DIRECTUrM AND NELSON.
PORTLAND. ME. October 3.-At Rig
by Park this afternoon all admirers OF
Nelson were forced to admit that he is
no match for Directum. The contest set
tied all doubts as TO their relative superb
ority. At a little after o'clock the great
stations came on the track together.
Directum was driven by HIickok and
Horace Nelson held the reins over his
horse named after him Nelson drew the
pole. and after scoring twice got the
word on the third trial. In spite OF
breeze that blew, the race was fast from

the heat by half a length in 2:l34.
In the third heat, Directum was allowed

then Directum drew a length ahead. At
the third quarter Directum led by four
lengths, and when the wire was reached
Nelson was so far behind that his driver |
had slowed him down. and he trotted In

possible. When Directum's time for the |
last heat was announced as 20sL, there |
was great cheering. II breaks all records |
