TEsrERDAY's WINNERS
By-J. r. Jeffery

-
Sensationany close finishes marked
the racing at Emeryville yesterday. In
four OF the six events the outcome re-
NAMED in doubt up to the very last
stride and excitement ran high in con-
sequence. Three favorites, a second
choice and two long shots accounted
for the card
The running Of the feature event, the
Perfume handicap. at a mile and twenty
yards, was marred by a bad start, An
drew Mack, the favOrite, being one OF
the principal sufferers, and Hoffman
came in for vigorous ''booing' from
the crowd. Five minutes had been con-
sumed at the post and the barrier had
been broken thrice before Hoffman
gave the word 10 go. The field was SO
1umbled up when the barrier arose
that Earl Rogers was virtually the only
horse prepared for the break and he got
away flying in front of the others. Col
lector Jessup was away second and
was followed closely by Supreme
Court and Bedford. Then came Andrew
Mack, several lengths 10 the bad, and
lastly Silverskin, hopelessly left To
make matters worse the favorite
stumbled soon after the start and lost
more ground but Koerner pickeu him
up and started out after the field
There was so much early speed in the
race that for half mile Mack gained
but little on the leaders, but by the
time six furlongs had been covered
Collector Jessup was the only horse
in front OF him. One by one he had
picked up the others. Collector Jes-
sup had taken the lead on the last
turn and he showed the favorite the
way into the stretch by more than a
length.

frantic with excitement as the favorite
gained inch by inch. but the handicap
was too much for him TO overcome, and
Jessup, splendily handled by Jockey
Fischer won by a neck. Supreme Court
was a distant third, Earl Rogers and
Bedford. the early pacemakers, having
stopped to nothing.
The winner was a 3h TO / second
choice. having drifted back from to 1
under the influence OF a strong play on
the favorite.
In the opening race, which was for
tvo-y year-olds, the talent made the mis-
take OF going to Orena and Love OF
Gold In preference 10 the opening ia

the Undine stakes had been generally
regarded as a fiuke. In consequence
Orena went to the post equal choice
with BOas The two got away in front,
but BOas quickly raced Orena into sub
mission and was not thereafter in dan
ger. Adena challenged at the head OF
the stretch, but Boas easily drew 1ear
and won by three lengths. Scoville, the
stable jockey, had the mount Adena

naming entrant, was never a factor

front for time.
Cadichon. odds-on favorite in the
third. was all out to win by a neck
from Briers. Little Mirthful made the
pace for a half mile, with the favorite
in close attendance and Briers always
within striking distance, in contrast to
her performance Of the previous day.
When Little Mirthful tired Cadichon
took the lead, but Briers closed with
great resolution and gave the hackers
