GRAND RAPIDS (Mich.), Oct S.-Twenty
thousand people witnessed the Nelson
Allerton race to-day for a purse ofSl0,0O0.
The weather was milder than yesterday,
but still chilly enough to preclude any
hope of record breaking. The sky was
overcast, and once or twice a few drops of
rain fell. The throng gave Nelson a lit
tie the best OF the applause when the two
stations appeared, but Allerton was
favorite in the pools. Both horses We're
driven by their owners.
Allerton coquetted in scoring, but the
animals got away in beautiful style
finally, with Nelson closely hugging the
pole a head in advance. The pace was sort
that kills from the start. The quarter was
made in 80, with Nelson a length in adj
vance. AllertOn gained a length at the
three-quarters, but just as they swung
into the stretch he went off his feet for an
instant and Nelson won the heat in 2:13
by an open length. The crowd nearly
went crazy over the result, but the book
makers still retained Allerton rs lavorite
In the second heat the relative positions
of the animals to the three-quarter post
was nearly repetition of the first En-
tering the home-stretch Nelson Swerved
toward the middle of the course and fall
tered for moment. AllertOn took adj
vantage of this and finished by half q
length in 2:l44.
In the third heat Nelson led as before
ct the back k-stretch, Allerton being half a
dozen lengths behind. Down the stretch
he pulled up even with Nelson by phe-
nomenal burst of speed. All efforts of
Nelson's driver to increase that animals
speed Were of no avail, and Allerton won
easily by an open length in 2:i5.
In the fourth heat both drivers held
their horses in check, they being head by
head all the way to the home-Stretch
when Allerton passed the grand stand
leading by an open length, winning the
heat and race in 2:l64.
In another attack of gOod-natured in
sanity the immense crowd broke through
the fence and surrounded Allerton, lit
orally covering the stallion and driver
with flowers.
The best time was 2:13.
