FINE OUTLOOK FOB SABAT0GA. New York. June 22. — Richard T. Wilson. Jr.. the new president of the Saratoga Association, is working zealously these days preparing for the coming meeting at the Springs. Mr. Wilson is enthusiastic over the outlook. He says that every indication ■seata to successful racing at the Springs, and that the association will race six days a week if it takes every cent of its surplus to pay purses. But Mr. Wilson does not anticipate that the Saratoga Association will have to dig deep into its funds. Some money may tie lost making good such purses as the lloi eful. Spinaway. Travers and Alabama, but the daily attendance, it is believed, will yield sufficient revenue to offset oldigations undertaken this year. The healthiest portent of a prosperous meeting is furnished by the precipitancy with which the old time lioxhohlers are scrambling for tleir accustomed reservations. Most of the boxholders shunned Saratoga last year. Since the announcement by Air. Wilson and his associates, J. Harry Alexamlre and Andrew Miller, that Saratoga would provide six days racing a week throughout August, the de inanit for stalls has risen to the best average of seasons of plenty. It is a little early for the great hotels of tlie Springs to be tilling up. but their managers say that many of their l est rooms ate basked for the month of August. There will be plenty doing at Saratoga in August. The village is under the complete control of a liberal administration, and the pesnaa ha*t declared for an open season.
