The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-09-07
Close october 10.

The list of entries in the early closing
purses for the Alabama state fair has
been made up and they show that the
races this year will be all that the afrI
management has been claiming-the fast
est best and most exciting racing ever
seen in this state. The chief events as
will be noted below will be four stakes
of $1,000 each, offered by well known citi-
zens. These events will bring the fastest
light harness horses in the country to
the State Fair.
The list in the early closing purses does
not by any means constitute the racing
programme but only those horses which
were entered last spring, the early clos
Ing purses having closed June 10.
The regular purse races will not close
until October 10-during the Lexington,
Ky. meeting-and 1t is very likely that
all the best stables of grand circuit horses
will come direct here from Lexington. Ed
Geers and Myron McHenry. the two great
est drivers in the world. will certainly
be here with their horses. The regular
purses will be $500 for the following
classes:
Trotting. 1885, 2:27. 2:17. 2:l2, 2:O7; also
a race for Alabama owned horses Pacing,
2:25, 220 2:14, 2:10 2:07. Free for all and
Alabama owned horses.
The greatest interest will center in the
four large stakes, which will be for $1,000
each.
The "Exum Stake for free for all
PAGERS, $1,000.
The Piedmont Farm Stake" for 212
class trotters. $1,000,
The "Kaul Stake for 2:14 PAGERS, $1,000.
The "McCurdy Farm Stake" for 2:17
class trotters, $1,000.
In addition to these races there will be
each day a race for crack amateur
drivers, a running race, pony race and
last but not least, there will be a re-
newal Of the celebrated Alabama mule
derby for trotting mules.
