BALTIMORE. Md, October 30-Today
was the real big day at Pimlico. Ideal
weather and card of seven races, includ-
ing the Pink Coat steeplechase, the Eu-
taw handicap, the Amateur cup race.
the Maryland United Hunts purse and
the second appearance of the famous
Jack Atxin, enticed the banner crowd
of the meeting to the historic course.
1t was one of the largest outpourings OF
the racing element i'm late years, for
not only was almost every lover of thor
oughbreds i'm this city at the course. but
there was quite a delegation from WASH
ington. The talent suffered q setback.
and the books, that have been having
their ups and downs since the meeting
opened, quit big winners on the after
moons sport.
The crowd looked on the rate Of Jack
Atkin with much interest, as II was
expected the big horse would shatter the
six-furlong mark for the course, but
Atkin simply breezed home the winner,
a full second slower than his previous
effort and a second behind the track
record.
The Pink steeplechase created a lot
of attention among the local hunting
set because of two local hunters starting
only three went to the post. Village
King, owned by CORTLAND Ii. Smith of
Virginia and ridden by Mr.. Dion Kerr
Of Washington, was the favorite in the
betting and won. Though he lacked
speed, Village King was the only jumper
that stood up all the way. The pluck
and grip Of MIR. X. NJ. Taylor. Maryland's
great gentleman rider, were really the
features of the race. Though hurled from
Autumn Leafs back twice, Mr.. Taylor
finished.
AT the eighteenth jump Autumn Leaf
came a crOpper, throwing Mr.. Taylor ap-
parently on his head. He was only stun
ned. however. and got UP in time to
take Autumn Leaf over the remaining
jumps and to save the place money. Mr..
Taylor was given an ovation which has
seldom been equaled at Pimlico.
Mr.. Wright turned the trick on Mr..
Taylor i'm the Maryland United Hunts
purse, when he rode Algie home in front
of Bobby Kean, ridden by Mr.. Taylor
Bobby Kean was favorite. He was first
in the stretch. but Algie. showing lot
of speed, came from behind, and in the
drive Bobby Kean faltered, Algie winning
by length and half
In the Eutaw handicap Gretna Green,
