OAKLAND RACES.
A Small Attendance at the Jockey
Club Meeting.
Four well-Played Choices Support Their Back
ers' Investments-Del Mar Won With
Big Weight Up.

DThere was only very small attendance
yesterday at the seconi days racing OF the
Oakland Jockey Clubs fall meeting. The
track, while safe, was deep and little
heavy. Messrs. Dietz, Kent and Diamond
were the judges. and j. Bonner the starter.
For change one bOok-maker IA member of
the Book-makers' Association listed air
tight odds. AS the general favorites won
the public won little money.
George Kennedy's handsome little mare
Acclaim won the opening event, and sus-
tanned her claim to being about the best OF
her age on the Coast.
Inkerman retrieved his laurels by win
ming the heat race hands down in straight
heats.
Esperanza took the two-year-old event,
and was ridden with much skill and judy
ment by little Spence, who has bright
future before him in the saddle If he will be
guided by good advice.
Del Mar proved how much weight really
gond horse can give away to inferior class
competitors, by picking up 126 pounds, and
winning at seven furlongs in :2S9, giving
no less than f0rty-one pounds TO an aged
mare like Minnie X.
The club has decided not to change its set
date for Saturday, hut will pit its popularity
against that of the Breeders, who will conf
mence their fall meeting at the Bay District
Track then
