season yesterday, shouldering the
/ healthy impost of 131 pounds in
the six and a half furlong handi-
cap at Oakland, ana then winning easily
in l:2ll4. Harry stovers horse was played
from down to 7 to favoritism, and re-
ceived faultless handling at the hands of
Shaw.
The race was decided during a heavy
rain shower. and Jake Holtmans start
was trife ragged, Stuyve being as good
as left. Princess Titania, with Birken-
ruth in the saddle. led for something over
a furlong. when Shaw slipped along on
the rail, taking the front position with
Kenilworth
Fairly reveling in the rain and sushy
going. the favorite held the Princess safe,
finally beating her a neck with bit in
reserve. Yellow Tail grabbed the third
place. Lady Kent and Mocorito appeared
outclassed.
CHOICES ARE IN EVIDENCE.
First choices paraded to better advan-
tage than on the preceding day when all
six were bowled over. Isabellita KeriI-
worth and Autolight were returned WIN
ners. starting favorltes in the betting.
Harry Thatcher. Favorito and Evander,
reaching home first at more lengthy odds,
proved long way from being eagle

On recent form it looked as If George

rtence no difficulty whatever in disposing
OF the trashy bunch which opposed her
in the opening sprint Her admirers got
aboard at TO 5. and later were nearly
attacked with heart failure The filly had
no early speed and it took the hardest
kind Of effort on the part Of Minder to
overtake and down Tom Mitchell a nose.
The latter was ridden by Watson. and
Is TO 1 in profusion could be had about
him.
So strong was the tip circulated on Ed
Adack that the Chicago horse ruled an
even monev chance for the mile selling

ing to the paddock. There, under strong
pressure, Harry Thatcher, a 10 to shot,
with Eddie Donnelly in the saddle, coll
Jared the pace maker, winning by three
lengths. The favorite finished an indif-
ferent third.
COURSE rs MUDDY.
Owing to the muddy condition Of the
course. the mile and a quarter hurdle
handicap was transformed a fat race.
The winner turned up In Favorito. backed

Poorlands, the to / favorite raced Mike
Rice into subsection. and then, tiring bad
ly the last eighth. fell easy prey TO Fa-
vorito, which scored by nearly two
lengths Duke of York lost considerable
ground through swerving across the track
at the start. and then ran fair third.
Colonel Butch" Fisher and his friends
made mild killing" over the win of
the fifth race by Evander. Some of the
bookmakers laid as high 61z to l about
the gelding. and around post time was
extremely difficult TO obtain. Willie Wall
do had the leg up on the good thing and.
breaking out in the lead at the start, won
all the way Waterbury. on the TO
favorite, Warte Nicht, ran second, SIX
lengths in advance of champagne.
Tommy Burns captured the last purse
