HIRAM GREEN AT SARATOGA.
THE HOTELS--FASHIONS--SPRING WATER--AND CLUB HOUSE. The season when everybody who can sport a 3 story trunk full of store close, and a fine assortment of Californy diamonds, and rush to a waterin' place, has got heer. The venerable head of a family pegs away at biziness all winter, and when summer comes his wife and dorters pile off to Niagary, Longbranch, Saratogy, or somewhere else, where they make the Govenor's calf skin wallet cry for quarter, as they rag out in their most celubrious manner. I'm stoppin' heer at Saratogy, baskin', as it were, in the melliflous sunshine of earth's fairest flowers. That the reeders of PUNCHINELLO may understand how the season is openin' heer, let an old Stateman, who has served his country for 4 years as Gustise of the Peece, consine his thoughts and observashuns to paper. The season is openin' rather encouragin'. The only openin' I know of that can beat it, was openin' clams at a clam-bake down at Coney Iland. With Hotel proprieters heer it is a good deal like eatin' clams. When a person has lickt out the meet of a clam he throws the shell away. |
