UT-IN" day proved a disas- trous one for the book- makers at Oakland yester- day, as five heavily laden choices crossed the bar on time and dropped anchor. The track was heavy, but it caused no serious inflec- tions in form. The ring was especially hard hit over the wins of Botany and Antolee. Previous to this Axminster, High Chancellor and Bernota by their successive victories had contributed greatly to lightening the bank rolls of the people quoting odds. Only Janice broke the slate. Green Mor- ris' useful mare with 110 pounds and Lee Jzckson in the saddle, received steady support at 4 to 5 to take the mile and a furlong handicap. She ran third after do- ing her best. Johnny Hoar rode a nicely timed rae on Position, the second choice, overhaul- ing and beating Colonel Ballantyne, the pacemaker, with something to spare by less than a length.

Dan Honig's mare, Antolee, trained by his son, ‘‘Peach,” was made the medium of another plunge in the speculating on the closing race, a mile selling event. Trcxler waited with the mare to the stretch, and then cutting loose, assumed the lead, winning by two lengths. Red- wald in a hard drive led out Horton a bead for place honors.

LONDON, April 2.—A Pariamentary pa- per issued to-dgy gives correspondence respecting the comparative merits of the American, British and Belgian loco- motives now in use in Egypt. In a dis- ratch to the Foreign Secretary, Lord Lansdowne, December 3, covering a num- ber of reports received from railroad offi- clals, the British Diplomatic Agent and Consul General in Egypt, Lord Cromer, draws the general conclusion that the main reason why so many orders for rail- way plants have been recently given to the United States is that the American 'ms are able to execute them with ex- ordinary rapidity, due largely to the system of standaraization. - In respect to price, Lord Cromer finds the British firms can hold their own where special designs have to be execui- ed. With respect to the quality of Brit- ish work, it i1s at least equal and often superior to Americ#n and Belgian work, while in consumption of coal the British engines have a decided superiority over the ‘American, though not over the Bel- gian engines. The British manufactur- 3rs weak point is delay in executing or- ers. Johnstone, president of the Rallroad Board, concluding his report with a warn- ing against the condemnation of Ameri- can locomotives because these trials have been unsatisfactory, points out that the Egyptian engineers and firemen are not #0 muscular or intelligent as the Ameri- ‘cans, and that alterations had to be mads to enable them to operate the locomo- tives satisfactorily.

The Board of Public Works has declded to recommend to the Board of Superviso's that an appropriation be made to reduce the width of the sidewalks on each side of Third street from nineteen to fourteen feet. The board assigns as a reason for the recommendation the increased traffic on the thoroughfare. Some time ago it was proposed to remove the buildings several feet back from the sidewalk, but the cost would be Immense. the sidewalks the cnngemonB{n:e%‘:sdr"g lieved in six months.

High Class Entry for This Week’s Card at Union Park At a speclal meeting of the Califorma coursing committee last night at Pythian Castle an added incentive was offered the owners of greyhounds to enter their dogs in the forthcoming show of the San Fran- cisco Kennel Club. 1t was decided to offer two stakes, to be decided at Union Coursing Park, open only to greyhounds exhibited at the bench show. This will afford an opportunity of seéing the dogs in the ring and on the coursing field.. No entrance fee will be exacted. The owners of greyhounds were urged to make liberal entries by President J. H. Rosseter of the Interstate rsing Club. L. A. Klein, manager of the bench show, also addressed the meeting. 1t 13 hoped to secure an entry of one hundred greyhounds.

Paul Morton, second vice president and traffic director of the Santa Fe Railway, arrived here yesterday and is at the Pal- ace. He has been visiting Southern Cali- fornia, and while there met President E. H.'Harriman of the Southern Pacific. Morton says that there is no truth in the rumor that the rallway magnates of this country are opposed to President Roosevelt and that they will try to de- feat him should he run for another term. In reference to the case that is now be- irg tried in which the railroad men are charged with violating both the inte: state commerce and the Sherman anti- trust laws, Morton says that they feel that they should be allowed to pool busi- ness should they so desire. He says that the Santa Fe {s anxious to secure an entrance into Oakland, as it feels that business would be increased materially by the move. Morton is accompanied by his wife, T. P. Shomts, one of the owners of the In-| disna, Illinois and Iowa Ralilroad; J. J. Byrne, general passenger traffic manager of the Santa Fe:; E.

Rodgers, relict of “Ducksy” Rosenbaum, yesterday com- menced her threatened action for divorce against Harry A. Rodgers, an adyertising agent. The marriage was celebrated last November and was a great surprise to the friends of the contracting parties, for the couple had met but a few days before the wedding. Rumors have been rife concern- ing family difficulties since the first of this year and the suit for divoree has been expected for many days. Mrs. Rodgers’ compaint 1s a recital of alleged conversations in which Rodgers evidently got the better of the talk, for she alleges that his language caused her great mental anguish. Mrs. Rodgers al- leges that while at the Si. Nicholas Hotel her husband, in the presence of her sister, Mrs. erasa Par numnxaleg her by yelling at the top of his voice. This hap- pened on the night of January 2, and on the night o nu , aileges Mrs. Redgers e repeated offense at their home at 2107 Vallejo street. Threw Servant Girl Down. M. Rodgers further alleges that on that occasion Rodgers attacked the ser- t girl for interfer! in her behalf, truck her and threw her to the floor. On another occa n, she alleges, that while they w dining at their home he humili- ated her by calling her names in the presence of a guest and by throwing meat and other victuals around the room. Rodgers, according to his wife's com- plaint, was not very choice in his selec- tion of expletives. He called her, she al- leges, “a foc “‘a miser,” “a she devil” and *a tight.” He also told her on nu- merous occasions, she alleges, that she “was an old good-for-nothing." Mary Sullivan is ning Jeremiah Sulli- van, to whom she was married in May, 1900, at Alameda, for divorce on the ground of cruelty. Mrs. Sullivan charges her husband with telling her ““to pack her trunks and go” and with saying to her, “You will go out this ho a dead woman if you don’t do as I sa Mrs. Sullivan further charges her husband with refusing to chop wood for her when she was ill. Wife Left Him in London. 3. Handyside, who was married to va Handyside at Sevenoaks, Kent, England, In 1557, brought suit for divorce yesterday on theé ground of desertion. He alleges that his wife left him at London, England, in Mary L. Ange suing George Angelo for divorce for i®llure to provide. They were married at Antioch in 1883 and have four children. Mrs. Angelo. alleges: that in July, 1900, her husband deserted her and that since that time she has had to depend upon her own exertions for the support of herself and children. Suits for divorce were also filed yester- day by John J. Reilly against Marle Reil- Iy for desertion: Louise Palmer against thur B. Palmer for infidelity and Ida Bruskey against John Bruskey for failure to provide. Jette G. Johnson is suing for the_annulment of her marriage fo Martin J.
