Mr.. Morris when I asked where his
business partner was.

father Of seven children.
Mr.. Morris spent the spring ir
Europe. staying over Easter with III
uncle, Dave Hennen Morris. Amer-

he shares a cottage with George
Bull. president Of the Saratoga Rae

secretary and treasurer. The brok-
erage firm he and Mr.. Alexandra
are associated with is r. c. Win

Col. Edward Bradley. also a Wis

has occupied the same cottage. with
the same wallpaper on it and the
same furnishings IN it. for 81 years.

A long time ago he started a woman
IN the laundry business in Chicago
and was among her first patrons.
No matter where he is today. he
ships his laundry to Chicago each
week. To simplify the sending he
has had special hampers built to
hold the wash.
The colOnelS laundry is not with
out problems. He wears old-fash-
Toned white high collars of the tall.
straight kind. To be finished
they must be starched n a paper
stiffness.
Also an institution i: breakfast at
Col. Bradley'S training stables. To
watch the dawn come while you're
wrestling with the ham and eggs is
an experience to be enjoyed best in
retrospect. I struggled out at 4:3O a
couple of summers ago to breakfast
with Col. Bradley.
He says he never CANDLES. But his
stables have won and lost thousands
OF dollars for other persons.
Discovery, Alfred Gwynne Van
derbiltS horse, is the real sensation
OF the season. The gallery banked a
lot on Omaha. William Woodward's
Derby winner, but Discovery is

Young Mr.. Vanderbilt has leased
a cottage. His mother, Mrs. Mar
garet Emerson. stops at the huge
Vanderbilt lodge near Lonely
Racquette Lake But wild as the
lake is. the Vanderbilt lodge is never
lonely. A continuous house party is
always in progress.

leased their cottage to the George
Wldeners and are staying at Wood

Guggenheims Buy Horses
Among the newcomers this year
are Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Guggen-
helm. The former ambassador to
Cuba and his wife have taken &
house and gone to buying horses.
They did a lot of bidding at the
yearlinG sale this week. The prize
for continuous high bidding. how
ever. went 10 lively Mrs. Ethel Mars.
Chicago. mistress of the Milky Way
Stables.
The Jock WhitnevS still hold hon.
ors for owning Saratoga's most per-
fectly equipped estate. Their pri-
waite race track is quite as profess
Sionsl as the main course in front of
the Saratoga clubhouse.
I'd like to design race track Just
a mile around here and have the
start and finish post directly in
front Of the grand stand. IN about
one race out of seven are the ponies
lined up IN sight of the spectators.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitney can sit on
the edge Of their track and clock
the horses from beginning to end.
Both OF them are out every morning
at daybreak seeing their entries
worked out.
The general run of entries are
clicked on the main track. The
Whitney horses. however. are kept
on the private course.
The home life in Saratoga has
had more Of a chance this season.
The burning of the Brook last De-
cember finished the resorts gayeSt

But still on the horizon are the
Piping Rock. Riley'S. the Arrow

They're all so crowded on Sat-
urday nights" complained John
Morris. that you can't get in. and if
you do get in. you can't get out"
Helen Morgan is singing at the
Arrowhead. Irene Bordoni is being
featured at Riley's and Georges
Metaxa is at the Piping Rock.
Easy money is the password. The
evening theme song during Au-
gust is sung to the purr of the
roulette wheel. the shufffling Of
faro and the caStantet click of dice.
