FINE FUTURE AT LATONIA Rich Stake Races Provided for the Near-By Meeting Beginning Next Saturday. COVINGTON, Ky., August 29. All of 1921.sh00,000, possibly as much as .1921.sh30,000. will be distributed among the horsemen who will partcipate iu the seasoi of fall racing the Kentucky Jockey Club will inaugurate at the picturesque Latonia course next Saturday. There will be forty-seven days of racing this season thirty-one at Latonia, ten at Louisville, six at Lexington. But the season will begin upward of a fortnight earlier than usual and the order of the meetings will be changed. Imlcr the old scheme Lexington led off, with Louisville and Latonia following. Last year Lexington started the sport going, and the Latonia and Louisville meetings came next in order. This year Latonia will start witli her thirty-one days. Louisville will follow the long meeting and Lexington will wind up the Blue Grass racing year toward the end of October. Under this arrangement racing will not be prolonged into the chill weather of the first fortnight of November. The change the Kentucky Jockey Club, of which former United States Senator Johnson N. Camden is president, Colonel Matt J. Winn vice-president and general manager and Sherman Goodpaster secretary, is confident will meet with the approval of patrons of Kentucky racing, native sons of Kentucky and Ohio cities and visitors from afar alike. In the course of the last five or six years Kentucky racing lias built up a bis patronage derived from cities in remote parts of the United States and Canada. These supiHirters of the sport like to get through with their racing reasonably early so as to be able to return home iu November and lay in the winters coal and wood.
