ALL NOSES APART.
Four Horses Finish All
Together.
A CLOSE RACE IN OAKLAND
Burlingame Ruled Off by the Judges
Till His Ride on Patrician Can
Be Looked Into.

Four horses swept down the stretch at
Oakland in the first race yesterday after
noon and not one of them was three inches
ahead of another. 1t was one of the most
exciting finishes ever seen on racetrack.
and the spectators didn't know which the
winner was until the judges announced
that Nellie Van had captured first money.
Both the choices were beaten, but both
were close up. Mount Carlos. vigorously
ridden by McAuliffe, was the fourth of the
quartet.
Hal Fisher. the handsome brown horse
from Denver, was installed as favorite,
and money poured in on him. Normandie,
with light weight on, was at to 1. People
seemed to doubt her courage and the abll-
ity OF the boy Kenny who was billed to
ride her. Henry Schwartz, the bookmaker,
got an idea that she wasn't going to try to
win. So he ordered the judges to change
the jockeys. They looked around for a
light boy, but could not find good one
disengaeed. So they took "Moosr" Tay-
lor, the crack lightweight of the Undine
stables. who was to have ridden Jack the
Ripper, made him change his colors and
ride Normand Sullivan was given the
mount ON Jack the Ripper.
They all got away together, but Tuber-
vile took Nellie Van out in front right
away and cut out pace that made most
of the skates that were entered drop out of
ii. Hal Fisher was next to the rail, and
turning into the stretch Burlingame Gu,
him loose. He caught Nellie Van easily,
but Burlingame could not finish with the
energetic little Tuberville, who went al
his faint-hearted mount as soon as she be-
IAN to show any inclination to drop back.
He just managed to shove her white nose
out in front OF Normandie, who was a
shade ahead of Fisher. Cody b pulled
up very lame.
Joe was the good thing in the second
race al six furlongs. He was backed clear
O # the boards, but could do nothing but
run a dead heat with Stoneman. Taylor
on Little Tough simply outclassed the
other jockeys. and won by nose through
his clever riding.
Morris, the darky who rides for Lucky
Baldwin, was given the mount on Our
Dick in the third race, and he won block,
with Augustus second.
All the horses in the fourth race were
backed. but Patricia was the favorite at
to s. Charger got off in the lead and Tay-
lor never let anything catch him. Clac-
quer was second aud the favorite third.
The Judges were suspicious of the ride
that Burlingame made on his mare and
ruled him off pending an investigation.
The hurdle race was full of incident.
Guada loupe was the hottest sort of a
favorite, with Onti Ora second choice.
Yokohi and Guadal0upe ran neck-and-
neck all the way.
Through the stretch YOkohl seemed to
have the favorite beaten. Though the
ignorance of somebody hurdle had been
placed near the finish. The horses were
being driven out and 7 okohl failed to clear
il. Mitchell. who rode him, was thrown
to the ground. but not hurt. Wild Robin.
who came in 80 seconds behind all the
others, carromed against several men who
ran out on the track to aid the PROSTATE
jockey and knocked them down. Fortu-
nately no one was hurt.
