Bliss Rucker Was the
Only Winning Choice
at Oakland.
Napamax, in Poor Fettle, Was
Easily Defeated.

Yankee Doodle Got a Close
Decision.

The Burns & Waterhouse entries did
not pass such a bad day of it after all
at Oakland yesterday The two-year-
old Bliss Rucker scampered away with
the Burlingame stake and the fast
mare Shasta Water showed her heels
to some rapid company in the high
weight handicap. The other two en-
tries, made in different events, ran be-
hind the money, not because the con-
ditions did not suit them, but for lack
Of speed. Altogether, it was a most
unhealthful day for the talent.
They started off on the wrong foot,
and apparently never got Strengthened
out. The win Of Bliss Rucker marked
the only victory of a favorite through
out che afternoon.
Longshot Conley started in by taking
the first race with Alvero an outsider,
with 80 to l about him in the betting.
The field was large one, and the fav-
orite, La Mascotte, looked a winner UP
to the last few yards, when Conley
came with a rush astride the despised
one and won by a head. Kamsin, the
was third.
Then came the seven furlong run for
two year old fllies. 1t was said that
Napamax was herself again, but her
ragged showing did not indicate such.
St Calatine, with plenty of to about
her in the ring, led all the way and
won easily from Martha H. which came
with a great burst of speed, snatch

ing the place from the pegged out
choice.
The Burlingame stake, over a mile,
drew out but a small field of four
starters. Coupled in the betting Bliss
Rucker and Altamax were odds-on
choices, with Senator Bland next in de-
mand at 8 to 2. 1t proved a tame af
fair from the beginning. Bliss Rucker
went out in the lead and made a run
away race of it, winning from the
jump. AltamaX, his stable mate, was
an easy second over Buckwa. Senator
Bland was outrun from the send-off.
Speir's crack sprinter O'Connell was
weight handicap. Asked to carry 1876
near the front, and finished in fifth
place. In a furious drive through the
stretch, by superb riding, Thorpe got
the second choice, Shasta Water, home
a head in advance of McLight. Out in
front for the greater part of the dis
tance, Bellicoso ''dogged" il badly and
was unplaced.
The hurdle handicap furnished an
other upset. Dan Honig's jumper Our
Climate, was pounded down from tWOs
to an even money chance, but was cut
down when half the distance had been
travelled and was led over the line by
the rank outsider Malo Diablo, piloted
by Cooper. Captain Rees was third.
Mainstay was played for a good
thing in the last race and finished be-
hind the coin. All sorts of money went
