Third Heat.

When Nelson mounted the sulky for the
third heat, he was greeted with applause
such as ought to have made him feel thor
oughly at home among his friends. Inc
grey horse also had his share OF attentlon,so
that honors were easy, until the start. The
start was considerably delayed, five
times they scored, and five times the bell
rang. Alcryon was the cause Of this un-
seemly delay, for just as regularly as he
came to the wire just so regularly he came
down four feet In the air. On the fifth scor-
ing Pilots bit came out OF his mouth and
haul up for repairs was necessary. After
the Knox's harness was patched up, and the
trotters started again, they scored twice, AL
cryon. either from accident or design, COM
ing in on the run both times. The last time
he threw toe-weight. which delayed things
again. At last they were of, four abreast,
Junemont trailing. They trotted well to the
first turn, when the grey went into the air,
and lost second place, giving way to Pilot
Knox. He came down again, however, and
recovered his place. A fine running race
took place on the back stretch between Gran
by and Junemont, but it was little noticed,
the interest centering on the leaders. Mel
son kept ahead all the way, although the
grey gained on him until they were almost
neck and neck at the three quarter pole,
when Nelson called on his horse to show
what he was made of, and the horse re-
sponded nobly. From that point to the end
Of the race, he did nothing but widen the
opening, while Alcryon, beaten at last, went
all to pieces, and came in trailing far behind.

LONDON, September 23.-Mr. Balfour has

letter he says: Though / desire to take
steps to promote higher university education
for Catholics, foundation endowment for
the proposed university has never been in
contemplation by the government. Such an
endowment is not, in my opinion, necessary.
Before passing judgment upon the supposed
plans of the government the public ought to
suspend an expression of opinion until the

Nelson is bay stallion, owned by G. III.
Nelson Of Waterville, Me-, and foaled in
1878. His sire was Young Rolfe, 2.214, and
his dam, Gretchen, by Gideon, son of Rys-
dyk's Hambletonian. He Is born trotter.
He got record of ESQ when two-year-old
As a three-year-old he made record of g.
264 on half mile track, and was the first
three-year-old to get so low a record on a
half mile ring. When FIVE years old. after a
season in the stud, he got a record of 2.211
at the New England Breeders meet
ing. His first appearance this year
was at Lancaster N. H., July
4, in the free-for-all, which
he won with the greatest ease. He next
started at Mystic Park, scoring another vic
tory in three straight heats; time, 2 21t
2.173, 2 164. At Buffalo he was again victori-
Gus, winning in short order; time, 2.15, 2.174,
2.15, trotting the last half of the third heat
in 1.e64. His next appearance, and the last
up to tOday's race, was in the $4,000 guaran-
teed race at Charter Oak Park, Hartford,
August 2Sth, where he won the first heat in
2 lat, but lost the race to Alcryon, evidently
through lack of condition. He is a pure
gated, leyel-headed trotter, and has never
yet been known to make break after get
