There are many disinterested spectators OF the
nrSt cup race who were aStoniShed TO the award
made against Mr. Hanna They argue that Mr.
Hanna had taken the lead at exactly the right time
entering the last lap that he evidently had the
race perfectly In hand and that he at least two
lengths ahead OF Mr. Borden when the latter fell
Mr.. Hanna did not know a claim had been entered
against him until after the decision was publicly
announced He says he could not run race more
fairly than he did that one and that he did vio-
late the technical rule as alleged. He not only had
not taken the inside, but was near the middle OF
the track, and did not intend TO take the pole until
the final squirt on the south stretch. He appreci-
ates, however, all the difficulties with which the
Judges had to deal, and does not make any COM
plaint against them.
