Vacations for All
Purses Offered by
CutskilI Resorts

ALBANY, N. Y.-Catskill Noun
tain resort villages are bustling in
preparation of welcome to more
than half a million vacationers
to their 1000 hotels, camps and
tourist homes this season.
The resort people are no longer
depending exclusively on the
natural charm of the mountains
to provide their customers. They
have been busy expanding and
undermining.
improvements run along the
line of more of the same, but
better"-bigger swimming pools,
bigger dining rooms. more tennis
courts, more entertainment.
Some of the places in Sullivan
County can house more than l 900
people and feed $500 persons at
one time. Luxury is the stock in
trade in many hotels and filet
mignon and pate de fois gras are
on their menus. Among their
steady customers are wealthy
families from all parts of the Ma
ton. This is not to say that
Catskill resorts have turned their
backs on the little people whose
modest vacation desires first put
them in business.
One of the principal reasons for
the attractiveness of the Catskill
region, an area that includes
Delaware, Greene, Ulster and Sui
livan Counties, is the fact that
there is such a variety in the style
and cost of the accommodations
offered. There are places where
the vacationer who wants luxury
can get it-and will pay accord
ingly-but the great majority of
resorts are intended for the per-
son of modest means.
According to the State Depart
ment Of Commerce. most Catskill
resorts charge $50 to $50 per week
per person, which includes lodging
meals and sports facilities. Others
go as high as $3.50 a week. Ameri-
can plan. Dude ranch charges
run from $40 to $50 a week. A
few run somewhat higher. There
is dozen of these ranches which
build their programs around
bed, board and bronc."
The theory under which the re-
sort proprietors are operating is
to provide plenty of recreation
and entertainment for the guests.
"A little something for every kind
of person to do" as one proprietor
put it, "even those who don't
want to do a darn thing"

The original race was laid out

and an early critic complained that
the fences were 80 small that one

There was feverish activity to cor
rect this impression and today the
course, which is approximately
two and a quarter miles in circum-

around it twice - is crossed with
fences high and tricky.
Probably the most famous fence

fearsome beard, rode his horse into

a permanent name.

First Steeplechase
Ii HE Grand National was the
worlds first great steeplechase
and has continued to grow in pop
ularity since its inception, Ill
years ago. The expression, steeple-
chasing, originated when fox hun
tiers, returning from hunt, took
to amusing themselves by racing
cross country. The horsemen
would select a church steeple,
visible for miles as a goal.
They'd make bets with each other
and then fly across streams, mead
ows, hedges and walls. These affairs
became so popular that similar
barriers were set up on regular
courses and prizes offered.
