J Oakland, Cal., November 19. Jockey Knapp was promptly given a license when be applied for it the California Jockey Club and rode Money Muss, the S to 5 favorite, to victory in the second race at Oakland today. The somewhat lukewarm reception accorded the much discussed" rider when he appeared on the track was quickly changed to one marked by riotously appreciative applause when he returned to the scales after making good for Money Muss backers, without even having given them a moments uneasiness during the running of the race. The rejuvenated Corrigan, almost backed off the boards, accounted for the selling affair that came next. Nagazam, in the last, was the third public choice to score.
