CANFIELD'S NEW CLUB.
Noted Gambler Plans a Magnificent
 Resort for Saratoga.

Richard A. Garfield will close the Saratoga club for the season on Satur- day night, and when it reOpens next summer those who knew it this sum mer will rub their eyes and wonder if it is the same place. Scarcely will the employees have vacated the building before it will be turned over to the contractors and the architect, who have been instructed to make changes, ad- ditions and altera tions that will result in one of the most commodious and artistic restaurants and supper rooms in the world. Clarence Luce of New York was instructed some time ago to draw up plans and specifications for the changes MT. Garfield has had in mind for months. and he has so far completed his labOrs that work on the foundations will be begun next week. and prosecuted with such diligence that the new structure will be boarded in before the snow flies.
 The gaming side of the Saratoga club has been well nigh overshadowed this summer by the social side. Night after night the supper room has been crowd ed by gay parties of men and women (which often included representatives of the most modish folk in the country. So great has been the demand for tables that they had to be engaged two or three days in advance to make sure of getting them. The improvements | that MT. Garfield has ordered will still | further emphasize the social side of the club. and it would not be surprising If in time the gaming tables came to be regarded as merely an adjunct to other things.
 | The present supper room Is 9Sx2S feet. When the Improvements arc completed it will be 9SxGO feet, or more than double it's present size. As it will be made to give it light and airy appear ance. The architecture will be purely colonial in every detail, and severest 1 simplicity will be ,the predominating note. The color scheme will be white, and between the present room and it's | extension will rise a row of severely beautiful pillars twelve feet apart Bow windows will open on the easr. the north and the west, while out over the lawn on the east will bend a wide arched window, full of squares rf stained glass. Between the windows the walls will be covered with mirrors divided with scores oG small panes, which will reflect the light at hun | ired different angles. The ceiling will | be composed of many plaster pangis, all in white, and behind each will be q ventilator to let the cool air in and tho dead air out.
 The extension will be only one story in height, and the kitchen and the pun try will be equipped as elaborately as that of any hotel in New York or the world. The decorative work on the in- | tcricr. while already laid out, will not | be done until spring, but the entire job will be completed before the opening of | the next season.
 But the most interesting and signifi- cant thing about the pending enlarge ment of the club is the fact that it fore shadows q far greater Saratoga club. MT Garfield now owns all the property on the block bounded by Union avenue l Circular street, Putnam street and Spring street The only buildings standing there are the Saratoga club l some cottages anG, away oyer in Spring ] street, some stables. whose leases will not expire until the spring of 1904. l. can be authoritativcly stated that not long after these leases expire the build ings will be pulled down, and MT. Can
 field will be in a position to execute
 a long cherished project.
 There will be built on the brow of tho
 hill above the present club house an i'm posing structure designed to attract thu
 best in money and culture that tho
 country produces. While Mir. CanfielC
 is known as a gambler the most sue
 cessful in this country and possibly il
 ths world he will do everything in hi
 power to make the new Saratoga cluI
 best known for things other thai gambling. TLere will be facilitie
 there of course, for those who wish t'
 gamble, but the gaming room will b
 decidedly in the background
