AT OAKLAND.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23.-The
California Jockey Club opened it's rae
ing season at the Oakland track to-
day. The track was in excellent condi-
ton. F. Mulholland and j. w. Brooks
officiated in the judges stand, James B.
Ferguson did the starting, while H. H.
Egbert acted as patrol judge. Every
thing went off smoothly, but it will be
a week or ten days before all the best
horses now at the track will be ready
to race.
The feature of the card was the open
ing handicap at mile for a purse of
81 900. Nine horses started. Mount
McGregor, with Thorpe in the saddle,
was a favorite throughout the betting,
although his price f1uctuated quite a
good DEAL while Cromwell from lack
of support by the speculative public,
receded from 8 to ) to to 1 before
post time Rosinante, never better
than 3 to i, had steady support. Crom-
we'll beat The Fretter in a drive by a
length. Rosinante, who was eighth at
the ee-quarter mile pole, finished in
her usually determined style, and was
catching the leader at every stride.
Cromwell is in rare form just now, and
won with lit pounds in the saddle in
race horse style. The Fretter, who was
20 to i, ran an unexpectedly good race,
Owing to a bad start in the five fur
long race Constellator was beaten out
by Druidess. All of the races were
well contested Results:
Five furlongs, Druidess (E. Jones),
II to l, won; Constellator (Morse)
to 3, second; John Millin e. Ward),
8 to /, third. Time-1:03A. The Echo,

AT STOCKTON.
STOCKTON, Sept. 23.-The final day
of the race meet brought out a good
sized crowd to witness the racing. Four
heats were required in each of the prin-
