N DISQUALIFICATION AT BALTIMORE. Notre Knip Is Set Back In Steeplechase for Fouling Lord Badge. Baltimore, Md., November 2. Racing was carried v on at Pimlico this afternoon under most discouraging conditions. A cold, driving rain fell all the while, sending everybody to cover and for a part of the lime a heavy fog settled down, shutting out all view of the races except at the finish. The track was a sea of slop. The Iimlico Autumn Steeplechase and the Carrollton Cup for gentlemen riders were the. features of a good card. The Cup brought out the pick of the gentlemen riders of this section and created much interest. Unfortunately, however, the event was marred by a disqualification. When the barrier went up in this race, Herman Johnson went to the front and held on to the stretch. Here Mr. Taylor brought Notre Knip up and took the lead and, at the sixteenth post Lord Badge challenged, and when Mr. Taylor went to the whip, Notre Knip swerved-over in front of Lord Badge. Foul was claimed and allowed. The steeplechase furnished a fine race through the field. In the last turn of the field Bersl went to the front and, sailing along, struck the Hat in the lead. Here Henderson brought up Navajo up and, after a little urging, he shook off Bersi and came home an easy winner. Bob Murphy, the tip, was always outrun. Guardian 11 ran a good race, but the distance proved too far for him. In the Kutaw House Handicap, El Dorado found the -going partly to bis liking, and splashed along In front all the way. Botanist, who is in good form just" at present, found a soft spdt in the first race and won with plenty In reserve. The Smlthsoh following attempted to pull off another good thing with Neoskaleeta in the last race. The filly ran an excellent race, but Lally under the conditions was too good for her.
