led to the quarter, but Nelson passed him
on the upper turn. BeaconsfieId took sec
ond place in the homestretch, but Nelson
won handily by three open lengths in 1879,

stretch was very exciting, Nelson and Bea-
consfield apparently neck and neck The
judges deliberated quite while, and final
ly gave the heat to Beaconsheld. The spec
tators hooted the decision, as it was appa-
rent from the reporters and grand stands
