TRENTON FAIR RACES.
Good Sport Furnished in Opening Har-
ness Horse Meet.

TRENTON, Oct. 2.-Three well-contested
races made up the opening program of
light harness horse events which are held
annually in connection with the Interstate

each race was the largest seen at Tren-
ton jim many years, due to the efforts of

in straight heats all were fought keenly
from wire to wire.
In the 2:1S class trotting race, a field of
ten answered the call of Starter Walkers
bell. Klondike, the speedy bay son of
Quartermaster, from New York, won the
event in good shape. After the opening
heat he was never headed, Immediately
after the race, Klondike was purchased
by Thomas Sharkey, the w~ell-known New
York city pugilist, who will have him cam
paigned this fall. KlondilSe has known
ability and should prove a great race horse
for his new owner.
Miss Peeler was out for the 2:13 pace,
and. although pitted against a high-class
field Of sidewheelers, she made good in
straight heats, apparently winner with
ease, in good time. considering the sandy,
cuppy condition Of the track Nut Bel
should a made a much better showing,
but certainly did not like the soft footing.
Mary Dell paced a good race, being a close
second in the final heat.
Jaro repeated his victory of last week
at Mount Holly, where he won the 2:30
class trot in straight heats. The speedy
san of Arion had little difficulty in landing
