STALLION RECORDS BROKEN.
Portland, Ore, Oct. 3.-At Rigby Park
this evening, admirers of Nelson were
| forced to admit that he is no match for
Directum. The contest settled all doubts
as to their relative superiority. The
weather was cloudy and cold, making the
attendance rather small for so great a
race At little after 2 o'clock the two
great stations came on the track to-
gether Directum was driven by Hickok,
and Horace Nelson held the reins over
his horse, named after him.
Nelson drew the pole, and after scoring
twice, got theword on the third trial In
spite OF the breeze, the race was fast from
the veryuhrst. Nelson led at the first quar-
ter in 0:3l19, also at the half in | OBJ,
and three-quarters in :35I. with Di-
rectum right at his wheel all the way.
Then the little black stallion began to
creep up and down the home stretch
gained faster and faster, passing under
the wire a length ahead of Nelson in : 10.
This was the result looked for, it being
conceded that Directum would gain on
the home stretch.
The second heat was slower but rather
better than the first. Nelson closed up
at the first quarter and headed Directum
on the second quarter. From there to
the home stretch the two handsome
horses came around as if they were har-
messed abreast, so nearly even were they
Near the wire Directum shot ahead and
won by half length in 2:l3A.
In the third heat Directum was allowed
to show what he could do Nelson was
at his wheel the first half Of the heat
but 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 on a mere amble, as thoroughly
beaten as possible. When Directum S
time for this last heat was announced as
2:0Sll there was great cheering
This breaks all records for stallion trot-
ting in a race.
