The Meeting at Pimlico.-The Maryland
Jockey Club has issued the book OF its fall
meeting at Pimlico, October % to November 3,
inclusive.
The cover page shows a lifelike picture of
the famous four-miler Glenmore, that laid
the foundations of the fortunes of the veteran
horseman, William Jennings, OF Mt. Wash
ington. Baltimore county.
In all there will be fourteen days of racing
at the hilltop track and it is safe to say that
the character of the sport will be In keeping
with the reputation of the club.
On the first day-Saturday, October 23-the
features are the Hotel Herman purse for 3-year-
olds and upward the Inaugural Steeplechase
and the Baltimore Club Cup for gentlemen
riders at six furlongs.
One of the principal events of the meeting is
the revival of the renowned Bowie Stakes, at
two miles for 3-year-ods and upwards. 10
this stake 50 600 is added, together with
piece of plate, valued at $780, donated by the
Jockey Club of New York. The old Bowie
Stakes was at four-m heats, and sometimes,
as in 1878 1879 and 1882, it took three heats to
decide the contest. The winners in these years
were Bush whacker Glenmore and BUSH
whacker again.
The reduction of the distance to two miles is
a wise act on the part of the Maryland Jockey
| Club, as few first-cass horses outside OF the
| hunt clubs, can get four miles nowadays,
race at the shorter distance should bring out
some of the best in training.
