OAKLAND RACES SAN FRAgCISCO, SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1897. Very Large Fields of Contenders in the Va rious Events-The Racing Quite Inter- estingâSome Long Shots Prove Victorious. SEVENTY-NINTH DAYâTHURSDAY, MAY 6TH. Favorites were successful in four races to-day, the'remain- ing two beiDg captured by horses at 6 to 1 and 10 to 1 Lucky Star, ridden by Stufflet, made a runaway of the first Ha was one of those real good things that sometimes go through, and was played well at odds of 6 to 1. Adam An- drew took the second cleverly, Reel winding up second and Nervoso third. Sea Spray, who is an improved horse and runs well in his new boots, led all the way in the third, which was at a mile. Elsmore made every post a winning one in the fourth, and, about all out, beat Salabar, a better colt at the weights, about three parts of a length for the big end of the purse. Howard was leader throughout in the next, but Our Climate, who did not seem to know whether to run or not, at times, could probably have made the favorite hustle a lot if he'd taken it into his crazy head to do so Logan, the "iron horse," won another race, his ninety-ninth V!ctory, we believe, beating Montallade out half a length in a hard drive. Manchester loomed up third at the finish and Alvarado, the fast mule, was left at the post. Hennessy dis- tinguished himself by riding three winners, the last three C17«,0DfflPi.l0te,d rdT ^ndrew and Sea SP^ 'o the front and btufflet rode Lucky Star, winner of the opening event The attendance was excellent, the track not "at its" fastesi The first race was at five furlong-,, for three-year-olds Lucky Star, to a good start, dashed to the fore, leadinJ:Cha£ pie past the half and three-quarters by two' lengths,B?y Carruthers close up.
