Redfern made written apology for his refusal to obey the order of the judges | last Friday when he was instructed to take the mount on Laureatea. He ex- cused his action on the plea that he had obeyed the orders of his father Im preference to the judges, but made acknowledgment of his error, and begged for reinstatement. Judge Ham- ilton thereupon made the following rul- |ing: “Jockey Redfern has made an | honest statement ‘of the facts in his | case and it is the opinion of the judges that his manly apoicyy is sufficient to | purge him of the ill-advised act of con- ‘lemm for the authority of the Los | Angeles Jockey Club. The | against him is rescinded.” The disbarment against the jockey's | father still is in force. The racing to-day was exceptionally | interesting. The warm weather | brought out a crowd of fully 5000 and the books and the talent broke even |in the matter of picking winners— | three each. The fifth race furnished the sensa- tion of the day. There were but four starters and they ran as if hitched to a four-abreast for a mile. Then Nam- tor and Mezzo drew away a length and fought it out to a nose finish. Namtor got the decision in the last jump from Mezzo, C. B. Campbell third. Fortu- natus, the heavily played favorite, was fourth. The fourth race brought out a field of good ones with Felipe Lugo favorite and Formaster second choice. Ocean | Dream and Fustlan were heavily backed. Sais, at 6 to 1, won handily, Fustian second and Columbia Girl | third. Glenrice, Dargin and Miss Betty were the winning favorites. Weather fine, track fast.

SAILOR KNOT IS HEAVILY PLAYED AND DEFEATS SOLANUS BY A NECK Magrane’s Handpress Downs a Clever Field of Sprinters. S T Five events were run off ifi the sloppy going at Oakland yesterday without any abnormal plunges being indulged in by the crowd, but the last was quite a spirited betting af- fair. M. J. Daly sent Sailer Knot to the post for seven othér owners to unravel, and from 2 the odds dropped under the force of a terrific fusillade to 9 to 10. Mike Daly thought his colt would win the length of the grand stand, and after a furious drive Johnny Daly just managed to drop him in a head before Solanus, with Jack Martin up. Both riders indulged in some jockeying-through the stretch, with Daly finally carrying off the hon- ors. Toledo was a starter in the race, but that's about all. Purses went to but two favorites. Hirtle and Blackthorn were the long- est priced winners of the afternoon. The usual Monday crowd witnessed the sport. Hirtle, a mare that performed very creditably at the Seattle meeting last summer, took the opening event. Her odds receded from 3 to 7 and 8, and, well handled by Buxton, who downed the favorite, Nellie Bawn, almost eas- ily. Virgie d’Or finished third. No- nte, with Martin up, was again a starter, but either the weight or the mud prevented the mare from show- ing to any advantage. Rustic Girl showed little speed. Barney Schreiber’s big brown colt, Inspector Halpin, said farewell to the maiden class in the kindergarten event. In previous' races the Inspec- tor always displayed an inclination to loiter on the way. In this last es- say, though, Bullman got him away well and, leading throughout, downed Escobosa, the second choice, a length. Hooligan finished third. The winner, coupled with Mildred B, ruled favor- ite in the betting at odds of 2% to 1. Travers, on Billy Moore, an 8 to § choice played down from 3, threw away the seven-furlong selling affair. He did not do it intcntionally, buthas yet to learn how to cut the stretch turn with- out cunning his mount out to Shell Mound station. Blackthorn, a horse backed one day last week In heavy going, ridden by Sheehan, was returned the winner at 81, to 1. Blackthorn pre- ters sloppy going, such as it was yes- terday, but at that played in extremely good luck. The favorite had him beaten until Travers made his brilliant turn into the strétch”on Billy Moore. | This gave Sheehan a new lease of life, and he kept the tiring black horse going long enough to lead the favorite out a neck. Ripper took the place from Assessment. Sunello had a leg that prevented him from doing anything. Only because Bonner, on David S, outfinished Holbrook did Pat Morrissey lose the mile and seventy-yard run, also decided under selling conditions. The footing looked made to order for old Pat, and the books did an extensive business in pasteboards at odds of 8 to 5. Sue Johnson and The Fretter cut out the running almost to the stretch, where both quit and Bonner, astride David 8, took command. Holbrook then cut loose with the favorite, too, but Bonner outgeneraled him, putting [ David 8 over the plate first by half a length. Frank Woods, under moderate handling, ran a good third. Well, the ride of Jerry Roach on Lansdewne, favorite for the six-furlong selling selection, was certainly the limit, He said he was told not to make too much early use of the gelding, and he didn’t. Instead, Jerry let his mount fall out of the running the length of an electric light mast. Handpress and Alice Carey had the race between them, Johnny Daly reaching home first on the former, half a length in advance of Dr. Rowell’s mare. Flaneur disposed of Lansdowne for the show. NOTES OF THE TRACK. J. Daly ¥on the last two races on Handpress and Sailor Knot. Johnny Bullman came out of his se- clusion long enough to take the two- vear-old event with Inspector Halpin. Jerry Roach got lost in the discard with Rustic Girl and Lansdowne.

OAKLAND, March 7.—Police Judge Samuels has been called upon to de- cide whether the new divorce law providing for interlocutory decrees leaves a couple divorced or married during the year that must elapse be- fore the final decree of divorce can be entered. Mrs. Laura Campbell was a witness called this morning to tes- tify against her former husband, L. D. Campbell, charged with disturbing the peace of Mrs. Hannah Cutler, his former mother-in-law. Attorney W. H. O’Brien, for Camp- bell, objected to Mrs. Campbell testi- fying and cited the law that prohibits a wife from testifying against her husband without his consent, except in Cage of personal violence. The lawyer maintained that as a final de- cree of divorce had not been entered in the Campbells’. case Mrs. Campbell was still his client’s wife, so far as the other law went. The point was so fine that his Hon- or was unwilling to declare offhand whether Mrs. Campbell was married, single or divorced, so far as her standing bore upon the issue before him. Ho postponed the case for a week. —— e ‘Withdraws Its Bid. OAKLAND, March 7.—The bid of the Herring-Hall-Marvin Safe Com- pany to build a vault for the County Treasurer for the sum of $6000 was withdrawn from before the Board of Supervisors to-day.

Many conferences have been held and the local Merchants’ and Manufac- turers’ Association tried to settle the affair, but could not. ———————— YE LIBERTY PLAYHOUSE WILL BE OPENED MONDAY Neill-Morosco Company to Present “A Bachelor’s Romance” on the H First Evening.
