WHO IS HERE? (Personal.)

I note the following habitués of Saratoga here to-day:
Senator Robertson, who stood boldly for the Union in the
dark days when his State went over to Davis and secession; Prof.
Chandler, who has analysed many of the springs here; George W.
McCullum of the 5th Avenue Hotel, who has just founded a
college at Mount Vernon, his native town in New Hampshire,
endowing it with $50,000; Mr. E. A. Hammond the 5th Avenue
millionaire, whose beautiful park equipage is the admiration of
Saratoga, and Sidney W. Cooper, the young New York
barrister,—fresh from the laurels of a college poem at Williams.

Hon. William Wall of 5th Avenue, and Charles Wall of Park
Avenue, are here, also General Stahl, who closed in with the
cavalry at Gettysburg, and C. W. Durant, Peter Moller, Col. J.
A. Bridgeland, the friend of Gov. Morton; F. S. Davis, President

N. H. Decker of 5th Avenue, the genial Judge John Fitch, and
these kings of the turf: Hunter, Travers, Sanford, Morris,
Cameron, Dennison, McDaniels, Wheatley, McGrath, and
Belmont. Here too is Lord Willoughby with his silver beard
and benevolent face, who has a beautiful residence on Broadway,
