TRY PARI-MUTUALS
 SAYS KENTUCKIAN
REGULAR RACING WOULD BE GOOD THING FOR VISITORS
 SAYS BISHOP CLAY.
Kentucky Has Tried Out Machine Bet ting With Splendid Success in Past Year or Two.

That little racing, revival of ''the sport of kings,' the horses to run under the Pari+Mutual system, just as they do ''in 'o'e Kentucky" would do much towards the enter tai1ment of the visitors. is the apin- ion of Bishop Clay, of Kentucky, of the Blue Grass State.
 Don't imagine that the Bishop is a church dignitary. for he isn't, as that is merely his given name-and pretty good cognomen, at that and he is very good friend of Hot is MT. Clay's 14th annual visit. He leaves each time so invigorated and rejulventated that he tells his friends he Is coming back just that many more times, a sort of annual engage ment, as it were.
 Mir. Clay is we'll known in Lexing- ton. He is one of the that's citys most popular and prominent young business men. Commenting on con- ditions in this city while standing in the lobby of the Majestic hotel, where he always registers, he made the statement, while eulogizing Lexington that the Parl-Mutual system was great success.
 We have the legalized racing un- der the Pari-Mutual system," com mented MT. Clay, "and we have our spring and fall meets and they are largely patrolized. Hot Springs should have racing under the Pari- Mutuals. When you come to consid- CT the proposition, there is very little for the visitor once he gets here. Any man enjoys a good horse race, but when the sport is barred that feature of his entertainment is eliminated. We get along fine with Pari-Mutual racing, and an effort should be made to legalize this form of racing il Hot Springs"
 Here is hoping that MT. Clay's sug- gestion may become a reality here. Among other prominent southern CTS registered at the Majestic there is a party of Missippians, which in- clude w. w. Hall, largely identified
 with the lumber industry there. who | is registered from Jackson; J. s. Ed | wards, of Shelby, and R. o. Stewart, also of Jackson.
 MT. Edwards states that Shelby isn't the largest town in Mississippi, | but that it has a record for cotton it is proud of.
 "We ginaed 14.000 bales there last i tyear," are declared. This is not his initial visit to the Arkansas Spa, and he speaks in the highest terms of the | city and the baths.
 l MT. Stewart, of Jackson, is loyal | friend of Lieutenant Governor T. G.
 Bilbo. who, he stated. would in ell pro- | Liabilities arrive in this city some time during the ensuing week.
 We have had quite time in poli- | tics in Mississippi" declared MT. Stewart, "but the outlook is rather
 bright at the present time. l have llwritten to lieutenant Governor Bilbo | to come to Hot Springs for a little rest and recreation and he has ac-
 cepted the invitation. He will be the next governor of Mississippi, and he will make the best governor the state
 has ever had. too. His recent trial, | which was heralded al over the coun'
 try, resulted in an acquitttl. and, talk en al in all, he is one of the most re- | markable men the state has ever pro duced. To know him is to like him, and he will do more to advance the
 interests of Mississippi than any gov ernor the sate has had in years"
