The crack lightweight jockey Arthur Redfern came up expressly to ride Eonic in the big stake to-day, but Red- fern Sr. was prevailed upon to allow his son to-ride Princess Titania in the six and a hailf furlong handicap at In- gleside yesterday and the young man came out of it with all the honors. Hildebrand, who rode John A. Scott, boasted of what he would show the Eastern boy, but fell as flat as a toad on a rock of doing so. The track was in & sloppy condition and the price about the Princess went from 3 to 21 to 5. Kenfilworth was asked to carry 122 pounds, but in spite of this/went to the post a 7 to 5 chance. Willie See may be able to ride some horses, but he handles Kenilworth with about as much skill as a truckman would an automobile. It was a two-horse race from the start. Hildebrand went away in the lead with John A. Scott, but Redfern on the Princess never permitted him to get far away. In the stretch when Scott began tiring Princess Titania forged ahead, winning by four open lengths., Kenilworth got away third and never bettered his position. O'Ha- gen was the only other starter. ONE FAVORITE LANDS. Favorites met with poor success, Did- erot being the only one to pick up a purse. The weather was clear and pleasant and there was a large crowd present. Mike Daly turned a warm one loose in the opening event. He sent Sir Tom Tiddler to the post after a long vaca- tion and backed from 20 down to 8 the big Loyalist horse went out and spreadeagled his field. Adirondack finished second, half a length ahead of Boutonniere. Flyer, the 4 to 5 favorite, ran third. Marie J was the next favorite to fall by the wayside. The filly ruled a 3to 2 favorite for the 2-year-old scramble and was easily défeated by Willa, the sec- ond choice, ridden by Hildebrand. Edith Vice took show honors from Del Carina. Larsen rode a well judged race on Decoy, a 6 to 1 chance, receiving a nose decision over Expedient at the finish of the mile and a sixteenth selling af- fair. Expedient, an 18 to 5 favorite, was slow to begin as usual, falling a trifie short at the wire, although no fault could be found with’ Jack Mar- tin’s ride. Norford finished third, rid- den by Gruwell, an apprentice. With an experienced rider in the saddle, the big gelding would have won by himself. ALBEMARLE A WINNER. Uletma, the ‘‘Seattle Interurban,” came dangerously close to winning the five-furlong sprint, for which Muresca had first call in the betting. The ljttle mare made all the running and at the end was only led out a neck by Albe- marle, the second choice, astride which Hildebrand rode a strong finish. Oli- phant rode a weak race on Muresca, Josing the show to Matt Hogan/ Sloppy going was always the long suit of Diderot, and Jack Atkin’'s geld- ing downed Illilouon a nose for the con- cluding race of the day. There was such a steady play on The Fretter that he closed equal chojce with Diderot. For half a mile The Fretter stayed with Diderot, then began falling back and ran unplaced. Illilouon closed strongly and at the finish Oliphant on Diderot was brought to a hard drive to win by a nose. Mr. Dingle finished third. NOTES OF THE TRACK. Hildebrand rode two winners, was once second and twice finished third. Trains will leave Third and Townsend streets for Ingleside to-day at 1 and 1:15 p. ;.

