fleet horses at the race meeting during
the state fair is most promising. They
say that the tracks are in better condi-
tlon than ever and very fast. Many
stables Of running horses. including
many well known cracker-iacks. are al

live in the cities and towns Of Texas,
but the ruralists love running horses,
and always so wild over closely con-
tested races between their favorltcs.
The average man loves racing IL he
is not hypocrite, and IL make the
blood of Texan tingle and his eNu-
berant spirits overflow to watch the
flyers Of the turf spinning around the
course under whip and spur and come
down the home stretch amid the huz-
zas and the wild cheering of the grand
stand contingent. Admirers of run
ming races and lovers of running horses
will be surfeited with their favorite
pastime this year. The horses and the
jocks are here. ready TO break records,
pull down the purses and furnish ex-
hilerating sport for those who seek
recreation at the race track. The
grand stand and surrounding build
!ngs have been remodeled since last
year. and many needed improvements
made Col. John n. Simpson. manag-
ing director OF this department, pre-
diets the most successful racing meet
ing In the history OF the association.
Col Simpson is conversant with all the
details and IL jubilant over the pros
poets. And his associates agree with
him that great racing events may be
anticipated by the public this year.
