4 u offered visitors to Oakland track
yesterday, but notwithstanding,
1t attracted a fair attendance. There was
nothing bordering on the miraculous to
chronicle Probably tcC dead heat finish
between Diderot and Dunblane at tie
conclusion of the third event was the
most noteworthy occurrence. Diderot in
the betting ruled 10 10 favorite, and
the first part of the race was clearly out
footed. Later on. though, while Ransom
astride. Forkford was busily engaged
humping and otherwise caressing O'Con-
nor on Dunblane, Woods moved up sew
eral holes with the first choice. Forkford
drew out of the play not far from tho
wire, and the judges declared a dead heat
between Dunblane and Diderot. For his
plainly apparent rough riding tactics
Ransom was fined $50 by the officials in
the stand.
The track was heavy and almost hold
ing enough in places To pull the plates
from the feet OF the equine racers. Her
culean, a. to favorite. was again unfor-
tunate in getting left at the post. st.
Sever and Mocorito, two other prominent
choices, proved disappoip .ments.
By actual computation Sugden, favorite
for the first number, seven-furlong SELL
ing affair, must have been at least an
hour and fifteen minutes the better horse.
Spencer, who had the mount, was practi-
cally left at the post, but caught the
bunch before three furlongs had been COW
cred and won almost easing up. Caneto
led Rinaldo out for the place.
Seven two-year-olds started in the five
furlong sprint following, and it looked an
open betting proposition. : Louwelsea
showed a trace of her old FORM and with
Bullman in the saddle downed the favor
ite, ST. Sever, with little to spare. the
winner closed at odds of to 1.
Undoubtedly the smartest betting race
of the day was the mile and 100 yard run,
with Sea Lion, Horton, Goldone and Wyo
ming as starters. Each of the quartet re-
ceived more or less support, and at post
time there was no pronounced choice.
The going though suited Sea Lion, and
after leading throughout he fairly barked
in two lengths before Horton. A dozen
lengths back Goldone disposed of Gaylon
Browns old horse for the show.
With Herculean again on his bad beha-
vior and left at the post, Imperious had
nothing to beat for the mile and a SIX
teenth purse. At odds of to l, Birken-
ruth had him in front from the start, win
ming but half-easy from Bob Palmer.
Spencer scored his second win of the
afternoon with Hohenlohe in the closing
seven-furlong jaunt Mocorito, the favor
ite died away to, nothing after a spell of
it out in the lead, and the Elmwood farm!
horse then downed First Shot two lengths
ridden out.

STRIKE HURTS
ONE RAILROAD
SWitchmen at Pittsburg
Unable to Enlist
Sympathy.
New Men Obtain Places Va
Gated by the Union
Members.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 26-Judging by ap-
parent conditions, the switchmen's strike
begun this morning has proved a failure.
The strike was ordered by the Switch
mems Union of North America, and the
claim was made early in the day by the
union officers that every road in the city,
with the exception of the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne & Chicago and the Pittsburg, Gin
cinnad, Chicago & st. Louis, would be
tied UP completely.
The developments of the day, however,
demonstrate that only one road the Le-
high Valley. was seriously affected. On
this road but one crew was at work and
the road is badly crippled. The company
officials, while admitting that freight traf-
nc has been practically supenoeo. say that
within twenty-four hours they VIII have
all the men they need and work viii be
resumed as usual
The other roads affected were the Balti-
more and Ohio, twenty-five men out; the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie, four men out; the
Pennsylvania, fifteen men out. One hun
dred and fifty would be high estimate
Of the total men who struck. None of
these roads suffered much inconvenience,
because new men were readily secured to
take the places of the strikers, and some
of the men,. upon discovering that the
strike order had not been generally
obeyed, returned to their places.
A meeting of the union was held this
afternoon and the claim was made that
the strike was a success as Tar as 1t had
gone, and that within forty-eight hours
the members of the union, about 700,
would be out The demands Of the switch
men call for the enforcement of the
standard scale of wages.
1t is claimed that the Monongahela con-
Meeting lines signed the scale to-day, but
the officials of the other roads say they
are more determined than ever not to
sign The strikers have not the sympathy

hood of Trainmen, is in the city, and says

thought of Denman Thompson? Perhaps
all this is due to the play in some in
stances, and in others to the player,
but it is fair to conclude that each shares
with the other in the credit of having
so absolutely won the love and affection
of the American people.
But it is also right to presume that
the age and experience of these grand
old men of the stage has had much to do
with it, and of them all only two are
left. H Stoddart and Joseph Jeffer-
son, Mr.. Stoddart being the elder of the
two and the more active. as Mr.. Jeffer-
son limits his season each year to few
weeks in some of his favorite cities.
In the same manner in which these
mems names are linked with plays, so
will Mr. Stoddarts name be ever con-
nected with that of Ian MacLaren'S COM
edy, 1.-The Bonnie Brier Bush Because
these old men with their plays gained
position in the consideration of the pub
lie, enduring and affectionate, argues
most potentially for the direct and simple
drama that appeals neither to classes or
masses; that is no invention of the dra-
matte trickster, nor an exploitation of
abnormal and frequently immoral real
ism, but a straightforward, clean play
that has in it that something that goes
straight from the heart to the heart, that
changes ones moods from merriment to
pathos, and that sends one away from
the playhouse with a good, clean taste in
ones mouth and feeling of satisfaction
of having spent an entertaining and prof
liable evening.
1t is true that Mr. Stoddart differs
from his contemporaries in the matter
of his stage career, for the reason that
he has not starred until he had served
an apprenticeship of sixty-eight years,
which in these days of mushroom enter
prises, professional and otherwise, is
most conspicuous contrast to many
young actors who are elevated Con pa
peri to stellar honors before they have
actually served their art that many
months Mr.. Stoddart's long absence
from the stage as a star, after he had
obtained reputation of being the most
eminent character actor of the stage in
this country, was not because opportuni-
ties did not offer themselves as far as
propositions from managers are to be
considered, nor because he felt a GER
tain sense of modesty, Unborn in the old
stock actor, but for the reason that he
realized the path which led to rever-
ence and an admiration given to such old
actors as have been mentioned could
only be Travelled with vehicle built and
