As yet none of the contemplated improvements in the ItCttiug litis has been started at Churchill Downs and the general impression seems to lie that nothing in this line will be attempted until the coming fall meeting is a thins, id the past. The present accommodations, it is presumed, are deemed ade-ipiate for the meeting next fall anil then will follow six months or more in which to do the tearing down and rebuilding before the time comes for the spring Uteeting of 1911. The improvements under consideration are so extensive that a good deal of time will be required to complete them. It develops that the coining fall meeting at Churchill Dowus. if begun on Saturday, as usual, cannot open until September 4. oaring to the hold-ins of the Stale Fair at Douglas Park, scheduled to begin on Monday.

As was the ease last year, the program of the running races will be complied by Will J. Shelley, clerk of the Comae at Churchill Downs, and he will also officiate as racing secretary so far as the running events are concerned at the fair.
