i GOOD RACING AT OAKLAND NO STARS, BUT JUST USEFUL EVERYDAY HORSES IN ACTION. Burning Bush the Only Winning Favorite Nagazam Beats Some Fast Ones-Long Shots in Front. Oakland, Cat., November 14. A single favorite in Burning Bush, at 7 to 5, made good at Oakland today. Friendless and unsupported outsiders, Husky at 10 to 1, Elmdale at 7, Orchaii at 5, Bertie A. at 8 and Nagazam at 5, accounted for the other five races. It was an off day in every respect, duo chiefly to an ordinary card, which was dominated by horses of inferior class. The attendance fell oft thirty per cent, as compared with the day before. The racing, though uneventful, was interesting enough, but from a betting standpoint acutely unsatisfac- tory. Suy Burns fine horsemanship was the outstanding feature. R. F. Carmans lightweight jockey scored three firsts and two seconds out of live attempts and in at least one instance, on Burning Bush in the second, won with the second best horse in the race. His employer was unable to get more than a tithe of his money down on Progress, the beaten odds-on favorite in the fourth race and the over-cautious ring lost a golden opportunity to enrich itself at Carmans expense. The board of stewards of the New California Jockey Club held a meeting today. The applications for reinstatement of W. Fischer, jockey, ruled off the turf last spring, C. A. Ross, trailer, and J. C. McLaughlin, owner of the horse Marshay Ney, suspended at the same time, were denied. H. J. Ramseys Orchan was bid up from 00 to 1907.sh00 by C. Gustafson after bis victory in the fourth race. The owner bid him in.
