Notwithstanding that the sloppiest
going of the season prevailed. yester-
days racing at Emeryville was won

the six races, as on the preceding day.

than her form really warranted. The
winning favorites included Erbet, Gil

exceedingly well backed. The single
disappointment of the day was the
poor showing made by Joe Jones Mad

in the early stages, and sweryed down
into the deepest going in the final
quarter, while Jacobite, finishing in the
best going flashed by the tiring favor

himself. Madman had all he could do
to save the place. to the surprise of
those who expected TO see him score
an easy victory. Jacobite was little

had In all his previous starts. He
was unlucky in having the rail position
at the post, and Jockey Notter was
forced to hustle him for all he was
worth to overcome the disadvantage
of none too good a break. The colt
did everything asked OF him in race
horse fashion and confirmed the good
opinion which local race goers had pre-
viously formed of his prowess. He was
able to take the lead before the turn

a manner which warranted the very
short odds that the bookies were will

SERENADE WINS EASILY
Serenade was never headed in the

pursuit of the winner throughout. Lit
tie Siss opened favorite. but her odds
heightened to twice the opening quo

was a lukewarm favorite when the
bugle sounded and stopped to nothing
after figuring promisingly in the early
running. So did Funnyside, on which
there had been tremendous plunge.
Dargin, the remaining contender at
short odds, got off poorly, but ran a
creditabIe race.
DAINTY BELLE Toys WITH FIELD
Dainty Belle toyed with her field in
the fifth, galloping several lengths in
front from start to finish. Temaceo,
which she displaced in favoritism.
loomed menacingly at the last turn, but
she moved away from him at the will
of her rider. 1t was Temaceo's first
start in many months and his lack of
condition told at the end, the so to
shot Katie Powers beating him for
the place by a narrow margin.
The 13 to ] chance Ga1inda outfooted
her field in the final race well into the

been pressing her most closely. Match

the favorite, was unlucky at the start
and was never a dangerous factor, al
though he finished promisingly.
