markably Good Race.

The talent stumbled over some more
tortuous curves and inshoots at the Oak
land track yesterday. Outsiders struggled
in ahead of the first choices and finally
to relieve the dreary monotony Don Cara
took the closing race at odds of so to 1. or
the favorltes Palomacita was the only sue
cessful one.
The weather was cold and the attend
ance lighter than usual. The majority
of bettors left for home with most of their
surplus cash resting easily in the book
makers strong boxes.
Thirteen maiden two years furnished
the first opportunity for specuiating. The
distance was five furlongs, and Rapido
was slight favorite in the betting over
Ben Benjamin's black gelding Valdos
Iron Jacket made the running to the
stretch, where Eta H took the lead and
at the end won all out, three parts of
a length before Valdos.
Receding in the betting from evens to
13 to 10 the Burns and Waterhouse entry
Palomacita cut out all the running in the
mile dash that followed, and won easily
from the 100 to 1 shot Model. Meadow
Lark was good third.
Green Morris colt Inhammator made a
SOOu run III the mile lOr IWO@
year-olds and showed himself to be of the
improving sort. Alma was first in de-
mand in the betting at evens, with to
offered against the Brutus colt. OF the
others Bernardillo and Principle were
wei supported. When the barrier shot in
the air inflammation wheeled and came
very near being lett at the post, losing
ground the first quarter he waited on
Alma until well into the stretch, where he
gradually drew ahead and won at the wire
a neck from the fast-coming Bernardillo.
The iavorlte was third.
All with light welter-weights up, BeIli-
coso starting at odds of 1 to easily dis
posed OF his company IN the six-furlong
sprint, with Flashlight finishing in the
place. six lengths before MontalvO.
Nearly every one of the eleven starters
in the concluding race of the day, five
and half furlong scramble, decided
under selling conditions, received more or
less supper They were a mediocre To-,
and Veragua was played down to IL 10 5
fayorilism. Jim Bozeman and Don Cara
had the race to themselves. The former
had the footing over MS competitor until
well on toward the wire, when Don Cara
assumed the front position, and in a hard
drive gained the decision by head. The
winner was backed from 80 down to % to
by an intermittent sort OF play. Encino,
well played at 4 to 1, was fairish third.
Notes.
The Stewards of the California jockey
Club have decided that Tom Boyle. who
bid Moylan up after winning a selling
race on November Is, is not entitled to
half of the run-up money, as Major Cook,
who finished second, is owned by B. c.
Holly and not by Boyle, in whose name
he ran. The fact was developed that Holly
leased the horse to Boyle, but the lease
was not recorded with the clerk of the
course. Under rule 81 Major Cook is de-
prived of any portion of the purse as well
and Palomacita gets the run-up and Sec
ond money ana Edgemount, the four. b
horse at the finish, falls heir to third
money.
I. W. Coulter. the owner of Redskin
and other horses, arrived from the East
Thursday night.
Trainer Pleasant of the Baldwin string
was questioned in regard 10 the showing
ma e by the horses in his charge. 1t
looks as though one race had a remarkably
invigorating effect on their running
powers, but as the trainer claimed the
stable did not benefit thereby nothing
came of the matter. 1t is fact neverthe-
less that people connected with the stable
