Nina Wins the Three-Furlongs
Dash for Two at
the Oakland Track.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2-The feat
ure of the racing to-day at Oakland
was the three furlongs dash for two
year-olds 1t was the first contest be-
tween youngsters this year, and was
run so much earlier than usual that 1t
attracted much attention, affording as
it did, an opportunity to judge the
form of the colts who will be seen many
times before the season closes. There
were ten starters, Yellow Tail, ridden
by Thorpe, being the favorite at s to
5 before the start, these odds later
changing to to 10. Fanny Mills, rid
den by w. H Martin led into the
stretch. Then Yellow Tail came on
with a rush, and looked like a sure
winner. Suddenly Nina leaped to the
front over the muddy track, and crossed
the wire a nose ahead of Yellow Tail.
The race was won in the last two
strides, Nina's time being OBS. Nina
got away fourth, and made all of her
run in the stretch. She opened at 8
to 1, but before the race was started
