Despite Great Influx of
Vacationists; Chauncey
Olcott Is Host at Party
Special Correspondence

SARATOGA SPRINGS, July &c.
During the week vacationists have
been coming into the city by the car
load. Nearly every day the railroads
have been obliged to run trains to
Saratoga in two sections to accommo
date the traffic. Just what becomes of
the people after they arrive is a mys
terry. Neither the streets, hotels nor
boarding houses seem to be over
crowded, yet the people are here in
number to transform this inland re-
sort into a city of three times its
normal population.
SO complete a system of caring for
the stranger within her gates has been
devised by long practice that there is
no crowding, no discomfort, no tuckin.,
away in hall bedrooms or bathrooms,
nor sleeping in the halls.
Many Homes Are Leased
One Of the answers might be found
in the fact that many of the residents
of the city turn their homes over to
the summer guest and they themselves
go out of town for the season. 1t is
summer SUNNI over 200 houses houses have bean
leased by out-of-town parties.
