HORSE RACING AT THE
MUSKOGEE FAIR
Muskogee, Sept. 4.—Among the
big drawing cards to the Oklahoma
Free State Fair, Sept. 30 to Oct. 5,
inclusive, will be the horss ^Yacng.
Several years ago when automobile
racing became the vogue, horse rac-
ing for the time being took a place
in the baqk ground, but in the past
few years there has been a great re-
vival of the sport of kings, and this
fall will find a splendid program of
horse racing events at the Free State
fair.
Since the Oklahoma Free State
fair s in a circuit which includes the
State fairs of the n iddle west and
•southwest and especially since the
Dallas fair will not show this year,
much interest is being manfested by
race horse owners in the fair to be
held on local grounds. Many letters
in regard to the races have been re-
ceiver by the fair association and a
fine string of horses are expected to
be entered.
There will be horse racing on four
adys, the other two days, Wednes-
day and Saturday, having been set
•aside for automobile racing. At least
two harness events and at least two
• and possibly three running events
wll be scheduled for each of the four
tlays. The association has greatly j
increased the purses this year. Last
..year the largest purse offered was
$300 while this year the smallest of-
fered is $850 and others run from
$400 to $500. Entries will close
Sept. 15.
A new fence has been built around
the track and new barns for the race
horses have been erected on the ex-
treme far side of the "track directly
across from the new grandstand.
T;ie track has been kept in splendid
condition the entire year, the care-
taker having had it gone over freq-
uently during the past few months.
In fact all indications are that the
rauixg events this fall will surpass'
anything held in Oklahoma for sev-j
«entl years.
