The next, the special pacing race, seemed
to be the one upon which ali interest was
centered. The running races had created
but little interest-in fact, they were mostly
one-sided. The starters were Nevada. Po-
cahontas and Fred Alderman Pools

hOntas third. Pools now sold, Nevada SO

sold: Ackerman 500, Pocahontas S45,
Nevada $50 80. The horses got a good
send off for the fourth heat, Alderman
leading from the score. The race from the
half to the score between Nevada and
Alderman was the most exciting of the
day, the horses passing under the wire nose
and nose, and the judges decided that it
was dead heat. The greatest excitement
prevailed upon the track after this heat,
and there was a scramble for the pool-box,
many thinking that Pocahontas had STAY
ing qualities to finish, and that Nevada
could beat Alderman. The quarter was
made in 364, the half in 1:3S, and the mile
in 2:278. Pools now sold Alderman $40.
