the estimable proprietress. Mr. Walker R, Johnson suporintends the immense businers of this literally great watercure establishment, in which may elso be included the very popular waters of Colum- dian, Hamilton and High Rock Springs—the three latter possessing tonic properties. Among the most prominent of the other bottling springs is the Empire, which has been but recently introduced to the publig and is fast growing in popular favor., The Empire is owned by'a company, with a capital of three hundred thousand dol- Jars, and is under the management of Mr. D. A. Knowl- ton. Next in order for its reputation with the public comes the Saratoga or ‘“Star’’ Spring, owned by a com- pany known as the Star Company of Saratoga The above embraces all the springs whoso waters are bottled ‘and constitute an article of commerce. These waters are all cathartic, and highly prized for their medicinal qualities, Among the most noted of the springs whose waters are celebrated as tonic, are the Columbian, the Washington, the Pavilion, the Hamilton, High Rock and tho Excelsior (one of the “Ten Springs"), Neither of these waters is bot- tled extensively; but when their value becomes better known to invalids and persons requiriig waters will rank as high as any of the other waters of these nowned springs. The Columbian is expecially valuable for ite invigorating influences on emaciated systems; ‘and.s0 powerful are its effects that it has to be used with caution by those enjoying naturally good health and vig- 2Foug constitutions, | ‘WHAT TURSK SPRING!
