| criticism. The three-minute trotting event
was interesting, it requiring five heats to
settle the question of supremacy, but the
1920 trot, in which the struggle for first
money lay between General Harrison and
| First Call, was one of the hardest struggles
that has been seen Oh the course. 1t took
| six heats to settle it. Out of the six there
were two dead heats. but one of them was
| given to Hancock, which placed him on an
even footing with First Call, who won the
| race in the sixth heat in splendid style.
Hancock never showed up to better advan-
| tage than he did yesterday, but he went Off
his feet at critical points and through this
characteristic lost the race. Bruno Beaupre
drove his team of PAGERS against 2:3O, but
Flora P'S mate was too slow and he only
succeeded in making the mile in 1881. The
two-mile running race was tame.