The model yachtsmen are anxiously awaiting the forraal opening of Spreckels Lake in Golden Gate Park. There is at present about two feet of water in the lake and it is expected the necessary four feet will be in by e 22d inst. Arrangements are un- g:ar way for the first big race meet to be held on that date. Many of the small craft have been skimming Stow Lake during the past two weeks, but the sport will be much better when the new lake is ready for use. There is much more wind there than at Stow Lake and the facilities for sailing generally are much bet- ter. The banks of the old lake are not as good for landing as those of the new and the yachtsmen will have less trouble from this source. The time allowance this year will be seven seconds to the inch. With the new measuring machine it will be possible to get the exact measure- ments, and this, with the amount of canvas carried, will determine the allowance. This will work rather a hardship on some of those who have already built large boats. B. Jurgen's Zampa is one of the largest boats, 75 inches, and will have to allow many inches to the shorter boats. Nearly all the craft this year are sloop rigged. Commodore Gunning has a seventy-two-inch model rigged this way and she has proved fast in trial heats. William Brown, the pioneer model yacht owner of San Francisco, has a new miniature yacht called the D. Cerelli. It is a sixty-nine-inch model and is fast, Vice Commodore Henry London is still sailing the Imp. This boat car- ried off many prizes last year and the owner expects it to do the same this vear. L. E. Gaudy and Commoddre i Gunning are sailing the sister boats, Lulu and Witch, every Sunday. | They have been altered since their last ap- pearance and it would be hard to say which i$ the faster. Many of the yachtsmen will be out to-morrow sailing their boats on the new lake. There will be some im- promptu races and the owners will be able to get a line on the different boats. ———— Ewing Signs Schmidt. OAKLAND, Feb. 5.—Henry Schmidt or “Schmidty,” the crack little base- ball pitcher with the sarcastic sile, who made a record with the Brooklyn SCULLER PAPE RETIRES FROM ALL COMPETITION Champion Amateur Leaves Title to Portlander, Who Will Defend It This Year. A. W. Pape, the well-known mem- ber of the Dolphin Boating Club and the Olympic Athletic Club, who has been the amateur champion single- sculler of the Pacific Coast for several years, will probably take part in no more rowing races. He wrote recent- ly to Gloss, the amateur champion single-sculler of the Northwest, who is a member of the Portland Rowing Club, a letter in which he stated that he intends to retire from racing. By the retirement of A. W. Pape, the Portlander becomes the champion amateur single-sculler of the Pacific Coast. He has stated that he is ready to defend the title against all comers, as he does not wish to hold his title of champion merely .by default. He is practicing regularly with a view to be- ing in condition to meet any scullers who may challenge him. He is desir- ous to pull against Fred Ayers of the Alameda Boat Club or any oarsman of Puget Sound. He hopes that Fred Ayers of Alameda and De Brissey of British Columbia will visit Portland during the coming summer at the time of the annual regatta of the North Pacific Association. There is a good prospect that row- ing will be taken up vigorously at Val- lejo during the coming season. “‘Pete” Kaarsberg, formerly a well known baseball and football player of the University of California, is an electri- cal engineer in the Government yards at Mare Island and an active member of the Vallejo Yachting and Boating Club. He has written to the Boating Association of the University of Cali- fornia to arrange for a race between crews representing Vallejo and the university. Two paper shells are be- ing built for the Vallejo Boat Club and it is intended to train the crews care- fully. The class fours of the university are practicing regularly at Oakland Creek, except the freshman crew, which is working on the rowing ma- chines in the gymnasium. The direc- tor of physical culture of the univer- «ity intends to purchase four addi- tional réwing machines, with which an eight-oar combination can be made. Besides the class fours, the university and the second crews will be prepared for the race against a crew representing the University of ‘Washington that will be held on San Francisco waters early during the present year. . e BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 5.—Arrange- ments have been made for the Chicago Natipnal baseball team, - hich will vinter in Los Angeles, to play the Portland (Ure.) club of the Pacific Coast League in on March 17." The latter will do its early training in this city. Jack Huston, who um- pired for the Pacific Coast Northwest League last year, has accepted a posi-, tion for the coming season with the Pacific Coast League. s Ballet girls who live by their feet live above their income.

The Thistles and Vampires will almost certainly win their games to-morrow, so that the relative positions of the two teams will remain unchanged. The Independents draw the bye to- morrow and so have no chance of in- creasing their score.

The champion Presidio ball team will line up against a picked nine of the alumni players from Stanford and from the University of California at the Presidio grounds this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and the meeting should prove to be one of the best amateur ball games of the year. Overall, the noted Berkeley twirler, will probably pitch for the college men. Should he be unable to appear Parker of Stan- ford will do the box work. Forsyth is carded to shoot the curves for the sol- diers.

Young Corbett seems to be showing the way. He is rolling in wealth again, wealth won in six-round bouts with the bookmakers, and from long practice the role -of Prince Fortunatus comes naturally to him. He had his first chance to outshine Jimmy on Thurs- day. A subscription list is being passed around for Joe Mone, an invalid well known about the sporting resorts. In due time the list reached the €ali- fornian and he promptly put his name | down for 320. The bearer of the list, knowing human nature, lost no time in hunting up Young Corbett. The champion glanced over the list carelessly. but when his gaze fell on the Spencerian signature of Britt, it took him but an instant to affix his signature, that sig- nature which looks so good when it appears at the bottom of a set of ar- ticles for a fight. The amount set op- | posite the name was $25 and the cham- pion said something about “That'll hold him for a time.” Britt was about town yesterday of- fering a premium for a box at a local theater for Monday night. It seems Corbett outgeneraled him here again, as the latter has ome of the stage boxes engaged and will be on hand with a party of guests to wel- come his friends from Broadway. If any one from the queen of beauty to the humblest chorus girl, if there are any humble ones, does not know Wil- le, it is not his fault. . Corbett is credit-d with having ad- ded $6000 to his bankroll at the track yesterday. As he has money in plenty, an automobile and a prizefight on his hands, Britt is unable to see how he can take the center of the stage from the little gladiator, but he intends to keep on trying even if he gets a fight on his hands. e ——————— SALVADOREAN BONDS READY FOR DELIVERY Attorney Feigenbaum Corrects an Error Regarding Consul E.
