“To the average fairgoer, a county fair means horse racing. In this picture of the second heat of the 2:14 pace Tuesday afternoon, most of the atmosphere of the Champaign county fair has been caught. The tents in the background house part of the 140 harness horses. These pacers are shown coming down the stretch.”
