WIND-UP OF THE
OAKLAND RACES.
Again the Four FaYOriteS Are
First Under the Wire.
Tie Jockey Clubs Meeting Pecuniarily and
Generally a suecess-Another One to
Be Held in July Next.

Yesterday closed the initial meeting of
the Oakland Jockey Clubs running races at
tie Oakland track. While the fields con-
tending have been small throughout and
there was but little variety in the starters.
tile same horses running sometimes twice a
DAY, the racing was sufficiently enjoyable,
notably from the absence Of any robbery as
far as could be asCeTtained. In this Dartic-
ular the club must be congratulated, and
due praise awarded the judges for their
Natchfulness. The attendance was large
enough to bring the club out clear from any
loss, and probably there will be balance
Of a few hundred dollars to the poor when
all accounts are squared up.
The club has decided 10 hold another
meeting in July commencing on the 4th and
continuing throughout the following week.
All the fayorites won again yesterday,
though the odds against them were not at
all inviting. Folly at 2 to defeated Annie
Lewis In the first event, and won her sec
ond victory this year. Folly has been
dubbed "a pure gem Of raTest ray SERENE"
but to sciutillate as should such precious
jewel she must run a little faster. AT pres
ent Eer rate OF progress hardly serves to
keep her warm. John Treat had no strings
on lim Yesterday for the second race, the
cable that anchored him at San Jose and
tie Blood Horse having been severed at
last. He won in the handiest fashion, and
showed very clearly that he had been ''hyp-
Noticed" in all of his recent efforts. Re-
YOivcT won the third in hollow style, as he
had right to do in his recent running at
the meeting He. like the preceding win
ners, was an odds on favOTite. Another
nrSt-DlO0m choice, NaichO b. took the last,
and this time, probably as fit wind-up of

hearts a little and actually bet odds against
a favOrite NiachO, who was nowhere the
other day when at odds on, evidently liked
the slate prices and made another Of his
periodical clean-ups, much to the financial
benefit Of his owner and friends Of the sta
bic. He won by four lengths in easy man
ner in l: Al, fast time for the distance, one
mile.
