DULNESS OF THE SEASON-——HIS EXCELLENCY'S FLYING VISIT—INFLUENCE OF A UNIFORM ON THE FEMALE HEART—GUESTS AT THE HO- TELS, West Point, July 26, 1875, ‘The season can scarcely ve said to have opened yet in the fasuionable point of view. There have been many prospecting parties, who run up from New York for the day, but very few permanent guests, The broad piazzas Of VCozzens’ are as silent ag the granite walls of the Hudson on which they re-t; tne Cascade is not yet opea for the season, and the West Point Hotel bas more officers of the post than the mucn wished-for Manhattanites as guests. The season at West Point, beginning im the early part of next mouth, lasts sometimes until the middle of October, certaimly the best time of the year to enjoy the magnificent scenery that surrounds the national Acatemy. The in- dications for this season are by no means tavor-” able, and there will be, likely, serious disappoint. ment incurred by the hotel keepers, The natural beauties of the place shoud bea suMcient at- traction at all times to those ennuied by the Spa and the sea; for in no part of this State do moun- tains clothe themselves with more fascinating charms than tn the Highlands of the Hudson. Ashort visit by His Excellency created a stir forthe moment among the officers and cadets. He arrived on Saturday evening, accompanied by Colonel Fred Grant and wife, and Jesse R. Grant. The youngest prince was left at home, by the sad sea waves, in charge of his nurse.

His Exccliency took a drive in the afternoon, accompanied by Colonel Fred and lady, the younger scion of the house preferring to remain indoors at the hotel, where a select circle of milt- tary admirers endeavored to make themsecives — agreeable. At the evening parade, seven o'clock, the pres- | ence of His Nxcellency and family caused quite & flutter in the breasts of the youtihrul cadets, sone | of Whom may haye been inspired by ieelings of wild ambition to emulate the great soldier who led our armies to victory, and his galiant son, whose shoulders have beem lenored With tue col- onel’s tusighta atier such # short but brilitant term of service.

The tratn started at half-past nine, and never baited till at Palmyrait was dis- covered the sleeping car bad two hot boxes, To cool them with generous applicacions of water and packing was the work of but a few moments, and once more we flew over the level stretch of country between this place and Buflalo, Mr. G, H.
