WITH THE HORSES.

c. Y Boots. one of the leading own- CTS in San Francisco, has exonerated Jockey Lee Jackson of the charge of pulling the horse Mae Gyle. Jackson is under contract to ride for Green E.. Morris and J. E. Haggin this year and the charge, when it was made, was generally disbelieved. Boots, who made it, says now that he is sure that the boy did no wrong.
 George Bennett says that his great colt, Abe Frank. will be starter in the Latonia Derby, notwithstanding that to win that race may penalize the colt in the American Derby. Bennett says that should the colt go wrong be- fore the Chicago race he will have something to console himself with by having started the colt for and per- haps won the Latonia. event.
 Because of the fines inflicted by the stewards at Bennings the other day, Father Bill'' Daily is quoted as saying that he will retire from the turf at the end of this season. That is a long hwav off.
 George c. Bennett yesterday after noon bet Joe Ullman $1.000 against S10,000 on Abe Frank in the American Derby. MT Bennett is sure of his horse and was anxious to get in on him at the best odds.
 ". c. Whitney's Suburban and Brooklyn Handicap candidate, Bally- hoo Bey ran the fastest mile and a quarter ever run at Louisville this early in the year. yesterday, he reeling off the distance in 2:11. It was a final western trial of the Futurity winner of 1900 for his eastern enga gementS He showed no signs of the ailment which retired him from the turf for a year and pulled up sound in wind and limb. J. E. Madden, his trainer, said last night he was sure starter in both the big events.
 Frank C.. Jones, vice president of the Memphis Trotting association, gives it as his opinion that Ed Geers has win tered John J. Scannell's great trotter
 The Abbott, 2:03I, better than ever in his career. He expects to see the son of Chimes and Nettie King a 2:O3 | trotter and that means that Cresceus
 must look sharp to his 1aureIs in the
 1902 campaign. "Geers is mighty con-
 fldent that his horse will lower his
 record again." said Mir Jones. s:and I
 must say that The Abbott goes freer
 and acts more like he did prior to his
 sickness of last year than at any time since have seen him. He fights for
 his head and can simply fly when his tfalner lets go of him for short brushes
 on the homestretch. This of itself i'm
 presses me that he is no two in three
 trotter, but will stay and fight as lono a series of fast heats as the next 1 horsav

 Lodge. N. E. O. P.

New Haven, April 10.-The annual session of the Connecticut Grand lodge, N. 10. 0. F., closed at [ o'clock last night, after one of the most successful meetings ever held. The attendance reported was far above that of any pre- vious year. There were about 260 dei- egates present from the various lodges about the state.

 ] The number of deaths that have oc- cured during the past year is sixty eight. The next important business to come before the meeting was motion made by one of the Bridgeport dele ] gates that the by-laws be changed so that the annual sessions may be held in any of the lodge rooms in any city or town in the state. As the bylaws now read the meeting shall be held an- nually either in New Haven or Hart i ford
 This motion was defeated after dis cussion that lasted for some time.

coxsWAIN SUSPENDED.
Disobeys Coach. Hanlan's Order and
 Collision Nearly Results. S

William P. Comstock, who steered the Columbia varsity crew at Pough- keepsie last year and who is regard ed as the best coxswain in the uniyer- sity, has been suspended by Coach Hanlan for disobeying orders, which disobedienee might have resulted seri- ously. The coxswain had received definite orders to steer the boat down the right side of the river to prevent accidents with passing tugs and other crews. Comstock steered his boat on the wrong side of the river at dusk and narrowly avoided collision with a crew just before reaching the Cres- cent boat house, where the varsity are quartered. Cbmstock is needed by the crew just now and it is thought that his suspension will be lifted in a week or two.

into possession Of a porcine curio-
slty. The little pig is two years
old, well marked aud Of the Berk
shire breed, but weighs less than a
pound and can be easily carried in

in Chickasha, and is perhaps tia
smallest pig in the world. Mr..
Brooks is very proud Of his acqui-
sition, which was a gift from Dr..
Durland.
