CANF|ELD MAY
TURN CLUB HOUSE
INTO A CASINO

Saratoga, ~ Y, Aug. 22.-There is a
possibility that the famous Garfield
club house and grounds may be trans
formed into another Tuxedo. 1t be-
came known last night that three or
four men, socially and financially
strong in New York have asked Mr..
Garfield to consider a proposition TO
turn the famous old club house into a
casino. something like the Casino at
Newport, erect cottages in the beauti-
ful park surrounding the house and put
tennis courts and otherwise transform
the place into a regular casino.
A restaurant would be maintained in
OF the casino would take their meals
there. When Mr.. Canheld was asked
last night IL the story was true. he said
There is just a basis OF fact in ii.
You know several attempts havo been
made TO establish such a thing in Sara
toga, but the cost OF acquiring and ft-
ting up the property. has been always
too great to satisfy Those interested in
the scheme to undertake g. The propo-
sition to make use OF my property was
made to me in a purely tentative way
the other day, and l assured the men
who came TO me that / would cooper
ate with them in every way I could.
Il am willing TO reht the house and
put in the tennis court and build the
cottages All / ask Is a guarantee OF
sufficient sum I'm rentals TO justify the
expense and make a reasonable return
on the investment II that 10 done
Will very gladly undertake 10 carry out
my end OF the contract.
Il am anxious TO retire from business
and the opportunity may come. perhaps.
IN this thing goes through. My Saratoga
interests are all I have left. Whether
things go through or not will depend
entirely on whether those chiefly in
terested In a similar scheme I'm other
years Will conclude to join the others I'm
this one"
Canheld Is the heaviest individual
taxpayer in Saratoga county. His club
house and grounds alone represent an
outlay Of nearly si,o0000o
II the casino scheme Is carried out IL
means the close of Canheld's career as a
gambler and the club house as the
most famous gambling house in the
Western world will pass into history

He has howled louder as champion
