March 4.—A full- fledged sensation developed to-day at Ascot. Jockey Arthur. Redfern, held by many turf authorities to be the best lightweight rider in America, was ruled off the turf, together with his: father, W. W. Redfern. The offense for which Redfern received this extreme penalty was disobedience of the orders of the Judges. Presiding Judge A. W, Ham- iltoninstructed Redfern to ride Lau- reatea in the last race of the day and’ asked him if he had any objmmnll to the horse. The jockey replied that he had not, but would see his father, who looks after his interests. A few moments afterward Redfern Sr. sent word that Arthur would not ride Lau- reatea. Judge Hamilten issued a for- mal order to the clerk of the scales, in- structing him to put Redfern on Lau- Redfern Sr. came to the | judges’ stand and stated that his boy would not ride the horse. Judge Ham- ilton called his attention to rule 204, giving the judges the right to put any rider they rhnse on a horse. Redfern Sr. replied: “That makes no differ- ence; my boy will not ride Laureatea,” giving no excuse for his refusal. Judge Hamilton immediately called an officer and instructed him to take up W. W. Redfern's badge and put him off the track. An official ruling ferns fr the turf. Redfern’s refusal to ride Laureatea is said to have been the result of a dis- agreement some time ago wWith the mare’s owner, J. Peiter. Pelter also owns Chub and Redfern asked to be ellowed to ride him in his last race. Pelter had engaged a rider, however,] | and refused to give Redfern the mount. This is said to have aroused the en- mity of Redfern Sr. Judge Hamilton stated that he had proceeded under rules 204 and 205, tha turf rules which give the judges no dis- eretion in the matter of a refusal to obey orders, and that no middle course was open to him, :s the rules men- tioned specifica say “‘shall be -uled off.” It was an off day for favorites, only one out of six getting home in front This was Buccleuth in the last race, which won handily from Dolly Weit- hoff and Emshee in the order named. The race of the day, the Green Meadow handicap, at six furlongs, fur- nished the biggest surprise. Baldwin's Cruzados, the extreme outsider in the betting, came from the rear in the stretch and won by a length from g, with Goiden Rule third. Cruzados was 15 to 1. A world of money was lost on Golden Rule and Ocean Dream, the latter of which ran a poor race. Hildebrand rode three winners, Mountain twq and Booker one. On the whole, the books had much the better argument. Weather perfect; track fast.

Annie Anderson, sister of Charles An- derson, the Klondike millionaire who was sued for breach of promise by Alma de Bretteville, the artist, filed an affidavit yesterday in which she asks permission to publish the summons di- recting Anderson to appear and answer the suit for $5000 she brought against him some months ago. She alleges that he is still in Dawson, and therefore cannot be reached by personal service. | Miss Anderson is suing to recover SATURDAY, MARCH 11 TURF FOR DISOBEDIENCE ISAD SAM GOES BACK IN THE BETTING. Waterh Be Decided To- Day. Sad Sam, the jungle demon, earnéd more honors by capturing the six-fur- long handicap at Oakland yesterday, shouldering Sherwood and 114 pounds. Harry Green’s sprinter opened up an evén-money chance, and when the odds stretched to 9 to 5 the market became panicky, and those who cimbed aboard at the opening quotations were looking for a fireplage to toast their feet. How- | ever, the alarm’ proved a falséone, for Sad Sam jumped away in the lead, as .usual, and while Jimmy Jones. on the lightweight Soufriere clung as closely to him as a porous plaster adheres to the spinal column, the favorite beat the clever filly out a head. The Don, a bit tardy about . getting into his stride, closed strongly, finish- ing less than two lengths/back. Stilicho was well supported, but could not ne- Botlate the cuppy going. ‘BOOKIES ARE HARD HIT. . The books encountered some ! squally weather, as five out of six public choices docked first, all well backed. The attendance was good, and there wag no paucity of coin in the ring. , There were several absentees from the opening sprint, which left Jimmy Coffey’s colt Ocyrohe a 6 to 5 favorite. He won, but was given a strong ar- gument by the 6 to 1 shot Riesca. In a long, driving finish Willie Daly land- ed the first choice winner by a head. Dell Fountainis Salto ran an ordinary third. Everybody thought Gloomy Gus would have an easy thing in taking the two-year-old dash, but he didn't. The books held the Burns & Waterhouse youngster a 7 to 10 chance, and in an- other driving finish he just did last long enough to down Light of Day a neck. Steel Wire gave out early, los- ing the show to Escobosa, a 60 to 1 shot. Constellator opened favorite for the seven-furlong selling number, but ds Gruwell has yet to show that he pos- sesses ability to pilot. winners, the gelding’s price receded in the betting. Charley McCafferty’s Flaneur. with Bonner in the saddle, finally