Wing, D. E., proprietor of "The Davardo," Saratoga Springs, is one of the most experienced hotel men
in this village of splendid caravansaries. He has been connected with prominent hotels for twenty-one years, such
as the Clarendon and Commercial in Saratoga Springs; Hotel Warren at Warrensburg; the Stevens at Burlington, and
others. He was associated for several years with the Roselles of the "Arlington" at Fort William Henry.
In the spring of 1898 he purchased the "Kenmore" at Saratoga Springs. and conducts it in a manner that
places it at once among the best houses of the place, under the name of "The Davardo." "The Davardo"
has 150 large rooms, well lighted and ventilated and of perfect sanitary condition. It is convenient to all the
leading springs and has a large piazza space. Mr. Wing is a descendant of Abraham Wing, who settled at Glens Falls;
it was called Wing's Falls at first, but Abraham Wing, who was a tory, changed the name to Glens Falls to please
his friend Colonel Glenn, and history records that the colonel showed his appreciation of this generosity by opening
a bottle of wine.
