NASHVILLE Crenn.) Oct. 49, The track
was trifle heavy. 1t was nearly o'clock
before Nancy Hanks appeared for tilt
against time, and the atmosphere was
raw and damp. Under the conditions
the judges placed 2:06 as the best time that
could be made, but once more the little
mare was equal to au unexpected per-
formance, going away at the first attempt.
The quarter was reached in 0:3l3, the half
mile in 1:O24, and then Doble gave her
free rein, covering the third quarter in
0:30i; she was at the pole in 1924. The
heavy footing and raw air now began to
have an inevitable effect, and she finished
the mile strong and true in 2:05. All
things considered it was the greatest per-
formance OF her career.
