Saratoga Hotel Life and Hidden Lager Tales
A Saratoga letter describes scarce wine corks at dinner and clever patrons skirting hotel prices by buying lager at 10 cents and using 40 cent hotel bottles. A colored shopkeeper notes a woman taking lager for a “Missus over at the States,” exposing hotel price gaps. The piece notes cigars, travel to the racecourse, and travel routines as “grand exercise.”
