The Pacific Coast Jockey Club and the
California Jockey Club have decided
that in future at Ingleside and Oakland,
and until further notice, it shall be op-
tional with the judges as to the extent or
disqualification in cases of fouls. 1t has
beena custom for all time when a horse
Is disqualified for foul that he shall be
placed last. Race rack magnates here
have wisely decided to give the judges
power to place horses back a position in
the race instead Of placing them last.
Thus, if two horses are out in front clear
of the field and one bumps the other
without interfering with any other
horse, the judges may reverse the posi-
tions of the two horses without affecting
the position of any other horse in the
race. Should a horse interfere with
more than one horse, his position in the
race may be changed accordingly. In
tentional or willfully foul riding will be
strictly dealt with.

COSTLY SUITE.
for Mrs. Thomas Watson
Worth a Fortune.

NEW YORK, Jan. ia Herald
special from Trenton says: If Mrs.
Thomas Watson becomes reconciled to
her father, Claus Spreckels, she will
have the most luxurious bathroom ever
constructed in America. The thing
and decorations for this bathroom
were viewed today by a delegation of
architects, decorators and sanitary
plumbers from New York and other
places. The bathroom will cost $4,000,
and will be part of a suite of rooms
which Emma Spreckels, daughter of
the sugar king, designed for her own
use after inspecting the famous houses
in all parts of Europe, where she trav-
eled for the sole purpose of getting
ideas for the costly home her father
is erecting on the Pacific Coast. Her
apartments were designed to cost more
than $25O,OO0. Her ideas formed, the
architects were told to try and get all
the materials in this country and the
order for the bathroom finally landed
in Trenton. The concern which re-
ceived the order began work in last
June and now gives an exhibition of
its product.
