The race track OF course is the CEN

almost everybody bets. About 80 per

ing so yesterday. The racegoers are
divided into three groups. In what
might be called the select group are
the frequenters of the club house and
the persons who rent boxes. 1t costs
$3.50 to be admitted to the club house.
The government gets 10 per cent of
this amount

persons who pay $3.50 to get into the

Saratoga, Aug. 2S.-The cheapest
thing in Saratoga is money. Every
body has it in abundance off and on
and spends it with the abandon Of the
drunken sailor in the old song.
Clerks bet 81 900 on a horse at the
race tracks. Newly made rich pile up
checks and counters on cards, dice
and the elusive roulette ball in the
spinning wheel Men throw dollars
around as they used to toss dimes.
Women accustomed to ginghams
and rhinestones gladden. the eye and
stimulate the sense of humor in their
efforts to carry with grace silks and
diamonds. The most suitable is dis
carded for the most expensive.
Extravagance and a contempt for
money values intrudes itself at every
turn on the picturesque streets of the
most famous of the American resorts,
and Oldest of the cures in the corri-
doris of the great barn-lke hotels. at
the race track, in the dining places in
the lake section and fits by in the
bewildering parade of flashy motor
cars.
Never in the history of the Spa to

days to gamble away the profits of
his cotton and sugar crops, have the
thrifty natives seen such a display of
money and the things that money
