joy Rest Before Riding
at Bennings.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.-The major
ity of the leading jockeys who have ridden
in California during the winter will be seen
on the New York tracks this season.
Tommy Burns was the first one to start
eastward. He did not enjoy the success of
former years. and decided that a rest before
the opening of the Bennings meeting would
be beneficial.
Bullman is another good rider who has
been somewhat out of luck. although he
put up some very clever rides. He expects
TO leave within two weeks. and will prob
ably do his first riding at Aqueduct. He
says ne will spend some time in arranging
for the furnishing of his new home at
Sheepshead Bay
Henry Spencer Will ride at Memphis for
Tichenor & Co. according to present ar
rangements. The members of the firm are
anxious to have Adkins. who is under con-
tract. reinstated. but there has been no in
timation that any action will be taken in
the case of the boy. Spencer thinks he will
60 TO New York later in the season. He
will be able to do about 112 pounds.
J. DAILY will ride at Memphis and Kan
eas City for his father. and is likely TO be
on hand for the Gravesend meeting as
Claude is well engaged there.
Hldebrand. who is considered by many to
be the best boy developed in California since
the days of Tod Sloan. will make his first
appearance on the Metropolitan tracks. Aft
er leaving Los Angeles he will ride at Kan
sas City for Joe Yeager, to whom he is
saddle has been brilliant all season. both at
the local tracks and Ascot Park, and. as
he can ride so light, will doubtless have
plenty of mounts wherever he goes Red
fern. who is at Los Angeles, will also be
in New York. and Travers and Oliphant are
among others that will go.
ConneI. recently released by Sandy
McNaughton. has been engaged by Garnett
Ferguson. and will accompany the young
owner of Bear Catcher and other good ones
to Kansas City. Jack Martin is under en-
gagement To Walter Jennings until he ships
to New York. which will be about April l.
IL is understood the clever light weight will
ride for w. b. Leeds and Andrew Miller

Fined for ILLEGAL Selling.

An adjourned hearing was held Tuesday
| in the matter Of the charge against ID. w
/ Wilbur, a granite cutter, charged with
/ furnishing intoxicating liquor without a
| license.
The witnesses in behalf OF the prosecu-
ton, two in number, testified to being
present in the room of one Kennedy in the
Bascom House when Mr.. Wilbur produced
bottle Of whiskey and gave the same to
one OF the witnesses. A game of ''pedro'
was in progress and il was testified that
Mr.. Wilbur refused to take the money,
and one witness testified that he did not
see any money pass, and the other testified
that he put the money on Mr.. WIlbur's
knee. The point OF whether any pay
ment was made does not seem material in
view Of the decision made last week by the
supreme court in the Montpelier case that
furnishing included ''giving."
The respondent produced no testimony,
but simply entered plea OF not guilty.
Justice Flint found in the testimony
that Mr.. Wilbur was guilty and imposed
the minimum fine of $500 and costs. An
appeal was taken and bail furnished by A.
4. Wilbur Of Calais, brother, in the sum
OF $3.50.
The law provides in this respect fine OF
not less than $500 or imprisonment or both,
but does not name any maximum, so that
on the face OF the law a fine might be inn
posed Of a million dollars. II is this feature
OF the law upon which the claim of uncon-
is based and is point that
must soon be decided by the supreme
court, before which now a claim on this
question is pending.
