WINNERS PICKED
THEIR WAY AT PIMLICO

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. November 5.-A strip
of good going on the extreme outside
and deep mud In the middle of the
stretch had much to do with determin-
ing the results at Pimlico yesterday.
With the exception Of the second race.
every winner came up on the outside
In the stretch. Botanist was the ex-
ception- He took the middle Of the
track and reveled in the going. Ok
ford. on the outside. made up some
ground on the leader. but Botanlst was
under wraps and was never let down.
Mr.. McIaughlin's iron gray horse ran
creditable race. considering his recent
attack of fever: and has evidenuy ieily
recovered. Oxford likes a longer dis
tance. however. and should make q
good showing his next start =
Octoic was hot tip in the third
race, and when to 1 was offered by
the bookies 1t was eagerly taken: and
at post time the price had been ham
mered down to 2h and B. The colt had
no excuses. but the best he could do
was third. Filbert. the winner. oltgam-
ing him at the end.
There were no scratches in the Great
er Baltimore steeplechase. nine horses
going to the post. Pioneer was made
favorite at to 1. but was not fancied
by the knowing ones. and the price
closed favorite at to 1, and 1t looked
as If he would win off by himself. TAX
Ing the lead at the start and hokdlhs
it till the last jump Merrymaker got
and managed to get up In time to
beat Hayman by two lengths. Lida
Woodlands, with Mr.. Taylor up, came
along In time to take third money.
The most exciting finish OF the Day
Lackaye and High Jumper were SO close
together at the end that blanket
would have covered the three horses.
Westover managed to poke his nose IN
front in the last jump. Seven races
are scheduled for today. and this should
be the best card of the meeting.