closed favorite and, after leading: throughout, won with a little to spare from Mar- elio. Jack Martin, on Decoy, a 10 to 1 chance, only lost the place by a nose. GRUWELL'S POOR RIDE. Gruwell could do nothing with Con- stellator, finishing back in the bunch. It begins to look as if The Fretter has had his day. If within ten pounds of his best form, Frank O'Rourke’s Brutus horse looked good enough to | dispese of the bunch starting in the mile and a furlong number. e was accordingly backed down to 9 to 5 fa- voritism and finished absolutely last, after being miserably handled by Sherwood. Fille d'Or, a 30 to 1 out- sider, with C. Smith on her back, passed Nellie Bawn on the far turn and for a time looked all over a win- ner. Tiring, though, as the paddock was approached, Expedient led the mare out a neck. Elmer L‘downed the well played Cloche d'Or for the show. “Doc” Kyle finally landed a race with Keynote. The Eastern horse met an ordinary collection of platers in the concluding mile and a sixteenth | run and at odds of 7 to 10 galloped in first by six lengths. Ulloa took the place from Theodora L by a head. NOTES OF THE TRACK. Jack Martin piloted two winners, Escobosa was 100 to 1 at one stage of the betting on the two-year-old race. Wiggins, the filly formerly owned by Willie Sink, was heavily backed to take the opening event. She was prob- ably a trifle short. The California Jockey Club received official notification from the Crescent City Jockey Club, New Orleans, yester- day stating:that the entries of Tommy Griffin had been ordered refused, His trainer, McCloskey, is indefinitely sus- pended. Tommy's troubles were brought about by substituting a scrubby-looking filly in the paddock at New Orleans for Sweet Pepper. This trick caused the odds to recede and, when the money had all been bet, the real Sweet Pepper was led into the paddock. Distance events are always popular, and the Waterhouse cup, at two miles and a quarter, down for decision this afternoon, should attract one of the largest crowds of the season. Among the starters are Our Bessie, the crack Texas mare; game little Horton, win- ner of a Burys handicap; Horatius, winner of last year's Seattle derby, and | Grafter, another useful performer. Barney Schreiber will be represented | by Lacy Crawford, and Jimmy Coffey will take a try for the rich stake with Rio Shannon. Veterano likes a route and will be a certain starter.

The members of the San Francisco Model Yachting Club are making great preparations for the formal | opening of the racing season on the new Spreckels lake in Golden Gate Park. This most important event among sailers of the small craft will take plaec on some Sunday during this month. The date has not been fixed as get, but the commodore has announced that it will take place in a couple of weeks. The new lake was tried out last Sunday for the first time since it has had the necessary four feet of water. | Sailing accommedations were found | much better than on Stow Lake, where the model yachting has pre- | viously been done. Many of the model boats were out for the first time on Spreckels Lake and the owners, one and all, declared | that the new body of water could not be improved upon for racing pur- poses. | An impromptu trial race between four of the best boats in the fleet fur- nished the closest and most exciting race ever held in the park. The | course was an 1800-foot one and the fact that all four models finished within a space of five foot shows how close the finish was. The first two boats were inches apart at the finish. + The four contending boats were the Imp, owned by Commodore Henry the Sautee, owned by L. S. Adams; L. E. Gaudy's Zulu and B. Jurgens’ new Zampa. The Imp car- ried off the honors, but was hard pressed by the Sautee. The Zampa was fouled and finished last. = This new model was in fast company, but !made an excellent showing on its first time out. ' Many new models were in evidence | during the day. H. S. Brindle was out {with a new Brooklyn-built sloop called the Don 1II. She is fifty-nine iinches over all and resembles the Don I, which was built on such grace- ful lines. The latter boat was suc- cessful two years ago on Stow Lake ’and the owner expects its successor 06 | prove even faster. | The Humboldt II was another new model seen for the first time on Sun- day. She was built by James Greig of the Humboldt Evening School. She is the largest boat in the club, meas- uring 7914 inches over all.'She showed considerable speed in the trials on is;md-y. | London; | ————— To Suppress Disorderly Houses. The Police Commissioners yesterday submitted the drafts of two proposed ordinances for the suppression of im- morality and covering points which are not provided in the Penal Code nor in the book of general ordinances. The first ordinance prohibits the letting of bulld{m or premises to be-used for immoral purposes and is designed to place the responsibilty on the owner of such property. The second ordi- nance prohibits the visiting of disor- derly houses.

