While some are attracted to Saratoga by the waters and others by the air, I found both of them equally beneficial.

As far as its social life is concerned, there are, as in all summer resorts, two very different descriptions of guests.

One class are devotees of fashion, who go there to gratify the "lust of the eye, and the pride of life." They drive by day and dance by night; but some devotees of pleasure have yielded too much to the ensnarements of the gaming table and the race course.

There is another and a more numerous class made up of quiet business men and their families, clergymen, college professors and persons in impaired health, who go for recreation or recuperation.

From this latter class, and in some measure indeed from the former also, the churches of the town attract very large congregations.
