Monike Runs First in Steeplechase
Race at Pimico Track.
BY GEORGE B. NORRIS. :

~ 0@SAN1H D. o1Oflh1S-
Pimlico Race Track, Nd. May 1.-The
track here today was a sea Of mud and
favorites Jared badly as a result. Acct
dents were numerous during the after
moons sport. Distant Shore and sharp
shooter both fell in the steepIechase,
but luckily both riders escaped serious
injuries.
Then Velour In the third race,
while laying in a contendlng position,
stepped into a hole and went to the
ground. unseating her rider. Both the
horse and rider escaped injury.
In the steeplechase, the second num-
Der, Monfhe, ridden by his owner, Mr..
Humphrey, got home first, paying Sis
for 81 ticket 1t was a very lucky
win, as both Distant Shore and
Sharpshooter were distinctly the con-
tenders up to the accident,
The best finish Of the season came
in the .2-year-old race, the fourth num-
Der, when four horses finished noses
apart. The decision went to Plancy,
but 1t must be said that Lady Eileen
was pounds the best as she refused to
break and was as good as left st the
post. Sine made up an immense gap and
was only beaten the shortest kind 81 a
margin.
Crimper. Raj PARIS $1,000 horse, made
good today when he won the sixth num-
ber. He was very lucky in so doing,
as Kentucky Boy was away badly and
made up a lot of ground and would
have won with a better break
G. NJ. Miller accounted for the clos
ing number when he came on from be-
hind to win going away High Horse
tried to make a runaway affair Of it,
but weakened badly in the last sixteenth
and finished out of the money.
The talent will probably experience a
bad time picking winners today, as the
track is a sea of mud, and when the last
was run # was still raining hard. It
will be a day for mudlarks strictly.