His present intention is to settle down to training on Tues- day next. This will allow him but fif- teen days in which to prepare himselt‘1 for what is conceded to be a hard bat- tle. It was thought the lesson he learned when he fought Hanlon the first time would ‘make him cautious. but it did not have a lasting effect, had experienced men behind him that night -the general opinion is that he would have won, as he caught his op- ponent entirely out of form. ‘When Corbett fought McGovern here he was eleven pounds overweight five days before the contest and was mak- ing no effort to get down to the re- quired figures. He was finally in- duced to take a serious view of the situation and weighed in safely at the appointed time. There is a suspicion that Corbett holds Britt lightly and that he thinks a little training will carry him through safely. This confidence is likely to prove his undoing some day when he is caught napping by some strong, am- bitious youngster. Ten miles on the road at a fast clip was part of the exercise taken by Britt in his training work yesterday in Alameda. With Fred Landers he took to the highway in the morning and traveled from Croll’'s Gardens to Fruit- vale and return. After an easy rub- down Britt rested until 3 o'clock, when he went into the gymnasium. There he pummeled the punching bag for half an hour and mixed with Landers for six fast rounds. Jimmy did not go at Landers as viclously 4s he intends t5 later on, for the reason that Landers is preparing himself to meet Lynn Trescott, the Australian, in a ten- round preliminary to the Woods-Kelly battle before the Sequoia Club of Oak- land next Tuesday night. Landers is availing himself of Britt's cleverness and expects to make his opponent long for the land of the kangaroo after their contest. Frank Rafael is domiciled at Croll's Gardens and is regdy to stand all kinds of heavy work as sparring part- ner for the Californian. ———— . BAY CITY CLUB PRESENTS AMATEURS OF ALL KINDS Good Humored Crowd Howls at Lu- dicrous® Sights Created by Clown- Like Fighters. The Bay City Athletic Club’'s bill of boxing last night unique one, in which amateurs with and without skill were seen in the ring. The first match was a four-round dispute between Frank Dell and Wil- | liam Brannan. The two men put up a ludicrous bout and after four rounds of clown-like pantomime the decision ‘was given to Dell. James Leary of the Diamond Ath- letic Club and George Cole were the next pair. They put up a rattling good fight for four round, when Leary was declared the winner for his ag- grossive work. Young McClure and Carl Winters went a few while it lasted, but a stiff right to the jaw sent Winters to the long count in the first round. Ben Price and Arthur Oliver of the heavy-weight division fought two rounds, when Oliver knocked his man out. Harry Tenny put Manual Torres to sleep in the second round with a smashing left to the jaw. Torres put up a great go and is as quick as chain lightning. The men fought with the agreement to protect themselves at all times. The knock-out came in a breakaway and Torres hit the mat as if shot. He was carrled to his corner and it was some minutes before he re- gained consciousness. The main event was between Jack O’'Brien and Jack O'Brien. Jack O’Brien won. One of the men was from the Telegraph Hill Club and the other hails from the Brooklyn Club. The south of the slot man successfully defended the reputation of his neigh- borhood and was given the decision by forcing the fight. —————— Rebels in Uruguay Defeated.

TO INVADE SOUTHERN PACIFIC TERRITORY Santa Fe Preparing to Bid for Northe ern California Deciduous Fruit Shipments. The Santa Fe Railroad, through the medium of the Santa Fe Dispatch, & subsidiary company of the railroad, has announced its intention of enter- ing Northern California as a formid- able competitor of the Southern Pa- cific in the handling of all kinds of deciduous fruit. J. S. Leeds, manager of the dispatch company, arrived from Chicago last evening and admittted at the Palace that he is here to bid for | fruit shipments. He said: “We have no particular grievance against any one and do not intend to inaugurate a battle royal, as some may think. We simply want our pro- portion of the business. There is no truth in the statement that we have | purchased river steamers, but as the Sacramento River is a waterway open to any one and there is a great amount of fruit grown along that river, it is likely that we will make an effort to secure a portion of the business orig- inating in that district. We consider |that we have the best refrigerating cars in operation, about 4000 in num- | ber, and with our own rails from Cal- | ifornia to Denver, Kansas City, St. Joseph and Chicago and with an abundance of experience, we believe |that we should have a share of the | fruit business from the northern part | of this - State.” Mr. Leeds stated that in all proba- bility Antioch would be selected as a | point for handling the Northern Cal- | ifornia fruit, it being particularly ad- | vantageous in the way of temperature |in moving fruit down the river into ithg colder atmosphere of the bay. | —_——— | WASHINGTON BANKRUPT i TAKEN INTO CUSTODY Alexander Isaacs, Adjudged Guilty of Contempt, Is Arrested on Bench ‘Warrant.
