THE WEBBERS' DAY
The Brothers Rode Four
Winners.
FAVoRlTES WERE RIGHT IN 1T.
Sir Reel Ran Remarkably Good Race
Yesterday, Beating st. Croix
With Ease.

little brother Charley rode the winners of
three of the other five races.
The boys scGoped four out of the six
dasheS, but tins does not break their rec
ord. On two occasions at East 81. Louis
either one OF the other rode winner in
every race.
The fields averaged small, but the warm
and cheerful weather, coupled with good
track, made the conditions for interesting
racing very favorable.
The talent fared very well, picking and
backing the winners OF tour OF the races.
The first event, a sprint of FIVE furlongs,
was responsible for the defeat of the first
favorte. 1t was Jack the Ripper. and the
way he ran indicates that he has either
gone back on the form he displayed at Oak
land or else he was the recipient Of pill
calculated to make him drowsy.
Nicholas who rode him, stood to win con-
siderable money on him, and he feels worse
over The defeat OF the Unklndly named horse
than most of thoss people who were ignor-
ant enough to accuse him of pulling.
Some shrewd reople backed Volta very
heavely AT 3 and 21a 10 l, and they certainly
knew something. Spence broke off in front
TO an indifferent start, and being never
headed won by length and a half from
Angelo, that beat Aeroite II half length for
the place. Aerolite ran an eXceptionallv
several lengths behind Volta, at flagfall.
The Ripper ran well until lie struck the
head Of The stretch. where he collapsed.
Annie Moore, an odds on favorlte, won
the slX-furlgng dash in q common gallon,
and thereby brought Joy to that part Of tho
talent which had pinned their faith on Jack
the Ripper.
WebbeI got Moore out in front in run
ming start and she led her poor field three
lengths into the straight. There Webber
paSpn her nd .ha won bu
North, wh0 beat Joe three-quarers of
length for place money.
Jockey Claude Burlinghame is more for
tunate buying racehOrses than he is riding
them in driving finish. He bought that
sulker SIT Heel from Porter Ashe on Thurs
day and yesterday started him in the mile
dash against St CrOiX, Nellie q and Stead
fast and got The money.
ST. CroiX caught the talents money at
TO 3. They played him for good thing so
perslstent!y that as post time he was 1 TO
? choice. He was cOncedDg Sir Reel bit
OF weight, and as the field was small many
thought the Sir would run kindly and beat
the Saint. They backed their opinions at
) to l, and had not only the pleasure Of
winning their wagers but of seeing Sir
Reel run the fastest mile OF the meeting.
Charley Webher shot him to the front at
flagiail, and he Immediately commenced to
get away fr'm his field. At the quarter
lie was leading couple of lengths, Lut the
lCSb VI AiIc JDuiutN lie leu Cl. ATOlA, WHO
worked into second position, three lengths.
Sir Reel won as lie pleased from ST. Cr0ix,
who was ridden hard all the way home.
Nellie q was third four lengths back. The
official time, which Is at fault Gu more occa-
siUus than necessary, made the mile :42K
while dozens Of horsemen made it I:4Il%
IL way fast mile anyhow, and stamped SIR
Reel as good one when in humOr.
The next event at The same distance was
won easily by the favorite, Charmer. Only
ffNrnn tttA 20, Il
was favored Tor the place, was beaten for it
in the drive home by half length. The
run was made in the slow time OF :46lb
The two-YeaE-Oid event went 10 Silver
State, another well-backed fayorite. She
had an Indifferent field behind her. and
naturally beat them with ease. Cherokee
finished second couple OF lengths aft, he
beating J0yi;a four lengths. Remus again
had LOT OF backing, but he proved himself
dog.
The twO-yeaT-oli Thornhill was the tin
ID the last race. lie was asked to beat aged
sprintcrs Ike Jim X, LHdi, Mount Carlos ;
but tile public became confident Of his
ability to do s0. and backed him from twos
TO eyenS. He is very game colt and CON-
ing through his horses in tie stretch stood
hard drive and eventually won from Lodi
in nip-aud-uck finish by nose. Jim Il,
who dId not bv any means Iuu up to his
true form, was third.
