Instrument at Long
Odds Proves a
Surprise.
BY FRED e. MULHoLLAND.

Charley Henshalls crack colt Pei
ham finished second to Salable in the
concluding event at Oakland yester-
day and it was the severest blow the
talent received during a somewhat
tempestuous session. For IL there was
one spot where it looked as if spec
ulator could back UP the cart and un-
load the Henshall entry seemed to fur
nish the opportunity. At to the
bookmakers did land office business
in pasteboards. At the start Of the
race. which was decided over the Fu-
turity course, Pelham and Squire john
son bumped together and this must
:: have ratified Sam Greenfield, rider of
the favorite. He picked the worst go
.ing possible for Pelham thereafter and
at the wire proved easy game for Big
Bill" Knapp, who piloted the third
choice, Salable, in clever fashion. Nc
Bride with Squire Johnson lost the
show to True Wing.
Favorites Jared none too we'll from
the start, Haven Run and Esherin be-
ing the only ones to land. None of the
winners were neglected entirely at that.
The attendance was large.
W. Davis rode Sol Lchtenstein, the
1S to 10 favorite for the Introductory
sprint at six furlongs, and was beaten
by Instrument, an to l choice. Davis
mount got caught in jam on the back
stretch, losing at least three lengths.
This gave Mcbride on Instrument an
opportunity to steal a lead, and while
Sol closed strong he was downed more
than a length. Sam Greenfield finished
third with Lady Kent
. After two runaway wins, The Repro
bate received a setback in the five and
a half furIong selling dash. He
closed a pronounced choice over David
0Boland, and after racing out in front
with that fast sprinter, lost to the
10 to / shot Edrodun at the wire by
more than length. jake Jones
piloted the winner, and got his mount
away in front. Edrodun was outfooted
one part of the trip, then caught the
leaders all in, down where the money
iso David Boland easily disposed of
San Jose for the show.
Willie Harris Haven Run, a to
favorite, took the seven furlong num-
ber, for which field of eight started.
Yellowstone gave the first choice an
II 3
tance, then faded away. Dotterel came
fast at the end, downing The Fretter
three lengths for the place. Brennus
and DR.. Sherman met with poor luck,
cutting no figure in the race.
Willie DAILY was responsible for the
defeat of Arcade, which was backed
down from twos to Is to 10 favoritism
in the betting on the mile and fifty
10 hol
fathers horse in the poor going part Of
the way, and in the stretch rode a zig
gag finish Hainault with Chandler up
and the pacemaker throughout, was
then enabled to lead the first choice
out half a length. Langford James, an
81 FOUNDER and so to l, ran into the
show Sam Greenfield got away poorly
with North West, well supported one,
and then only lost third place by
head.
Two races keyed Johnny Schorr's
Esherin right up to concert pitch, for
the mare made a gallop of the mile
and seventy yard selling fixture. The
price receded in the betting from 311 to
Az, and Bonner had her out in the
lead from start to finish. Minder on
Jack Little, a 10 to chance, landed
second, five lengths ahead of Maxtress,
Achilles and Mr.. Dingle ruled about
equal choices with the winner.
