COMING TO THE MEETING OF
TIE PINE BLUFF STATE
FAIR.
Bob Pice's Famous Racers end Many
Other Well Known Animals Sc
Run During Week.

The races at the Pine Bluff state
Fair. which begins on Monday, Octob
er 10. and closes October 23, promise
to be the most interesting and best
ever carried out here, and, positively
the best ever had in Arkansas.
Secretary NJ. +. Bloom of the fair
association, says special attention is
being paid the races this year, oW
ing to the fact that the race program
is the chief drawing cSrd at the an
nual show, ana the crowds who attend
the fair usually turn out to witness
the racing events, and for practically
no other purpose.
The purses offered by the assOcia-
ton this year are as large and as
numerous as those offered at any Of
the args tracks in the country. The
public should appreciate the efforts
of Secretary Bloom, whose only de-
sire is to bring Pine Bluff forward
and give the local public good races,
and attend the fair in large numbers.
There will be six races each day, four
running and two harness events. The
',bookies' will be owned. controlled
and run by R. w. DeNeffe, Of Shreve-
for same, and the fact that DeNeffe
has had the books here on more than
one occasion and has always given
satisfaction, insures liberal and hon
est dealings at the track this season.
The fair association wishes the pub
lie to know that it will be protected
at the track and that crooked deal
ings among any unfairly inclined
horsemen will not be tolerated.
