PLAN BIG. RACES
More Than $4,000 VIII Be Of
fered at 1920 Fair.
There VIII Be a $4,000 Event
Every Day.
RAISE PURSE MONEY HERE
Bankers, Manufacturers and
Retailers VIII Do 1t.
Make Topeka Racing Center of
the West.
RAISE PURSE MONEY HERE

Real horse races are in store for
Topeka at the Kansas Free fair of
1920. The famous Suburban handi-
cap of Sheepshead Bay will have its
rival on the Topeka race course.
Purses totalling at least $4,000 will
be hung up by public spirited citizens
of Topeka for special events in the
horse races next year. Six thousand
dollars of this will be up for a special
contest each day-and the $4,000 daily
purse will be for one event only. The
money usually spent by the Fair as
ISOLATION for purse races will be used
in the regular way. The big purses
the ones which will make Topeka the
race center of the west-will be for
one feature event each day.
Bankers to Raise Purse.
]. r. Burrow has volunteered to
raise a purse of $4,000 among the
bankers of Topeka to be hung up as
a purse in a fast harness event to be
known as the Bankers Futurity."
Richard F. Hodgins will raise $4,000
among the manufacturers of Topeka
to be the purse offered in a great
Manufacturers Stake race.
Charles L. Mitchell will raise $4,000
among the retail merchants of To-
peka to be hung up for a prize in a
Merchants Handicap"
The $4,000 to be hung up for the
big event for the fourth day of horse
racing at the 1920 fair has not yet
been promised-but it is thought that
there are plenty of men in Topeka
who will volunteer to raise this sum.
1t has been suggested that the last
81, 900 purse be raised among the pro-
fessional men of the city to be used
in a big feature running event which
would make Topeka the running horse
mecca of the middle west.
Big Western Event.
Kentucky has the original American
Derby and every year the finest blue
blooded runners in America contest
ban Handicap, and Latonia has its
big feature. There is no reason why
Kansas should not be the home of the
greatest running event of the west,
THE Profession"
And now that the horse racing game
Is receiving a boost of this kind, the
automobile men are beginning to stir
around and exhibit an ambition to give
Topeka some real auto raceS-give To-
peka races which will really be holly
contested by drivers competing from
an open entry list.
Plan zoe Mile Event.
There Is some agitation already
afoot looking to the offering of a purse
of at least $4,000 for a hundred mile
event to be run In Topeka next year
1T the fair. Under the present tenta-
tive plan this race would be run in
two fifty-mile heats-one each day of
the last two of the 1920 fair.
These purses, together with the big
new double deck steel grandstand
would do much towards making To-
peka the horse and motor racing CEN
ter of at least half a dozen states
Long may the promoters and boost
ers of the idea wavel
