SOCIETY RIDERS AS JOCKEYS.
THEY ACQUIT THEMSELVES FAIRLY
WELL AT ST. LOUIS.
A Great Crowd Assembled to See the
Sport and the NOvIces show Signs
of Nervousness and Ride
Very English.

st. Louis. Mo-, June 9.-Amateur society
riders acted as jockeys in the fourth race
at the Fair grounds to-day, and, attracted
Il big crowd to the track. Barring nerv-
business and a tendency TO sit English,
the gentlemen riders acquitted themselves
pretty well. The race was not very heaV-
lily played by the talent, for they were IN
able to get a line on the jockeys. J.. Wool
sey, a New Yorker. who came especially TO
ride Emma Nc, was fancied, but he let the
mare bolt with him as soon she got out OF
the paddock. This scamper took the edge
off Emma Nc, and landed her as "also
ran"
Six starters paraded before the grend-
stand, and six society youths looked very
fetching in their colors. They got quite an
ovation from the clubhouse veranda, and
went to the post to get the roast of their
lives from the crowd gathered there. About
every jockey on the track was at the post,
and neither the starter nor anyone else
could check the criticisms of the non-pro-
fess.onal riders. After much ducking under
the gate, and several starts without II, the
field got away, with San Bias, at 8 to !,
ahead. G.. Wickham had the mount, and
held his lead well. King Elm, which, on
the strength of former performances, had
been made a 8 TO > chance. was next. II l..
Wickham, who rode the horse, had not for
gotten his whip, things might have been
different. He had spurs, but he did NOT use
them, and King Elm lost by a noS9 with
Denver, ridden by n: Turner, thlr@ IWo
