CONFAB ABOUT LOUISVILLE DATES. Cincinnati, O., July 27. Matt J. Winn came here today from Louisville to confer with Secretary John Hachmeister, of Douglas Park, relative to the division of dates for fall racing at the Louisville tracks. The conference produced nothing definite. "Of course," said Mr. Winn, "the closing of Lnlonia-will in a measure determine when racing will begin at the Falls City. Personally, I would like to see the racing started about September 1 for a period of thirty days, fifteen to each track. To me It matters little whether Churchill Downs begins first or last. Any arrangements that suit the Douglas Park management will suit me. If they want to race longer than fifteen days It will meet my approval and we could alternate every two weeks." A request for an extension of the racing here will be presented to the Kentucky Racing Com-mision sometime next week. The length of the proposed extension has not been determined yet.
