Numerous CONCESSIONS.
As a result of long list of entries
that have been made in the horse
races to be held at the Cape Fair,
President Charles Blattner and Secre-
tary j. T. Num- Jr., yesterday de-
clared that there will be more horses
at this years race meet than ever be-
fore.
The races will be the classiest in the
circuit and each owner is pointing his
nags for this Fair.
The entries in the two $1,000 stake
races have been closed and the entries
in several other $500 purse races will
be closed in few more days.
The date for closing those races was
set for September Is, but owing to the
fact that entries have been made for
the races with all the six secretaries in
the Southeast Missouri and Northern
Arkansas circuit, the books still are
open to receive those yet to come in
from the out-of-town secretaries.
The arrangements for the other fea-
lures of the Fair are going ahead in
good shape. President Blattner last
night announced that there will be
more concessions and shows of all
kinds than last year. Already the
same number concessions and shows
have been booked, and the promsie OF
exhibits is splendid.
The excellent crops that have beer
harvested in this part of the State
make fine line of exhibits assured.
