SOLDIERS SUMMERING
Where National Guard Officers Will Recuperate
Saratoga Gets a Few, but "Old Coney" Receives a Large Share of
Patronage-Where the Lovers of Quietude and Rest Will Go-Those Who Have Gone
to the Old World.
The officers of the National Guard are just now actively engaged packing up
their valises, and in other ways preparing for their annual "lay
off." Some indeed have already gone to the mountains and rivers with gun
and rod, intending, no doubt, to bring home trophies of their "war on
birds, beasts and fishes," and not a few have crossed the ocean to see the
wonders of the Old World. Quite a number intend going no further than "Old
Coney," believing that there is pleasure and enjoyment enough to be found
there for any reasonable man. To those at home who like to know where the
