Baltimore. Nov. 3.-Racing surely holds
its own here in Maryland. To-day with
a brilliant autumn afternoon for any
sort Of outdoor sport, and by far the
best programme OF the meeting in strictly
e racing way. Pimlico course was alive
with sparkling features, which kept the
large attendance Of distinction on edge
throughout the running Of the seven
races.
II was big day for the Plmlico course
IN every way. Records were broken. the
Glenmore Steeplechase had superior in
terest, the Pimlico Fall Handicap, won
by the smart outsider. Superstition, was
anybody's race at the weights. the Pa
tapsco Hunt Purse. at two miles on the
fat. was well enough on account Of
the distance and the race was won by
High Private and lost by Stanley Fay.
and was one OF the most interesting Of
the meeting.
Superstition All the Way.
Superstition ran clever race TO win
the Pimlico FAN Handicap He led from
start TO finish OF the mile and a half
broke his own previous record Of the
course. made last year. which was 2:35 3-5
and he was scarcely extended at any
part of the running.
Superstition Is at his best now without
any doubt. and is under the handling Of
Woods Garth His recent form here
has been good. and only poor riding IN
his last start kept him so far from the
winning position 10 was all we'll enough
20 throw that race out. bat to-day Super
stition was meeting about the best handi-
cap horses down here. and he did not
have much advantage in weight. Blue
Book. Pins and Needles. Gretna Green.
Juggler and Cave Album. all good and
tit. were in with Superstition, and the
winner was the extreme outsider except
Terah, so badly can q smart lot Of racing
men be mistaken In Judgment Of horses
and the manner in which race may be
run.
Superstition. a front runner always,
went to that desirable position In the
race early and there he stayed. lie sim
ply outran everything. and also oUtstayed
the others over the mile and half Blue
book and Pins and Needles were equal
choices at 20 I. and they ran well. but
not good enough for Superstition
