the United States to Nicaragua fell of from Ill 27O O73

Hal Pointer-Direct Race.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug. l2-
Nine thousand people were present
at the Hal Pointer-Direct race yes
terday. Betting was twenty-five to
six in favor of Hal Pointer, but Di-
rect captured all hearts, if not all
pocketbooks, and received more ap.
plause than his swift competitor
AT 8 o'clock the two horses came
down the stretch. neck and neck, and
as they passed under the wirePoint-
er had the pole. They kept their
positions to the turn, when Geers
pulled Pointer u length ahead. At
the half Starr brought Direct close
on to the flank of the gelding. Direct
could not stand the pace, and Poin-
ter steadily drew away until he
gained a length at the last turn, and
a half, in 200.
The horses started in the second
heat with Direct at Pointers girth,
and went as If tied together for the
first quarter, then Pointer drew away
agaiu, but on the back stretch Direct
caught up. At the half Pointer
spurted, leaving Direct again, at the
head of the stretch, going gamely
and fast, but could not lessen the dis
lance, and the finish was made with
Direct length behind. Time, 2:ll4.
In the third heat Direct went full
tilt to the first quarter,a then very
visibly sulked and followed Pointer
around the mile with devil-may-
care expression two lengths behind.
A hundred yards from the wire he
gave up absolutely in disgust, and
logged in three lengths and half
behind the victor. Time, 2:l3I.
Then Nancy Hanks, in race
against time made mile in 300.
