SARATOGA, N. ", August 24.--The
Saratoga season is now on it's last
week. and white 1t has been n success
from n racing point Of view, 1t cannot
be said TINT. 1t has come up to the
standard of other years socially speak
Ing. There is no absence of racing
folks but such cannot be said OF the
prominent social lights who always
made 1t their business to spend at
least a portion of the month OF August
at Saratoga. At no better place could
this be noted than at the clubhouse in
the afternoons and Canfield's Mt nights.
Last year the clubhouse balcony was
crowded to an uncomfortable degree,
VIII g tables after the races at Can
fiel IS were at premium and had to
be reserved in advance. Things are
quite different this year. No one ex-
perienced any trouble in finding seats
on the clubhouse piazza during the
running of the races, while there were
many vacant tables at Canneld's In ths
evening. The, villagers also complain
of the absence of the social horde, Cot
tages which were eagerly engaged Mt
900 for the season in 1906 went beg
ging for half that amount this year,
and even with these prices prevailing
many2of the more pretentious cottages
remained dark.
The uncertainties at present prevail
Ing In Wall Street, coupled with the
disastrous slump In stocks last March,
explain it all. Most of the rich men
do not feel able to spend two or three
thousand dollars for a months recre-
alton at the Spa (for that's what 1t
costs to run first-class establish
ment), SO they gave 1t out that the evil
times in New YorIs's big financial CEN
tres require their presence on the.
scene to protect their interests.
