Baltimore. Nov. S.-Racing closed IN
Maryland to-day with the best pro-
gramme that the association had ever
offered and the running Of the Bowie
Cup, the Steeplechase. and the Jack At
kin record event was vastly pleasing TO
one OF the biggest crowds seen az the
course.
Fitz Herbert won over the two-mile
course. and he made a new American rec
ord for the distance. With 105 pounds up.
Fitz Herbert ran in 3:25 IS, which cut
the mark made by Judge Denny in Cali
fOrnia some years ago.
There was no mistaking the fact that
Fitz Herbert was a great big feature OF
the closing day at Pimlico. Having won
his race on Saturday. with 13l pounds Up,
and IN the Bowie Cup with 105, Il WAS
useless 10 attempt 10 find anything 20
beat him. no one supposed that he
would be beaten and he gaIloped all the
way in front
GaIIOps Home Alone.
The race proved the unquestiOnable
superiority OF Fitz Herbert, for he gal
loped home half a dozen lengths in
front The majority Of the horsemen
here copcede that he IS the best in the
country.
Superstition ran so good a second to
Fitz Herbert in the Bowie Cup as 10
mark him one Of the clever landscapes
IN the country. Superstition went along
with FItz Herbert IN the Bowie Cup IN
most ambitious manner he did not stop.
as many persons supposed he would. He
hung on 10 FitZ Herbert not only for the
mile and a half. but right down into the
stretch, so that Superstition made many
friends by his race.
The running Of the race was Fitz Her
bert from start 10 finish. and there was
no real contention. GIr HiIdreth's grand
colt looked in the fttest possible con-
dition, and IN the paddock ne held g court
all of his own. Shilling rode again, and
he only had 70 sit in the saddle, for Fitz
Herbert was quite equal 10 al that was
expected Of him.
