j . GLOAMING WINS PURSE FOR R. T. WILSON. Montpelier Stables Entry Runs First and Third . in Principal Race of Day at Pimlico. j Baltimore, Md., November C The Montpelier Stable furnished the winner and also the third horse in the principal race of the afternoon at Pimlico. Gloaming by Star Shoot Autumn Leaves, won by a short neck lrom Eagle, formerly iu the same stable, with Sarsenet, the other Montpelier eutry third, and Protector a head away, fourth. It was the best finish of the meeting. Protector was a strong choice and gave encouragement to his supporters by taking an early lead and retaining it to the furlong post, where Gloaming, Sarsenet and Eagle closed with a rush. They pinned Protector on the rail, but he was -tiring at the time and had no excuses. Sarsenet suffered more from the closing in than the others and probably would have won with a clear course. Old Besom finally won a purse for P. S. P. Randolph, but he just did get home, a nose 111 advance of Delaney. Besom was the pacemaker all the .way, but tired rapidly at the end. After many attempts Capt. P. M. Walkers Afterglow, .which has been running just well enough in his. races to encourage his backers the next time, won the fifth, a mile and seventy yards selling handicap. Undercover was the leader until the last fifty yards, where Afterglow, after working his way up through the field, came along on the outside and scored by a neck, going away.
