Lexington. August l0-Dates for the fall meetings of the Kentucky race tracks were allotted at meeting of the state racing commission here today as fol- lows: Lexington, nine days. September 14 to September 23, inclusive; Louisville, 1s days, September p to October II, in- elusive: Latonia, 24 days, October Is to November II. inclusive.
 The Louisville club was the only one to bid for the Endurance stakes of $l2, ,00t at four miles, and the race will be run there The Louisville management is to fix the date and conditions.
 Two important rules were offered and laid over for 30 days. One would abolish auction pools and all foms of betting eX- cept pari mutuels. The other provides that all telephone and telegraph wires used for dissemination of racing news be removed from the grounds
