SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. Y, July 3d.
What promises to be the greatest race
meeting ever held at this famous track
will begin on Monday with card of
surprising excellence for the deloctation
of distinguished gathering of sport low
ers from all over this country and
Canada.
The meeting will continue through the
entire month OF August. and the pro-
gramme for that period is an evidence
of the desire of the management: Of the
Saratoga Association for the Improve
ment of the Breed of Horses to gtve a
series of tests which will brine TO the
post the best horses in training.
Because OF the quality OF the sport
here. where racing is seen under the
most favorable conditions possible, Sara
toga occupies a unique position among
the smaller cities of the United States.
During the winter months it slumbers
In the embrace of Adirondack SHOWS
With the advent of spring occasional
transients come to take the waters. and
these are augmented weekly by health
seekers until the middle of July. when
the advance guard Of the racing contin-
gent arrives. With the approach Of
August the streets take on a more cos
mopolitan aspect, and the gossip OF the
course Ia heard at the springs. on the
streets and from the recesses of the
cosey chairs in the courtyards of the
great hotels during the band concerts
morning and evening.
The Saturday night previous to the
opening Saratoga is a town. On SUM-
day night when special trains arrive and
pour their throngs upon the streets to
augment the thousands who have come
by other trains or motors during the
day it Is a city throbbing with life and
animation. To the student OF human
nature in its various phases II furnishes
an interesting study.
Good Horses and Waters.
1t was the habit In the days when
the goddess of fortune might be wooed
in artistic environment to attribute much
of the popularity OF the resort to the
fact that II was then a so-called open
town. There was no diminution in the
ranks of pleasure seekers. however when
municipal conditions brought change.
AS matter of fact the attendance at
the races has steadily grown. This In
itself is a tribute to the excellence of
the management at this point. The de-
velopment of the springs by the State
and the realization that the waters here
are as efficacious as those of the Conti-
nent has had a favorable influence also.
The opportunity to take the cure and
enjoy the races simultaneously has been
welcomed by thousands to whom the
month of August spells a period Of de-
lightful recreation.
The programme for the opening day.
consisting as 1t does of three stake
events, offers racing Of the best
quality. The best horses In America are
