Old Plunkett Wins in a Hurricane Finish Over Hijo del Diablo. Notes of the Race
 Track.

There was racing galore at Oakland yesterday and of the real old-fashioned sort-hammer and tongs from start to finish, and favorites ofttimes dethroned, only one landing.
 At noon the Golden Gate Club members had the track for sweekstakes at $25 corner five in 1t. Farmer Bunch acted as starter and had the spectators in doubt as to whether it were a vaudeville show or horse trot. No pools were sold, so it all went. Berry won it with Haviand off the reel, best time 2:27 although in fun the timers hung it out 2:141a Prior to the start Haverly reared and his sulky ran under" unseating Mead. the driver, but fortunately doing no real harm. In the opening heat it was right close, but thereafter old Haviland had 1t cinched under Berry's capable reinsman- ship. He beat Dandy Pat a special heat for the refreshments later along, and was decidedly in 1t.
 The regular racing card started with one of the match races between two daugh- ters of Nutwood Wilkes-Where Is She and Central Girl. The latter won it in 2:22A, 2:2S72, after the long named lilly had landed the opening heat in 2:2S fiat. No pools.
 Then the no-record pacers took the track and 1t was Primrose at l to 2, but she was unsteady, and finally Resort won in 2:15R, Jonathan driving a splendid race l Direct was close up, both stop ping badly. The quarter was ;311a, half l:06. and little wonder each tired. Resort was at , to l. and his party gave an ex- ultant yell as Donathans bronze colors flashed by the wire in the van. Peanuts, refusing to score was left, but Williams logged out the mile. The favorite took down the show money, but was clearly not on her best behavior. His last out Resort played the rogue and would not score. So the pacers go.
 In the very next Inferno the choice, and laid up the initial heat for Beachwood, but when 1t came to a ques- tfon Of money-hunting the colts harness broke and Murray stopped him, returning to the stand the reverse way of the course. Nothing to 1t but Beachwood in 2:15A, PISA Butcher Boy a capital sec- ond each trip, and the gallant lilly Direc- tress near at hand under the gad all the way from the head of the stretch. She's an unsteady miss going away, but races like Trojan coming to the wire where they pay off. The talent got a great dump, as Inferno won easily his last out it looked all over but the shouting. trotters, where Zambro. the hitherto un- beaten, was a to shot, but landed minus his driver-last in the bunch owing to collision with Aster at the five fur and won in 2:1S at 5 to 1 over Ethel Downs. The half in 1:o51s cooked the game, and carried away fast will quit Zambro and Aster were placed, but be- hind the moneX. Jonathan was unhurt end Zambro readily captured at the gate of his stable Aster's sulky was minus a tire and that is all the damage-except to the wise guessers who fancied Zambro and never thought he could be behind at the far turn. He did not score as steadily as was his wont and a few took their money off. Monterey would not go in h trot, so was only third. He will yet have
 The 2:14 pace went to Little Thorn in 2;14&, after breaking to a standstill go- ing away. He simply outclassed the rest five, seconds and the supposedly fast hop pied pacer, Arthur w, stopped short on the stretch in the punishing finish he got Thorn was 1 to ?, and the sole favorite to land the stuff throughout the day
 The veteran Plunkett, after finishing last this race. came out and won the special event in 2:1S at to ?, beating Hijo del Diablo in the stretch handlly F W showed world of speed and Rex Alto was too unsteady to any more than reprimand. The winner has now two cap don't forget old Dan when passing the medals for good driving. He always gives the money an honest. consistent drive, and, too. hasn't the cracks of the meeting on his staff with which to go out and lis ten to the jingle of the bookmaker's coin. His horses go the route and look like the feed bills are at all times paid.
