Races on Eastern Tracks.
OAKLAND, Aug. 5.-The racing at
Oakland to-day was rather tame until
the closing event, which required five
heats to decide. 1t was by long odds
the best contest of the day, and Incl
dentally brought to the front two
three year olds who covered the dis
lance in the fastest pacing time of this
meeting. The uncertainty of the sport
was well illustrated in this event, for
the son of Diable looked a badly beaten
horse at the end of the second heat,
while the Fresno horse seemed a sure
winner In the betting the Diable colt
was the favorite at - to I against the
field. After the first heat Bosler
changed the betting, pools selling at SO
for Diable TO So for the field. After
hot contest Bosler won the second heat
by four lengths. Pools now shifted to
so for Bosler to So for the field, in
Guiding the Diable colt. Bosler won
with ease, the original favorite COM
ing in last. To the surprise of all
Diable won the next heat. The final
heat was most exciting. Diable and
Bosler went like a double team to the
far turn, where the Fresno colt gave
way 10 Arthur w Diable however,
had speed to spare and amid great ap-
plause came home in 2:21A, five
lengths behind Arthur w. Third place
was all Bosler could get.
