SARATOGA, N, Y., Aug, 2. ARATOGA is in full swing again. The city is sport mad, The lid is not off; there are no gambling places running wild as of yore; there are no open vices and there are Bo intoxicants of any kind to be had. But racing has taken such a strong hold on the populace that lovers of the thoroughbreds from all parts of the country have gathered here, Over the sport the townspeople are more enthusiastic than ever, but their en- thusiasm is not one whit keener than that displayed by thousands who have come hundreds of miles. North, East, South and West, and even Can- da, have sent their full bowed And every one is talking horse. T' thoroughbred is king. He is the sole topic of conversation, The horse craze is contagious, and journ here twenty- four hours means he or she becomes thoroughly afflicted with thoroug' breditis, Every one talks horse, writes horse, breathes horse, and ip some beaneries eats horse. And there is a reason, Th qughbrs America hi a decade are here, trim and fit to run bes ® races of their lives, he East is rivalling the yon, and before the meeting is a week ol racing history will be created.

Work started this week on the two eighteen-hole courses of the Biltmore Country Club at Rye. Both courses re completed Rye will be the chief golf spot in America, a Mecoa for club swingers from all over the map. Officers of the Biltmore Coun- try Club are: John McE. Bowman, President; Gage E. Tarbell, Vico Pres- ident; Charles iacDonald, Second Vice President; E retary and Treasurer, “The Biltmore layout is unique,” said Architect Travis, describing the new courses. “There, are two 18-hole courses, one measur! (4,004 yards out and 2, frem the back tees and from the forward tees. This is built on orthodox lines. ‘Tite other measures, from the back tees, 6,662 yards (3,340 yards out and 322 yards in) and 6,315 yards from the forward tees for the regular course, and 6,689 rds (3,266 yards cut and 3,423 yards in) from the back tees and 6,347 yards from the forward tees. The latter course {s reversible. The shorter course is laid out more especially for the average player. No two holes on either course are alike, nor xet the putting greens. Many of the holes are provided with two, three and in one case four tees, to be used according to wind and weather conditions. A lake is being con- structed, designed especially for golf. These water hazard holes—there are three of them—are most inspiring. One of them has two alternative lines ot play and another no less than four. “There is not a weak hole in the whole .bunch—and there are some really magnificent ones, more espe- cially on the reversible course, which latter I might honestly say will lay claim to be regarded as one of thi finest, if not the finest, in the coun- try.’ ‘According to present plans both courses will be ready for play in July next year.
