The Cumberland Fair and
TFots, at Nashville, Tenn.


readers 10 the coming Fair and 1rOtting
meeting, to be held at the Cumberland
Park, Oct. II to p. From present indi-
cations, they will have the most success
full meeting ever held in this State, and
equal to any ever held anywhere.
They hope to have the cooperation
of the public in making their State Fair
an event that shall be credit to the
State at large. Their premiums are liberal,
and they have endeayOred to arrange
them to suit all classes of competitors
The entries already promised give
them great encouragement. The Horse
Show will be prominent feature of the
Fair, and they expect To present the most
magnificent collection of hlgh-claSS
horses ever gathered in this locality,
Already we can say that several States
will be represented, and nearly every
prominent winner in a show-ring within
radius of several hundred miles viii
be entered there.
In the line of noted trotters and pae-
ers, they VIII beat the world. Over six
hundred of the iastCstharneSs horses ON
the turf are entered there, and probably
ct least one hundred of the lot have
records, or can arot in , rs. This was
wonderful rate of speed a few years ago,
but it does not lead the crowd now.
They will show visitors nj their meeting
a dozen horses that can beat 2:IO. and
many OF the races ON the program will be
trotted and paced in faster time than this.
1t seems really wonderful, but horses
almost fly through the air this year,
and ,as their track is as fast, II lot faster,
than any, why should they not look for
greater performances. Their meeting
viii afford many the only opportunity to
see these noted horses and their trainers.
1t is worth long journey to see such
veteran trainers as Orrin Hici>oE. John
Splan, Bubb Doble, Ed Geers and others
fight ont desperate finish to a heat.
There is scarce trainer OF EOtC IN the
country that is not coming to this meet
ing, and each will bring the best horses
in his stable. for they hang up over
ste, Geo in stakes and purses, and they
are all looking for the big money. They
give several stakes OF 81 SEQ each. and
others Of So. Geo. so why should they not
get the best horses in the country?
Among the noted horses that are al
ready entered we end Mascot. , .0l Hal

list that have records around 2:l5.
All these are entered in contested
races, aside from one of the big stakes
that the horses are not named until Oct.
l. No man ever saw n grandCr list OF
entries to any meeting. The list OF Spe-
cial races and noted horses that Will be
shown is alone enough to make good
meeting MIR. Marvin, the noted trainer
Al.
| of Eiectioneer performers III the list, will
be there with the great colt Arion, that
| last year, as a 2-year-uld. took a record
| of . 10 Sd, and was later sold by Senator
| Stanford to a gentleman IN Boston Tor
| 1926, COO. You may never have another
| chance in your life, dear reader, TO see
horse that sold for such a sum, but at
| this meeting you can alsO-see him trot,
| as he will be started to beat the worlds
record for 3-year-olds, which is 2:l0 10
made by Sunol The colt is in great
| form, and his trainer believes he is liable
! to wipe out the stallion record, which is
2 :OS "a. held by Palo Alto. Do not miss
seeing this great performance.
The great young mare SUnOl will also
| be there, and will be started to beat the
worlds record. Snnol has not been
| started this year, as it was decided to
! have her in perfect shape before she took
| a tilt at the record Her owner Mr..
Robert Bonner, has consented To let her
| come to Nashville, and make I'll effort
over the fastest track in The worlG. :ii:d
! Charles Marvin. her trainer. writes that
| the mare is now in form, and that he cX
| poets to show a wonderful mile. OF
| course readers know that last year Sunol
! held the secord of the world, which was
. 0S IA, and it is pretty safe TO say that
| after she finishes her mile she viii again
| hold the record.
The three fastest horses that ever wore
! n harness have been matched to so a race
during the meeting. Each has beaten
! every horse in his class, until now there
| is nothing for either to beat except each
| other. Hal Pointer has been able to play
with Direct this year, and he stands at
the head of the list, especially among
! Tennessee people. Flying Jib has never
| lost.a race and he recently won a second
! heat in 2:05 "a Before that he had
paced third heat in 2:07. AS he has
! never been beaten, naturally his owner
| believes the horse does not live that can
! beat him. The third fellow that knows
he has a world beater is the owner of
Mascot. This gclding recently won the
| fastest fiVc-heat race on record, anti last
week he won The fastest three heats and
! fastest race ever trOttcd or paced. the
entire race averaging only trihc slower
than 07 Then he paced mile in
2:0i, which is his record.
When these three horses meet, II Will
be the first time they have over come to-
gether, and it will be the first time this
year that either has met a horse that
could beat him. OF coUSe when the
three meet two must be h";tea, but the
ouestion is. which two? Any man that
| can tell this in advance need never lack
| money during the balance of his life, for
| there will be more money bet on the race
| than either horse could draw away.
The rates of fare on Tie railroads will
be reduced to merely nominal figures
SOFAS to bring every body in. Hyou have
any trading to do, make one journey OF
it, and buy your goods and see the fair
and trot at the same time, The big days
will be on Thursday and Friday, but
every day will be a big day to lover of
/ good horses.
