THE BALCH STALLION RACE. Yesterdays Great Ten Thousand Dol lar Race at Boston Witnessed by Eff teen Thousand People-The Maine Stallion Nelson Wins the Race In Three Straight Heats-A Good Day, a
 Fast Track and some Good Going Another Race Arranged Between Nell son and AlcryOn.
 BOSTON, Sept. 23.-The Baloh stallion race, which has twice been postponed on account of rain, was finally trotted at Beacon Park this afternoon. The day was nearly perfect and the track was in excellent condition, al- though not at its best. Fully 15,000 people were upon the grounds. Nelson won the race in three straight heats.
 The Maine stallion was strong favorite, especially with the Maine contingent, which came in full force, 1t being said that no less than 2,00O were present from that State. Bookmakers were kept busy and before the race offered $100 for Nelson to $SO for Alcry- on and $16 for the field. There was an under current of opinion that Nelson would in some way be thrown down and pools were conse- quently active. Budd Doble was to drive the Maine stallion, but at the last moment 1t WRS auuOuucou tuds V. d. NelSOn, QlS owner, would occupy the seat. This change occasioned much comment, mostly unfavora- ble, as it added thirty-fve pounds to the weight which Nelson would have to carry, and many believed that such @ handi- cap would prove disastrous. But Nelson fairly won. Alcryon, the blind Kentucky stallion, who gave Nelson his first defeat at Hartford had many friends, and his fine &C., tion as be passed and ..re-passed the grand 1Iol marks. The other starters were: Chestnut stallion Junemont, driven by Jimmy Golden, with record of 2:182@; Granby, driven by Grit Davis, with @ record of 2:19L, and Pilot Knox, with Jockey Bowen up, record 2:19A.
 The Maine stallion may be said to have had an easy victory, the closest race being in the last heat, when he was overtaken and nearly passed by Alcryon, but the latter quickly found he had no business there, and Nelson was not headed throughout the three heats. In drawing for positions Alcryon secured the pole, with Pilot Knox second, Nelson third, Granby fourth and Junemont on the outside. After seven unsuccessful attempts ! to make start in the first heat Alcryon lost 1 boot, which caused still further delay. Twice more they came to the wire and were sent back. Then all came down we'll together with Alcryon slightly in the lead. At the | quarter Alcryon broke and Nelson quickly | jumped into the gap, with Alcryon second, Pilot Knox third, Granby fourth and June- ! mont last. Nelson increased his lead to three lengths at the half mile, Alcryon seo- ond, with Pilot Knox tapping his wheel. Al- 1 cryon crawled up gradually. and at the three. | quarter had gained one length on Nelson, but the relative positions of all remained the same. Down the home stretch Alcryon struggled hard to overtake Nelson, but the latter held his own and won by two lengths. Junemont and Pilot Knox had pretty race for third place, but the latter proved success ful. with Granby in the rear. Time, 2:181s
 Nelson was not headed in the second heat. Around past the half mile post he led the field by two lengths, with Alcryon next, June, mont third, Pilot Knox fourth and Granby In the rear. Down the stretch Nelson kept his advance of two lengths over Alcryon with Junemont third, Granby fourth, Pilot Knox fifth, and the finish wes made in that position. Time, 2:17L.
 Before the third heat scarcely anyone could be found to bet against Nelson. After six scorings the horses were sent away and Nell son shot away to the front, while Alcryon went up in the air but quickly recovered holding second place at the quarter, three lengths behind Nelson. Pilot Knox was fast pulling up to Aloryon's head, followed by Granby and Junemont: Alcryon was rapidly closing on Nelson and iI II separated them. At the three-quarte1 ! Nelson and Alcryon were neck -and-neok and the finish bid fair to be very close, wher suddenly Nelson strengthened out and shot ahead like a rocket, while Alcryon again went off his feet and fell so far behind that 1t seemed ss though he would be distanced Pilot Knox came into second place witt Junemont third. Graby was fourth. In this order they passed under the wire, Nel son winning by eight or ten lengths, while Alcyron barely saved being distanced. Time l2;1S1.
 Al the end of the race Nelson and hi, owner received @ perfect ovation and flora collar and names adorned the fortunate stall lion as he was led from the track. Nelso I will make an attempt Thursday at Mystic Park to beat his record.
