BALTIMORE, Nov. 2.-Joseph E.
Widener's old bay gelding Duettiste,
cleverly ridden by D. Byers, won the
Manly Memorial Steeplechase Handi-
cap, with $4,000 added. the most
priced classic of Eastern racing for the
timber toppers and the feature of the
Election Day program at the Pimlico
track this afternoon.
Duettstes victory was most i'm
pressive one. Despite the crushing i'm
post of 172 pounds the aged fencer took
the obstacles as if he had but a
feather on his back and had so much in
reserve that he came away from a high
two and a half miles to win by ten
lengths. Duettiste won despite re-
peated interference on the part of the
Greentree Stables Debadou before the
latter finally fell. Driving hard to save
the place, Highland Light dropped into
second money, half length in front
of Mnata. The latter got up just in
time to nose out Blighty II from third
prize.
In winning the great jumping classic
Duettlste undoubtedly ran the best
race Of his career. 1t was only his
superior fencing ability and the skill
full horsemanship of Byers that savea
the gelding from cropper because Of
expected from such large field as thir-
teen, there was a great deal of crowd
ing at the fences in the early part of
the race. No less than six of the thir-
teen either went down or lost riders at
some stage Of the race; only seven Of
the big field finished
Byers rated Duettiste off the early
pace, which was made by George W.
Lofts Sweepment. This one, which has
a remarkable turn of foot was crowded
out to an early lead and after two
turns of the field had opened u gap Of
fifteen lengths or more. There Sweep
ment came a cropper with Campbell.
