Saratoga Colony
Here In Camden
As Camden has been fur many
yet\r? the favorite winter resort of all
people truly interested in horses, it
is only natural that a fairly large
percentage of its most enthusiastic
supporters should bo from Saratoga. ,
There is a definite likeness between I
tho two racing seasons, and although ,
thore is a difference in the type of rae- j
lug, the 8tune people who brought i
their steeplechasers to Saratoga are.
invariably found running them here. |
F. Ambrose Clark, F. S. Von Stade,
and John Hay Whitney are a few of |
the more prominent owners who sup- ,
port -both places with the greatest in-1
terest.
Among the people who take cottages
for the Camden season as well ,
as for August in Saratoga are Mr. and
Mrs. W. Gay lord Tucker, Mrs. Woods
Robinson, and Mr. and Mrs. D. Walter
Mabee. There is also what practically
amounts to a Saratoga colony
staying at the Court Inn, that includes
Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Pohndorf, and their
daughter Anita. Paul . Downing and
his brother John Downing, Mr. and
Mrs. S. W. Morton and their daughter
Emily Anne.
Mad Dog Bites Many
Before Being Killed
The killing of a mad dog in Rectory
Square 'Thursday morning by
patrolman Mayer, who pursued the
rabid anlniaJ from the down town district
and saw him bite at least six
dogs on Broad street should serve as
a warning to dog owners to carefully
watch their canine friends and in the
event of symptoms of rabies develop |
to have the dog or dogs done away j
with. I
So far as the police have been, able
to learn the mad dog was observed
on lower Broad street In the morning. ,
The police immediately started a I
search for the animal and located him
on Broad street. Officer Mayer went
after the dog but because of pedestrians
could not get chance to shoot
until the dog reached Rectory Square.
One of the dogs bitten by the rabid .
animal belonged to a party known to
Officer Mayer and this dog has been
isolated. At least five other dogs
were bitten according to the officer
and this number may be greatly multiplied
if the dog. attacked as many
other dogs before the police came Into
the picture as he did after. I
