 The 1912 racing season in the Unit ed States will be brought to a close Sunday afternoon at the Arkansas State Fair, when the last sanctioned event of the year vii be run.
 All the drivers and cars have been sent to winter quarters except the group of stars congregated in Hot Springs and they will head for their homes Immediately following Sunday s contests.
 But Hot Springs is fortunate in get ting the windup contests as it will assure the speed fans and gasoline followers more excitement than un- der ordinary conditions. Caution can be thrown to the wind as there will be plenty of time in which to rebui d broken machines, in case of accident.
 1he State Fair management has announced that a big free -for-all race will be the feature Of the entire pro. gram of seven events and that it will take two-out-ef three heats to decide this contest

 On Wednesday the track was ex- eeedingly rough and the drivers had no chance to try out their machines Now the conditions are different and on Sunday afternoon the track will be as smooth as experts can make it.
 Louis Disbrcw the racing monarch who drove mi c in 56 seconds flat on Wednesday. said yesterday that with the Improvement promised on the track a mile in 53 seconds was not impossible.
 DisbTow has had the rear axle talk en from his car and strengthened On Wednesday he hit the soft turn SC hard at the end of the home stretch that he sprung the rear wheels out of line. But by this evening the trouble will be eliminated and the great lit- tie machine which has made more speed history this year than any oth- CT racing creation in the world, will be ready for competition events, which vii, make up the program.

The horse was formerly regularly engaged as the star of a horse show. but has been locally own ed for more than two years, and while he is not regularly worked, yet he shows no i'll results of being out of the game to which he was so tho.- oughly trained as young iiorse.
 The colts of Hil burst S., owned by Mr Garen of this city, were exhibited in front of the stand yesterday in the morse show and attracted much at tention. Tie first prize went to s colt owned by Mir. Bob Sigman Of south Hot Springs, and was pronounc- ed most excellently perfect colt his age being but eight months.
