Yesterdays programme of trottfng races
at the Oakland track, given by the Golden
Gate Fair Association. attracted but a small
attendance. OF the three events set for de-
cision the first two were won in professional
style by the two strong favorites, Lynette
and Lady Wells, who greatly outclassed their
company. The third race, however, spe-
cial for lower class of horses-proved most
interesting and amply repaid those who
waited to the late hour at which the last
but not the decisive heat was trotted. A
gamer fnisher in his class than Prince B
has not been seen for many day, and de-
spite his not having crack pilot behind
him he won his last heat against one of the
finest reinsmeu in The world by sheer pluck.
1t was the best contest that has so far been
witnessed on the circuit.

THE HAWTHORNE PURSE.
Lady Wells, the Palo Alto entry for the
Hawthorne purse, the second race, won
also in straight heats, the only competitor
that at all pushed her being Chantilly, who
was driven out for all that she was worth
by Johnny Goldsmith, but without any
avail, as the Lady had the race well in hand
each time that they got the word, except in
the second heat, when, by hot drive up the

AN INTERESTING EVENT.
The last race, a special purse of $500 for
named horses, brought out field OF SIX,
Mambrino Boy, Foxey v and Matte P.
AS they were considered pretty closely
cassed the betting was quite lively and the
field was made first choice in the pool box
for coed money at 500 against $50 for Prince
B and SIG for Mambrino Boy. On the
fourth score they got the word, with Rock
wood in the lead and Mambrino Boy close
up They went in this order to the quarter,
when Mambrno Boy took command and
was first at the half and three-quarters.
lockwood and Lena H close up. A spirited
brush up the stretch resulted in Lena II
winning by length from lockwood, with
the Boy third. The others made no vehe-
ment effrrts to distinguish themselves and
were evidently kept in reserve for the wind
up, except Foxey V, who was distanced.
The time was fair for the class, 2:29h. For
the second heat The field was made tayorIte
at $40 to $50 for Lena, and S13 for Prince.
No time was lost in effecting start with
Lena aud lockwood in the front. They
went in this order all the way into the
stretch, where Matte cut loose and won
wood, who broke repeatedly, coming home
third. Time, 2:31. Mattie's clever win
made her hot first choice at $40 against $40
for Lena ii aid $40 for the field for the third
heat. 1t took six come-ups to get them Off
with Matte in the lead. So far Prince b,
powerful big buckSkin gelding had taken
it very easy, not moving for either Of the
previous heats, and when he broke disas-
trously at the first turn and fell back some
dozen lengths, he looked out Of the race.
He came very fast, however, as soon as he
settled and was second to Matte at the quar-
ter and half. Then lockwood took sec
ond place and they entered the stretch In one
tw0-three order. The very hottest kind OF
drive between the three took place to the
wire. Prince, amid great excitement. getting
there first by q head from Matte, with Rock
wood third. Time, 2:32R.
As soon as it was known that Matte would
have the benefit Of Johnny G0ldsmith's
guidance she was made favorlte again at
They got the word on the fourth heat with
Matte p first to the front AT the first turn
Prince broke again badly and fell away
back. Goldsmith sent Matte along at a
lively clip, and keeping her hard at it, won
the heat by two lengths from the Prince who
was cIeverly nursed by his driver and
brought very fast up the stretch. Lena II
was third, two lengths behind the Prince.
Time, 2:31.
GAME TO THE CORE.

getting dark and late and they were sent off
in hurry Oh the second score. Matte p
was driven from the word 20, and piloted
her field to the turn by length. Then
Prince broke again badly and fell back to
last place. At the quarter Matte led by six
lengths, lockwood second. Prince came up
fast and was second at the half. but still six
lengths behind the leader. He fell back
round the turn and lockwood took second
position. Into the stretch it was Matte by
eight lengths from lockwood, he four better
than Prince. Goldsmith urged Matte for
every ounce she was worth. and at the draw
bridge she looked a sure winner but sud-
denly the big buckskn came from the
rear like a whirlwind and going at
apparently 20 gait He caught the mare
only few feet from the wire, and, despite
every art of Goldsmith, just snatched the
heat and race out Of the fire by a head
amidst loud applause. Lena II was third.
Time, 2:33. 1t being too late to decide the
race then, it was postponed until o'clock
to-day. AS lockwood and Mambrino Boy
did not win heat, they will be no further
factors in the finish, which is now left to
Prince b, Matte and Lena II.
