RACE MEET IN SELMA
BUSINESS srEN WILL HANG UP
 PURSES.
.The Date of Beginning is Fixed for November 10-News of
 the Central
 City,

Selma, Oct 2s.-(speciai. )--At meeting of the Board of Directors of the Central Alabama Fair Association held this morning 1t was decided that race meet wouid be put on In this city for five days. beginning Tuesday, November 10.
 While the program has not been ar- ranged it ie known that the directors propose to have three or four harness events each day and that they will of- fer good size purses so that only the best of horses will compete for these purses.
 An effort was made by the direc. tors of the Central Alabama Fair As- sociation several weeks ago to hold an annual fair and race meet in Sei- ma but the project fell through on account of the business interests of the city lacking interest init. few days ago several of the directors who are interested in racing decided that meeting should be held here and at once began working upon it. which resulted in the, meeting of the diree- tors being held this morning and the date of the race meet being agreed upon.
 It was decided that the Association would not ask the merchants of the city to contributa towards the purses which will be offered unless the mer chants volunteer to do so. The purses will be offered by the association and will be made as large as possible as the association is not holding the race meeting for the money which can be made but for the sport which the races will afford the people of Central Alabama.
 Another meeting of the Board of Di- rectors of the Central Alabama Fair Association will probably be held to- morrow and at which the plans Tor the races will be more thoroughly dis" cussed.
