Saratoga as a town is IN the doIefui dumps
The season has been financial failure The
hotels have not paid expenses In former years
racing has brought a thrOng OF spenders mere
for August and the hotel men have made
enough in four weeks TO clean up a profit for
the entire year. This year there has been no
throng and no liberal spenders- Just what
fs 70 become OF the mammoth hotels here an
other wear Is a problem that is worrying the
hotel people The state convention is brighten
ing things up little Most Of the good rooms
ar the United States have been taken for the
convention and the old town begins to look as u
did in days gone by.
