by the fact that last year
nine million spectators attended harness racing programs at 400 county fair
tracks.

in Pennsylvania over, what
horsemen themselves h a v e
stated "one of the fastest
half-mile tracks in the East".
The richest stake events in
t he history of the Bloomsburg
Fair, where for more than a
decade the b e s t two-andthree-year old standard
breds have been competing,
are assured for the 1961 race
meet.
Maynard P. Mordan, President of the Fair Association
and Director of the Stake
Races, has indicated that all
the top two-and-three-yearolds are eligible to compete
for the $90,000.00 in this
year's race purses.
Racing will be held each
afternoon, Tuesday through
Friday, and in addition vaudeville acts will be presented
