punched we'll together at the quarter,
Hanlan leading about four lengths and
pulling his regulation stroke Of 80. AT
the half mile his lead had increased to
seven lengths, with Kennedy second and
McKean and Plaisted close together.
At the turn Hanlan swept around his
flag fully eight lengths ahead. The
others were in the following order
Kennedy, Mexican and Plaisted together;
Ten Eynck, Riley and Luther last. Al.

There was desperate struggle for the

Kennedy sweeping along neck and neck,
