Big Turnout For
Racing Proqrdr0

Interest in the harness racing
program of the 1854 Ohio State
Fair, in Columbus Aug. 27-Sept. 3,
continues high with purses totalling
s48,100 and entries mounting to 430
trotters and PAGERS for the early
closing events, according to word
from the office of State Fair Man
ager Sam c.. eastman.
Although the entry list does not
come up to the 1853 record of 507
horses, it is one of the two or three
highest in State Fair history, Speed
Superintendent Frank Foster of
Delaware says.
The $4,000 Governors Cup, fea-
ture event of the week, to be raced
on Thursday, Sept. 2, Governors
Day, attracted 80 three-year-old
Ohio-owned trotters.
A total of 81 two-year-old PAGERS
are entered for the $4,000 event for
Ohio-owned horses Thursday, Sept.
2, making it the top entry for a
single race. The four filly events on
opening day, Saturday, Aug. 28,
drew LA nominations. Fourteen
star fast PAGERS are signed up to
compete in the $4,000 Buckeye Pac-
ing Derby Tuesday, Aug. 81.
Four races will be run each day
of the six-day meet, winners to re-
ceive trophies and purses, ranging
from $1,000 to $4,000 for the fea-
tured Director of Agriculture race
Wednesday, Sept. 1, and the $4,000
for the featured Governors Cup.
