Excellent Racing Over ar Very Fast Track- Some Records Established and Stakes Decided. FIFTY-SIXTH DAYâFRIDAY, MARCH 12. There was plenty of racing at Oakland this afternoon, seven races being carded. They were well contested, too, there being only one race won easily daring the day. Four favorites and three long shots gathered in the dejirable por- tion of the purses, hence the speculating public had no dis- mal howl to emit over the running of the various events. The surprises were in the 6rst and last races. Bourbon, a horse bred in the southern part of the State, led from the rise of the barrier to the sighting-rod in the first. He was as good as 30 to 1 in the betting, bat was backed to 10's at post time. Key El Salto, winner of the third, was at 5 to 1, and in the last Sallie Clicquot's $2,100 brother (supposed to be the rankest counterfeit ever thrown on the public) made every post a winning one, and though all out at the finish, was a length in front at the right spot. The mile and a fur- long race between Judge Denny and Morte JFonsewasone of the prettiest ever seen here, not over a neck separating the pair for over a mile, while for about a quarter they ran stride for stride as one horse, there not being any discernible ad- vantage. Cash Day's easy win in such fast time stamps him a rare good one, and Lincoln won the mile handicap in bis usual game fashion. The first race, five furlongs, brought eleven to the post. UfT to a fair start, Bourbon early got to the fore, leading by a length at the half and two lengths at the three-quarters, Iron Jacket second, lapped by Monitor. Woodland Belle came out of the bunch m the last furlong, but could not catch Bourbon, who won driven out by a scant length, Wood- land Belle second, three lengths before Adam Andrew, who came very fast the last pait of it. Time, 1:02$. Bourbon was at 12 to 1 (backed f
