FOUR HEATS
 AT OAKLAND First Protracted Race Had to Date. TWO CERTAINTIES OVERTURN MELoAR WINS A GRAND RACE
 IN FINE STYLE. Resort, Our Jack and Old Plunkett All Prove Good Winners in
 Other Events-The
 Results.

The fifteenth days races at the Breed CTS meeting at Oakland yesterday were in the main exciting and marked by a fourheat race-the 2:17 trot-opening the card.
 It was a two in three affair, with the fast mare Silver Ring, Our Jack, Our Lucky, Mabel Mckinney and Little Miss as starters, Lon declining battle. Our Lucky came here with stories of a trial in PIP, and opened even money favorite in conjunction with Our Jack. The field sold at to Lucky 5. The first heat, in 2:1612, looked so easy to the little stallion 1t was to on him for the second heat Our Jack laid the first heat up, having made a sprawling break going away. Little Miss was distanced.
 Our Lucky and Silver Ring fought out the second heat, but near the wire Lucky broke, and running out in the lead fin ished ahead of Silver Ring. The judges properly set him back and gave Will Hams big mare the heat. Had Hackney sat still behind Our Lucky he would cer tainly have won heat and race. but he went to the bat when it looked danger ous, and this foolishness cost the race. Our Jack now came to the front, and as Silver Ring is none too game, won out. Our Lucky and Mabel Mckinney being over, for Jack won 1t in 2:2014 easily. The betting throughout was favorable to those taking the auctions-felders against Our Lucky.
 The special for named pacers went to the veteran Plunkett in 2:1SA. Hijo del Diabl3, none too game, stopped badly, money. F. W and Delphi likewise posted with Hijo at to 5. The secoring was de- cidedly tiresome. The field sold at to hA fa ri n6 n6 Welchs old motto, always play the field in a pacing race,' looked to be com nonsense logic once again.
 In the green pacing class the talent fell heavily again, as Lolita, easily winner on Monday over Resort, was unsteady, and distanced in the opening heat, she being at even money and having quite a play in the auctions at to for the lot. Resort won easily in 2:171a, nothing able to make him stop sufficiently to lose, although he was backing up decidedly each trip. Durfee's little mare, Lady Margaret, was second and Harry Ra- mon third. Owens was asked to let Dick Havey ride the last heat behind Harry Ramon, but the suspect was too unsteady to avail, and so it goes. Undoubtedly he has been monkeyed with heretofore and been racing under cover.
 Billy" Johnson won with the big chest nut horse Melvar in the fourth race, and all were pleased at the result. The sable hued gentleman simply toyed with the field and landed the money in 2:2512 over Winella. Pletta Munger was 5 fa- vorite, the winners price even money. Winela's quarter boot broke at the word and she finished with a knee boot flap ping.
 To-days events should be the very best to date, and the free for all trot especial ly promises excellent sport with the con- testants all at their best just at present. It is good betting the Oakland track gets a new trotting record ere the winner is decided.
