the most fashionable watering-place in America, in the state of New York, 38 miles N. of Albany. It is only celebrated for its mineral waters, as the scenery in the neighbourhood has not many attractions; but it is resorted to by multitudes of all classes for the sake of health or pleasure. There are numerous large and splendid hotels here; as well as churches, academies, &c. The number who visited the place in the summer of 1853 is estimated at 30,000. Near this, in 1777, the British troops under Burgoyne surrendered to General Gates. Pop. 4650.
