New Orleans Races - American Turf
Congress-Pittsburg Represented
at American League Meeting.

BY winning two games from the South
Washington Business Mems Club last night
the bowling team Of the Jolly Fat Mems
Club managed to hang on to their position
at the second notch in the District League
race. The contest was a very pretty one,
both teams putting up good scores. and
though the home team was victorious but
once they have the honor of securing the
highest total, by running SS7 in the second
game. The match was notable throughout
for the large number of strikes, and both
sides did we'll in this respect.
''Old Reliable Kidd, the veteran of the
league was away off his customary average
and failed to help his team out when good
scores were needed, and Walters, new
man on the five. was weak II all save the
second game But the other men Of the
South Washington aggregation came to the
front and center and delivered the goods
in every case where they were needed. The
Fats were also handicapped somewhat liz
off work, most of which was accounted for
however, by the unusual number of splits
which fell to the lot of this generally ex-
cellent player The rest of the visitors
found the alleys quite to their liking. and
improved their personal averages quite ma
terially
After the match was over Garrett Green,
the great New York bowler. whose circle of
Washington acquaintance is already be-
yond a normal limit, gave an exhibition of
how the game ought to be played. He had
Ludwig of the Fat Mems Club a running
mate, and the two men played a pretty
series.
The results of the league match are as
follows:

REDFERN'S RAPID RISE.
How Jockey Jumped From $50 a
Month to $2o, 900 Year.

There is an interesting story in Jockey
Redfern's jump from a salary of $50 a
month to a salary Of 500 ,OOc year, as told
in the st. Louis Star.
The young boy first intimated that he had
a liking to ride the fast thoroughbreds at
the age Of fourteen years.
1t was during meeting at one of the
California courses that he went to a stable
of one of the horsemen there and accepted
mounts as an exercise boy.
A year passed by, with Arthur galloping
the fast runners around the course.
In his exercising Of the horses 1t was
seen that the boy seemed to be a good
judge Of pace. and winter before last doc"
H. E. Rowell, well known to st. Louis
turtles who was racing string of horses
at the coast at that time, secured the serv-
ices of Redfern to accept mounts at $50
month.
Redfern rode horses for Rowen in many
races, but little was thought of the rider
at that time.
Rowell, in addition to having the services
of Redfern, had another boy under con-
tract. and to the latter the best mounts
were given.
During Redfern's riding on the coast his
work was watched by James Handy, other
wise known as Busy Jimmy"
Handy learned that the boy was getting
only nominal salary for the riding he
was doing, and taking an interest in the
young rider. sought the boys father to get
his release from Rowell.
He told the parent that Arthur could
make more money riding as a free lance.
Rowell did not care to let the boy CO. but
after much difficulty the rider was releas ed
After Redferns release his father took
him to ride on the Canadian circuit
an his mounts at that time he displayed
fine jockeyship, and during his riding there
a contract was signed for him to ride for
James e. Pepper for two years at salary
of $4,000

for the riders services horsemen who saw

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Death Fails to Make Good in Grand
Coup

Death threa tened to visit the bookmakers
at the Crescent City track at New Orleans
Yesterday, afternoon, but after he had
scared them nearly into fits he passed them
by The famous old horse, winner of many
a hard race last winter was the medium
of plunge that drove his odds from II to
down to 3 to l.
Harry Robinson, owner of Death, planned
a big coup with his horse in the fourth
race He figured that his horse could east
ly beat Golden Rule. the heavily weighted
fayorfte, so he bet on the horse to win a
small fortune
Death carried all the earmarks of horse
inoculated with the fiery. persuasive
dope He was dripping with sweat and
covered with foam. He rushed away from
the barrier like locomotive. and showed
the way for nearly half mile. By that
time the fiery dope" had spent it's force
and Deaths ardor cooled with it. He stop
ped suddenly in the stretch, and Golden
Rule galloped home easily with his J43
pounds up. Antonius beat Death out for
the place
The stewards did not like the sudden
change in Deaths speed-heretofore he had
moved like an ice wagon-and they warned
his owner after the race against "inconsist-
ency In form"
1t was very pleasant afternoon in many
respects The weather was delightful, the
track fast. and better than all, the tai
ent said, was the great success of the ia
vorite. The good soil was greatly fancied
by the choices. and four of them, heavily
played, won cleyerly. The other two races
were secured by second choices.
While at exercises in the morning Jack
De Mund wheeled with his boy and dashed
madly around the track the reverse way.
Before My Surprise. a two-year-old, owned
by Durnell & Herr. could get out of the old
horses way, there was a collision. from
which the youngster suffered broken
shoulder.

NEW YORK TUNNEL PROSPECT.

Less Than Three Years.

A dispatch from Philadelphia, Pa. yester-

which a shield Is gradually advanced into
the excavation, while construction of the
tunnel is carried on behind it. Excavation
in front of the shield is made through aper-
lures by the aid of compressed air, and as
rapidly as material is removed the shield
Is driven ahead by easy stages. The tubes
will be of cast iron, two inches thick, lined
with concrete two feet in thickness. After
this construction is completed openings will
be made at intervals in the bottom, through
which will be sunk screw piles to give the
proper foundation.
