Card at Los Angeles
EXCUSES FOR AN ERROR

Track Furnishes an I'm
usual Amount of Sensation

LOS ANGELES. March Having
offered full and ample apology to the
judges of Ascot Park for contempt of
authority. Jockey Arthur Redfern was
reinstated to-day and rode in the last
race on the card
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
in 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 apology is sufficient to
purge him of the ill-advised act of con-
tempt for the authority of the Los
Angeles Jockey Club. The ruling
against him is rescinded."
The disbarment against the jockeys
father still is in force.
