OAKLAND RACES.
Wild Oats Easily Defeats Very
Strong FayOrite.

Backers-Fair Contests on a Fast Track
Viewed by Many.


ceived fair value for their admission fees in
the way of witnessing the thoroughbreds
contest for the supremacy, but they have
some cause of complaint over the dilatory
manner in which the judges called up the
races for decision. Only four events were
on yesterdays programme, yet, though the
races were announced to common at 2
o'clock sharp, it was past 2:30 O'Clock before
the first race was called. and the big clock
at the Market-street Ferry showed the hour
/. hand at the Z o'clock mark when the race
gOers returned to this city.
The racing itself was good enough, and
no complaints of jobbery were made. The
favorites, with one exception. again won,
though the policy of only allowing two
bOOk-makers to list the odds, nsuring the
most iron-clad sort of odds, necessarily
affects the betting and increases the money
wagered in the auction pools, to the Dreju-
dice of the small money betters.
The day was perfect and the track was in
excellent order. though still little heavier
than some trainers liked. There was quite
a good attendance; if anything it was larger
than on the opening day. MessrS Sessions.
Dimond and Waugh officiated as judges, and
e. Ii. Downer again handled the flag, and
event, the heat-race, he was successful in
effecting the send-offs. Had Inkerman been
given an even show he would have won, in
all probability. the opening race. AS it was
he was at least eight lengths in the rear for
the first heat. and was tren only beaten by
Scant length. In the second heat, after
getting off four lengths behind the leaders,
re was only defeated by a neck Acclaim
won her race in romp, and is decidedly
the best three-yearold at the track, She
has been leased for the season to Mr.. Harper
OF the SuiSun stable, and will be Hotspur's
stable companion at the conclusion Of the
present meeting. She IS quite high-class
FLY, and it might pay Mr.. Harper much
better to race her at the big tracks in the
East than on the northern circuit.
Wild Oats, ive-year old, chucked in at
So pounds in the Oakland handicap, won in
a hand-galiOp, the favOriteS Applause and
NaIcho b, disappointing their hackers
greatly. That PeScador is certainly the
best twO-year-old now at the track was also
fully demonstrated, and the son of GanO,
though not a large sized one, is quite a first
class second grade yOungster. He acted very
badly at the post, walking and running
away several times. Though he got off last
he made a show of Folly, Wildidle tilly,
who was heavily backed to beat him.

The Fisherman" acted as if he was get
ting a little track-weary from so much
racing at Fresno, San Jose, San Francisco,
Sacramento and Oakland. A let-up would
doubtless be much appreciated by him. He
kept backing up against the fence, refusing
to stir ana varied the programme by run
ming away to. the quarter pole. When,
however, the flag fell to a Struggling start,
with Folly aud BOrealis three lengths in the
lead and he last off, the colt moved free
enough. After letting the leaders race their
heads off to the half he moved up and cut
them down very easily. He won in a hard
canter pulling up by length from Folly,
who tasted the silk all the way up the
stretch. Annie Lewis was third, five lengths
