OAKLAND RACES.
Sepd-Offs Have Much to Do With
Winners Successes.
e Rsyo, Ida Glenn and John Treat Earn Mere
Brackets-Losers Complain, but
Not Remuneratively.

Quite an anomaly was presented yester-
day at the Oakland track, where the Oak
land Jockey Club is holding a winter run
ming race meeting. The preceding even
ing's rain converted the course, for some
twenty-five feet from the rail- into a per-
feet quagmire of mud to find the bottom
solid footing of which would have required
twenty-foot probing IOle; yet on the out
side going on the upper rail the ground was
as hard as a board and dry as finder Con-
seQuently the fields, in the three events de-
cided, swung as far cut as they could when
coming into the stretch and under the con-
ditious had the time made was quite good.
There was some forcible talk INDUCED in
by the losers on each event. The running
of Idaho Chief, Hercules and Oregon
Eclipse did not seem to suit some of the
visitors. In one or two instances the
judges were interviewed by some specta-
tors, who made certain statements to them
before the fields were sent off. After con-
sideration the judges decided not to change
the order in which the wire was finished
under, nor to read the riot act to jockeys or
others.
FL Rayo, after losing the fist heat in such

went back to zero, won the heat race, the

Ida Glenn got big advantage IN the
send-oif and won the second event quite
easily The hackers of Hercules intimated
that they thought he could have won. But
he did not, ali the same.
John Treat rOmped home tor the last race.

There was nothing to TALL IN love with
