The grand rush at Saratoga is now
on. Most of the hotels are well filled
with guests, the numerous boarding
houses are receiving very liberal
share of patronage. AS one who IS
right in it says: 1.-THE guests of Sara
toga cannot pine away the hours gloom
lily these days unless they wish to-.
There is surely enough going ON to sat-
isfy the most eXacting.
Every evening in the week there is
hop at one of the hotels. Every even
ing in the week there are fine orches-
trail concerts in town and as many
band concerts given every evening. The
numerous card parties, sociables, club
entertainments, dinners, polo, golf'
boating on the lake, bicycle exercises
trolley rides to the lake and surround
ing country, the Indian encampment
for the little folks make things lively.
These grounds with the multitude OF
games, real Indians and their squaWs
are especially interesting. To those VINO
are interesting in horse racing every
day they can enjoy this pastime on the
track; to those who are more soberly
inclined and like to commence the day
alright the morning prayer and confer
ence meetings in the capacious Method
ist church offer every inducement.
Large numbers attend the meetings
which are not confined to any particular
denomination but are free to all.
In fact there is no other summer re-
sort in the world which at all ap-
proaches Saratoga in the way of varied
entertainments for its guests.
Quite a number of automobiles have
arrived in Saratoga and their owners
attract much attention as they spin
over, the we'll hardened roads of the vii
lage. The grand floral fete commences
September I'd and concludes the 9Th
inst 1t will be one of the grandest
floral festival ever held at Saratoga.
Four days and evenings will be devoted
to the various changes of the exhibit
ton.
Horseback riding and driving are
among the most popular pastimes OF
those who are fortunate enough to own
fine teams and there are large num-
Der of the most stylish rigs to be seen
every afternoon on Broadway ana
Union avenue. The Vanderbilts, Bel
monts, Whitneys and other millionaires
are often seen mingling in the drives
with their princely equipages. w. *.
Vanderbilt, jr., has recently imported
a $4,000 automobile from Germany. 1t
is at present in Newport, and may
reach Saratoga later. 1t is said ne
drives his horseless machine at ire
mendous speed. James English of New
Haven has four bay horses here of eX-
cellent style; he uses either fast phae-
ton or victoria. Mr.. and Mrs. English
take frequent drives down the boulevard
to the lake to Hilton park and other
fashionable resorts. Most of the fine
horses and carriages here are owned
by New Workers. The desire to own
good horse is born in most men; the
desire to own a better one than your
neighbor is the result of education.
Well it's a mighty pleasant and health
full thing, after one has been confined
to the whirl and business cares of the
city for a long season, to get out in the
fresh country air and find good road
bed and be able to make squirt or 50

bers of the chapters in other cities, as
well as strangers in general, are cor
daily invited to visit this historical
mansion and inspect one of the finest
collection of antiques in this country
music and sociability will be the order
of the day on this occasion
Several seasons ago an attempt was
made by some of the old highly moral
lied residents of Saratoga to break up
the gambling houses here and even to
stop horse racing. They were success
full for one season of externinating the
evil. but it was found to conflict finan-
cially with the hotel proprietors and
some other business interests of the vii
1age by keeping away many people
from summering in Saratoga who be-
lieve that the excitement of gambling
and horse racing should be part of
their pastime and recreation as much
as music dancing, driving, etc. So on
the next season gambling, racing, ETC.,
was allowed to be resumed as on form
er days But one of the large Broad
way gambling palaces was found to be
too open and dangerous in it's way of
doing business; in fact became reck-
less and the proprietor was arrested
and his place closed with a big veto
put on it that prevented it's being open
ed again this season. So the proprietor
taking advantage of the statute laws of
New York state, which forbids certain
gambling dens to operate entered a
complaint against the proprietor of the
noted club house, which is a well known
leader in sporting circles and caused a
raid to be made, its proprietor arrested
and the large stock of faro banks,
roulette tables and various other gam
bling apparatus seized and confiscated.
The proprietor is out under heavy
bonds for trial, which Is watched with
eager interest by all concerned. So
the sporting fraternity is out again un-
til the now vigilant villages get sleepy
