tween erents were of tbe proper du
ration and the starters brought the
horses to tbe 'post and got them off
with a minimum of delay. Good racM
and an authentic holiday atmosphere
made the afternoon wortny * of the
promises made by Camden in its pub
licity.
Sports editors of the large dallisis
of the midsouth declared that the
publicity for thu Camden show was
greater this year than in any preyious
eTcnts of the kind here, so far as
their respectlre pspefs are con
cerned.
We hare been frequently asked
why the Carolina cup races are' al-
ways held on a Saturday. It. seems to
be the general oplniou* of most of
these curloas folks that Saturday Is
the worst day of the week from the
general public standpoint as all busi
ness houses are open tor the usual
Saturday rush of t^e.'
We were informed ssTsral years
ago that the main reason for the Sat
urday date was that horse race en
thuslasts from New York knd other
large cities could board a.trala Ftb
'day night and reach Caumra Satur
day morning, attend the races and
the usual festlTities that followed sad
then get back home in time to be at
their desks Monday morning. That's
a Tsry god reason and was no doubt
applicable when Camden had the
Kirkwood, Hobkirk and Court Inn to
handle these rlsitors. It would not
htare applied this year because the
Court Inn. the only remaining tourist
hotel here now waT^ booked full for
the^ season. -
