Abstract

The six-page program for the Tuesday, August 17, 1937 Skowhegan Fair races.

The program also features ads promoting the "Revelations of 1937" review as well as other fair events. The final page of the card lists the daily programs for Wednesday through Saturday. The program also contains Guy Kendall's handwritten notes about race finishes, and changes in the field. Kendall made special note of the time set by bay colt Follow Up in the ninth race of the day, which set the new New England Track Record for 3 Year Olds Trotting with a time of 2.05.
