at SO to 81 for the field.
First Reat-Gen. Hancock took the lead at
the word and was not headed during the
mile, and yet the driver appeared to belabor
the reins as though he feared he would shut
out the others. The balance OF the field
strung out, Mable A second and Frank Nc
Cune last and breaking wretchedly all around
the course. Time, 2;27.

to warm up their animals An excellent start
was made, but Immediately Frank McCune
went into the air and ran nearly to the quar-
ter. Hancock forged to the pole, which he
maintained easily to the finish, but broke
just before reaching the wire. He came
down at once, however, and came under the
wire an easy winner, Mabel A second and
Frank McCune last; time, 2:2SH.
Fourth Heat-It was a splendid start. The
horses were level and trOtting honestly. AS
usual, however, McCune was forced off his
feet, showing cOnclusively that ne was in toe
fast company. He ran nearly around to the
first quarter. Hancock mean while sped
away, opening up comfortable gap, Mabel
a second and the sorrel running close behind.
The positions were unchanged to the finish,
Hancock passing the mark on an easy jog;
time, 2:2S14.
