LOCAL TURF GOSSIP. John F. Morse, who officiated as presiding judge at Washington Park and Worth, was tendered a similar position by the Los Angeles officials to serve at their track this winter. The offer was made about three weeks ago, and negotiations were pending until a few days ago, when Mr. Morse was forced to decline the offer on account of the time being inopportune, and his absence would interfere with his business. R. Bradley had Rabunta returned to him yesterday by a jury sitting in Judge Walkers court. Bradley originally sold Rabunta to P. McGuire for a small sum, but when the horse began winning he sued for his recovery on the ground that McGuire, who was handling the horse for Bradley prior to the sale, had made misrepresentations to him regarding Rabuntas value. Boots and Hollenbacks horses were shipped yesterday to San Francisco. L. S. Sires horses were to be shipped on the special that left for New Orleans last Tuesday, but for some reason or other the order was countermanded, and the horses will be kept at Worth for some time. Sidney C. Love was turned over to P. Dunne by J. Arthur at the close of the Worth meeting and is at present quartered at Hawthorne.
