SPEEDY OAKLAND RIDERS.
They Won Four Out of Five
Events at the Central
Park Track.
Kenna and Agnew Captured the ANA.
teur Events, Dow and Boyden
the Professional.


Oakland at the Central Park races yester-
day. ]. K. Kenna, Acme Club, won two
amateur events; A. II. Agnew, Acme Club,
another, and A. NJ. Boyden, Reliance Club,
the mile professional All the races were
close and exciting. There was no "loaf-
ing" and altogether it was one of the best
meets held here.
The races in the afternoon proved one
thing that has been evident at the last few
meets, and that is that Kenna is very
nearly the speediest amateur on the coast
to-day. he Is ew man on the track,
but rides with a determination and skill
that brought him in twice a winner yes
terday.
The half-mile handicap, professional,
in the afternoon furnished several sur
prlses. First Campbell beat Foster in their
heat. Then Downing defeated Olsen.
Next Dow and Gushing beat Bob
Long and Allan Jones, and then johnny
Edwards did not even qualify in his heat.
But 1t was the final heat that upset all
calculations. Those who had qualified
were Terrill, Dow, Downing and Camp
bell. Terrill is probably the best man and
should have won, but he miscounted the
laps and quit one round too soon. He re-
covered enough to get into third place.
DOW beat Downing in the sprint, and as
both are San Jose boys the Garden Citys
were naturally delighted.
Dow is showing splendid form, and sur
prlsed his most ardent admirers. 1t is
quite card for any rider to beat such men
as he did yesterday.
A. M. Boyden, of the Reliance Club.
Oakland, is another rider who was slow as
an amateur, but is making a good showing
as professional. He won the mile handi-
cap last night in clever style, riding the
entire distance unpaced, he being the
limit man.
