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 
wearers of the sword and gold epaulettes spend their vacations the
