RACING STILL GREAT SPORT

Sedalia, Mo., Sept. 4.—Racing may have been the ancient sport of kings and if all reports are true it was but with the decline of kings, they being a sort of drag on the open market these days, one need not think that their ancient sport has gone glimmering along with the crowns that have been knocked off their heads. One will only have to secure a seat in the grandstand at the Missouri State Fair, September 22 to 29, to learn that racing is as popular at the Missouri State Fair as it ever was and that the people like it yet, and it is now the sport of the democracy. The State Fair race track is the finest in the West. The automobile races are run on the same track that is used for the race horse speed events.
