Jockey Redfern's Success.
OF the seven races yesterday four went
! to favorites and the other winners were
fairly well backed. Jockey Redfern start
| ed the day in whirlwind fashion. riding the
| first three winners past the judges. 1t was
| then believed that he had good chance to
| sweep the card, but in the fourth race he
! failed to get anywhere in the money.
! Jockey Eddie Walsh one of Father Bill
| Days boys, made something of name
| for himself by riding two winners. This
| little fellow has boDbed up quite frequently
this summer, and from the way he handled
| Miss Melton and Courtmaid in the fourth
| and seventh races demonstrated that he
will de to watch In both of these events
| Walsh's mounts came from the second
| division, and the timing of the spurts show
! ed unusual wisdom and foresight.
| The stewards of the Benning meeting
| took action yesterday in the case of the
| two year-od Orthodox, whose surprising
| reversal of form Monday caused an imme-
! date investigation. NJ. l.. Hayman, the
reputed owner, appeared at the track yes
| terday and received notice that he had
| been fined $500 for running Orthodox ''uu
! fit in a race last week. and was also in
| formed that a second offense of the kind
| would result in the refusal OF his entries.
Starter Cassidy had another bad day yes
| terday. a majority of the starts being rag
| ged and there is strong suspicion that
| several of the jockeys are seeking suspen-
! sion as the only relief from the trials a
| rider has to endure in the freezing weather
that obtains at present. The little fellows
| all have their eyes on warmer climate IN
| which to spend the winter months. Many
| of them are kept at Benning at the orders
Of tlns 70 hnu tlN- or
! contract. There are two or three at least
! who would welcome suspension for the
| remainder of the meeting.
