Where the Horses Will Start
Next.

Today was final race day for the
promoters OF the Matinee club, as
all day they have been busy going
over accounts. paying of debts and
closing up the books OF the meet.
As far as finances 90 the club will
have an even break. and the officials
are pleased with the attendance,
which was about 1000 paid admls-
alons for the four days. Consider
ing the business conditions Paducah
had as nice a little meet as could be
he'd in the country. The attendance
was about as large as last year. Not
for some time may II be told whether
a meet will be held next year. but
some OF the officials believe that this
year will not see the races die. IL Is
also probable that matinee races viii
be he'd this autumn, as the taste of
the sport has sent up cal for more
and there are enough good horses in
paducah to have occasional meets
during the fall.
All OF the race horses will be out
of Paducah b. tomorrow, as the races
will beginr at Mayhe,d next week. and
also Nashville. Today the horse own
