SARATOGA, Aug. s.-Saratoga tonight 10
sitting up for company This being a
summer resort 10 pretty n business.
Here in this beautiful village in the foothills
Of the A~dirondscks there 10 probably in-
vested In hotels. In mineral springs. in other
pleasure gratifying and health giving para
phernalia. as we'll as in trade. not far from
si0.OOO.OOO. The dividends ON the capital
invested must be earned in just about n
month or not at all. II one doesn't think
it Is rather nerve wearing to be a summer
resort let him try to earn dividends out Of
one.
Yet Saratoga Ia no different from any other
OF ne many fsmous summer resorts OF the
country. It's a get rich quick game n a
get poor quick game sure enough. But
In spite OF the situation which they are up
against hero the proprietors Of all Of the
big hotels seem TO be fairly we'll pleased
with themselves and the world. The aver
& summer ~innkeeper is very much like
the average proprietor Of a successful
gambling house. No matter how much
the house may be ahead Of the game the
stereotyped reply regarding the business b:
only fair; not anything like what 1t
ought to be-"
Notwithstanding this pe~rennially beau
tiful pessimism thef facts appear to be that
Saratoga is a good bit further ahead Of
the game this year than she was at the
same time a year 60. Broadway tonight.
It's spanning elm arches hung from end
to end with fanoiful ~festoons Of thousands
of incandescent lamps. is thronged with
happy. careless midsummer pleasure
seekers. and q jewel show and dress parade
ia on in the great hotel bathrooms. through
whose windows floats the music Of the two
step and the waltz.
The village reminds one Of a debutante
the night before her presentation dance.
1t is fdgeting and fussing n worrying
about the great event Of the morrow. To-
morrow night Col. John q. Cavanagh.
Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister
P,enipotentiary from the Jockey Club to
the Metropolitan Turf Association. or what
is left Of that Industrious organization, will
arrive here in sections Of the Cavanagh

have detrained Saratoga will get a pretty
defini notion Of sort OF a coming out
party she 10 to have on Monday when the
races begin.
Word cam from Cavanagh at Brighton
Beach to-day that the special would be the
largest he has brought to Saratoga, but the
message also contained the statement that
because Of the greater number OF turfmen
and turf followers it would not be necessary
for the local authorities to call out either the
fire department or the militia.
Everybody seems to be mentally specu-
lating on the effect the meeting at Yonkers
will have on the Saratoga meeting. IL
isn't known in these parts what stables are
going to rae at tie Empire City track. but
the stables of tie following owners are 1t

Of the Yo mixers meeting is r. +. Watkins:
IL was said that W. +. Schultz had decided
tary Earlucker said this evening that Mr..
Schulte's stable was expected here in the
morning. From this showing it would
seem that all Of the best stables In the
East would race at the Springs instead
OF at Yonkers.
Robert A. Pinkerton, chief Of the eastern
division OF the Pinkerton agency, will sail
for Europe on Thursday, with Eorie Sui
Ivan. William A. Pinkerton, chief Of the
Western division, will nave the general
supervision OF the police and detective ar
rangements at the track. THE Sum cor
respondent asked Mr.. Pinkerton at Congress
Hall tonight why IL was that his agency
had declined to police the Empire City
track. Mr.. Pinkerton said:
The reason Ii extremely simple. Unless
we can do any piece of work well we do not
care to dc it at all, With all of the other
work we ave it wa absolutely impos-
sible for us, on the short notice we had, to
take on the work at the Empire City track
and do IL as we would be expected to do IL.
IL would take between seventy and eighty
men, inc those men, or the majority of
them, would have to be broken in. With
my brother out Of the country i did not
care to undertake the job. I have more
work to do now than I can we'll take caro- Of"
Mr.. Pinkerton was asked II his brother
was going abroad again for his health,
and the veteran detective replied:
mot much. / am glad to say that my
brothers health 10 now first rate. He 10
going over to take charge Of Sullivan. You
know F1orie In one OF the swell toe dancers
Of the East Side. The latter part Of the
month the annual contest for the internal
tional toe dancers cup will take place in
Paris.
Florrie entered for the contest some time
ago, but after the theft Of the Ascot gold
cup, feeling cock sure that he would win the
toe dancers' cup. he wanted TO make sure
that he would have IL when he got home.
So the Florence Sullivan Association en-
gagged the Pinkerton agency TO send a special
guard over with Florrie.
I'VE have had no such important COM
mission in years, and the heads of the
