a Francisco, May 9-The feature
of the races at Oakland Ms afternoon
was the defeat Of Candelaria, q 1 to Z
shot. In the fourth race at a mile and
q sixteenth. Jockey Woods got him
cut on several times and ode a gener-
ally bad race, 70 that Flandes, as rood
as 80 to /. and ridden by Whitman,
whom nobody ever heard of. landed
the purse. F1andes and Bobbins led
the first part Of the journey. After
six furlongs the latter had enough.
Then Flandes began to show signs of
sulking. Whitman went after him
with the bat. and got him to running
again and won by two lengths in a
hot drive. Candelaria nosed out Del
paso for the place.
n. l.. Franks colt Ell Mido won the
third race. for which he was the ia
vorite. Rey Hooker went out in front
n led down the stretch, where FL
Mido collared and BEAT him by a
scant length. Piggott on Ell Mido bore
In somewhat on Rey Hooker. forcing
Enos on the latter to pull up. thereby
him out for the place. Franks agents
backed his colt quite heavily and
must have cleaned up handsomely,
getting even for their money.
The first race. at five and one-half
furlongs, brought out a bad band. of
which Milbrae with Piggott up was the
favorite. He won in a canter after
Redspinner and Lon Marie had made
the pace to the head of the stretch.
The two finished second and third re-
spectively.
r.. Q. Ban was expected to win the
second race, a six furlong affair, but
he was a disappointment. Piggott
tried to get tAl as far In front as pos
sible. but Mike Rice had just as much
speed as Bill Murry's sprinter. Both
blew up at the head of the stretch.
Then Dolore came on and won In a
drive from Lucky Star. who should
have got the money.
There were any number of hot
things flying about in the fifth race,
but the race went to Sly, cleverly rid
den by little Clawson. a Mateo and
O'Connell raced out In front of the
field. and by the time the stretch was
reached were both cooked to a turn.
Sly had been lying away in last posi-
ton, n when Clawson cut her loose
h passed the field like a shot, win
ming by about a length. The finish for
the place was the hottest thing eve
seen here. the five horses passing the
post heads apart. Chappie managed
to get the place by a short e from
O'Connell. Miss Rowena had no
trouble in taking the last race. She
was a ~favorite over S~tepabout. which
finished second, a head in front of Sos
