RALBERTS DEFEAT OCCASIONS COMMENT. Sair Francisco, Cal., March 13. The defeat of Ralbert. the favorite in the closing race at Oakland this afternoon, caused a storm of criticism from followers of form. Ouickrich was the only winner bringing profit to the talent. The bush-wackers were the ones who cashed when Wenrick won. Bonaventure jumped the back fence on the way to the post in the two-year-old race and a big flurry ensued iu the betting enclosure. When it had subsided the normal odds prevailed against the youngster. Batidor was the successful medium of a big coup. L. Williams is again on the ailing list. W. Smith, who rode The Lady Rohesia yesterday, has been indefinitely suspended.
