THE SUMMER INNS
The abundance and excellence OF hotel accommoda-
tiOns Saratoga well known. As one Of the Leading
landlords remarked, There is enormous amount OF
money risked in these establishments, which have only
a few weeks to make money in.', The new United
States Hotel, the largest Summer hotel In the country
involves an outlay OF 100000 A Stewart Is not
inclined to stop with the great sums ne mas DeIore
put into the Grand Union. but has spent over
100000 since last season improving it, aud for the
Fail has determined upon great extension. Wlhin
toga property and this place will get the benefit of ex
pendure which would probably have been Ipcas mas n m
labor there and the exactions OF the workingmens or

This church property Mr.. Stewart has repeatedly at
tempted to buy. but the price has been raised to
orbiant figure by the vestry; The additions decided

still further increase will be made Gil there s room for

extensions for next season will accommodate over 800
more guests. The proposed additions will con-
tain many single rooms with bathroom
attached to each: plan which will prove
very acceptable. Mr.. Bresln says that the
at Union is to be active as more rooms
are than taken at this time last year. A.
