END OE THE STATE FAIR. RACING IN LOUISVILLE WILL SHIFT TO DOUGLAS PARK TOMORROW. Dalesman Wins Race for Gentlemen Riders and :Mr, Hancock Gets Trophy Trainer Phillips Returns from the East. Louisville, Ky., September 22. The Kentucky; State Fair closed, this afternoon. Monday the racing will shift to Douglas Park for six days. During the coming week Churchill Downs will be put in shape for the meeting of eighteen days which Is to open October 1. There Is much to be done. The grounds are badly cut up after the week-of agricultural and mechanical exhibitions. Barring the fact that the ring was syndicated and that tho number of races was curtailed, the racing of tho week differed little from what this circuit has known all summer. W. E. Applegate, who had tho betting privileges, made some money, but not an ox-travagant sum. He had to pay all of the purses and his daily expense was in excess of ,000. Todays offering included a race at one mile with gentlemaa riders up. A sliver cup went to the successful jockey. Dalesman proved the best and won as hla rider, Mr. Hancock, pleased. William Phillips, trainer for Fred Cook, has re-turned from. New York in advance of ten horses owned by his employer. Phillips says Nlfo, the good three-year-old, broke down while in the east and will be retired on his arrival. Of Minnie Adams he said: "The filly never appeared., better bodily in all her career, but she docs not seem to have a bit of speed anymore." When asked as to the loss that Fred Cook Is reported to have sustained by the defeat of Jack Shine, he said: "Cook did not lose over 00 by the colts defeat and the report that he bet 5,000 Is pure nonsense. As to the report that the stewards are investigating-the race I know nothing of. They did not question me about the race." Phillips says jockey Nicol will go from Toronto to Chicago and take a long rest. H. McCarrens Glen Roy, by Glenhelm Kruda, was awarded first prize in the thoroughbred class for two-year-olds over a number of competitors. G. J. Longs colts carried off all the prizes In the yearling class and the same owners weanlings had a walkover in their class. Manager Hachmeistcr said today that many improvements have been made at Douglas Park during the week. The backstretch fence which gave such a glaring reflection as to almost blind one has been painted a slate color and the concrete pavement in front of the grandstand has been painted green.
