FAMOUS SIRE WILL BE BROUGHT

SOME OF TIE FAST HORSES.

Plans for probably the greatest
Icrowd drawing card in the world TO
be made a feature at the fall fair
and races in Paducah in September
and October are under way. and II
the arrangements materialize the Pa
|ducah Fair association will not be
to welcome thirty thousand
Visitors this fall at the least.
The big attraction that will be Sc
|curred is Dan Patch, who holds the
worlds pacing record and four other
famous PAGERS as follows: Minor
Heir, 1859 Ia; Lady Maud c.,
t2:02&: Hedgewood Boyd. 2:02 Ia;
land George Gano, 2:03A. Secre-
Itary Rodney, S. Davis has been au-
Ithorized by the Fair association OF
lPaducah to close up the contract
with NJ. w. Savage. OF Minneapolis.
MINI, owner OF the thoroughbred
PAGERS aud IL the deal Is made. as II
will possibly be done in the next few
days. Paducah race horse lovers and
thousands of out-of-town people will
look upon 100000 worth of horse
flesh at the West End race curse.
Secretary Davis wrote to Mr.. Saw
ages some time ago and has just re-
ceived a letter from him giving his
terms. Mr.. Savage is owner of the
International stock Food company at
Minneapolis and is anxious to show
his horses here.
The local association has taken
the matter up and will pay a dear
price for the horses, but such a draw
ing card will bring thousands of out
siders here. Mr.. Savage says the at
traction will bring at least thirty
thousand people here and as many as
100. 900 for the crowds Just want to
get a glimpse OF Dan Patch.
Dan Patch.
Dan Patch. with the mark of 1:55,
is out of the game. He will not race
and will only be exhibited. Thous-
ands would go many miles just to
see the famous PAGER. He will be
kept in a stall within the view of all
attendance at the fair grounds and
will be on exhibition two days.
Minor Heir with a time of 1:5Oh,
will beat that mark, according to Mr..
Savage who expects him to go 1:5Sh
this season. He will probably do II
here and the Paducah track would
have the honor of holding the un-
paced world record.
Hedgewood Boy and Lady Maud
c. are as fast as they get. and both
will probably go over their mark.
George Gano is being driven by
Thomas Murphy this year and will
go to the two-mlnute mark this year
Is the general belief. Lady Maud
will come a close second for that
time.
Team racing between these four
PAGERS will be the feature as two Of
them will race close TO the two-min-
ute clip. II will be the fastest rae
ing ever seen here before. The con-
tract, when formally closed, will pro-
vide for the horses TO be raced for
two days. The dates of the fall fair
