OF INTEREST TO
BUSINESS MEN

After determining that you have COM
modify to sell. or a service to offer that
would find buyers, the first thing to DO Is
to find the newspaper In which that COM
modify or service can be proftaby ad-
vertlsed.
The advertisement and the readers OF
1t must come together by channels mu-
tualIy respected. The newspaper has a
welcome accorded to it in the office, the
shop, the store and the home that Is not
accorded to any other publication. The
reasons are obvious. News, everything
of present Interest, commands an atten-
ton which no other form of printed mat
ter can command. ..-.
The newspaper Is then by preference
the great advertising medium of the
world. In the choice of newspapers we
must give preference to those conducted
in the public interest, in the welfare of
the people, consistent In efforts to serve
the public welfare, to promote education,
a high standard of political conduct, a
standard of business conduct that exalts
a community; a recognition Of justice and
equity In all walks Of life; a newspaper
service that Is sensitive to all the laws
of honor as it prevails among competitors
In commercial life.

The plans for the coming Of Com

ARRIVAL OF GREAT DICK WELLES
CAUSES INTEREST In BIG HANDICAP.
Worlds Fair Chances the Various Contestants Are
Now Topics of Discussion Among Sporting MenPromse for
Event Is That All the Eastern Entries Will Be Represented

The arrival of Dick Welles q the Fair
Grounds last Thursday caused discussion
OF the Worlds Fair Handicap, to be run
at the Fair Grounds June a5
The son of King Eric has been the ia
vorite in all the future books on the big
event. being held at surprisingly short
price. considering the fear that he does
not like the route OF a mile and quar-
ter. But one of his owners is said to be
interested in one of the big future books.
and the fact that this book showed dis
position to favor Dick Welies was a suf-
ficient cue for the other future operators.
and they kept the horse at just as short
a price.
There have been encoura ging reports Of
the work of the horse this spring. but
when he arrived at the Fair Grounds 1t
was suddenly discovered that he had been
blistered on the shoulder for a muscular
contraction.
1t is strange that news of this never
came from Cincinnati while the horse was
stabbed there. as it would appear natural
that anything of such Importance in con-
nection with so great a horse as Dick
Welles could not be easily overlooked, but
the attaches of Jerome Respass's stable
are closely inclined bunch, and even
since the horses arrival here, he has
been carefully guarded from public OBJ
servaton.
Enough Of him has been seen. however.
to indicate that the horse is not now
ready, but at the same time. It is far
from an impossible task to get him ready
for bruising race on June 25.
Like all speedy, free-running horses,
Dick Welles Is not hard to At. He works
willingly and as hard as his rider sees
ft to let him. He looks in perfect health,
and there Is no sign Of stiffness or sore
ness in the blistered shoulder. The only
evidence Of the operation is the scar left
when the medicament was taken away.
Simultaneous with the shipment of the
The St. Louis Republic., 1904-06-12

horse from Cincinnati came announce
ments from there and from New York
that the horse would not start in the big
race The reason ascribed was lack of
col citc0. Also came the statement that

pass stable. the willy Jerome thought he

than Dick Welles. This colt, he said.
should have beaten The Picket in tbs
An erican Derby of last year.
BERNAYS A GOOD HORSE.
There is no question that Bernays is .
clever race horse, and that he is in nicely
in the big $4,000 stake with but 100 pounds.
Perhaps he is a better horse that way
weighted than Dick Welles with III But
the race-horse contingent will have to bs
shown.
Despite the wiles of the future book op-
orators, interest in the race is of the
keenest and healthiest sort. Nearly every
box on the second tier Of the great grand
stand at the Fair Grounds has already
been reserved for the big stake. These res
ervations have come from all sections OF
the country.
Names set opposite on the book of reser-
vetions are those of the most prominent
sportsmen in the country. Africander will
start and SO will McChesney. Irish Lad
still remains strong probability. though
no announcement, one way or the other
comes from New York on the subject.

There Is one wish in the hearts OF every
one who loves to see the best thorough

and West shall be represented by their
best in this great intersectional struggle.
No such opportunity for such trial Of
strength has ever before been arranged.

hoped for 1t. With the Fair Grounds

when 1t gives all its old stakes and one
valuable new stake, the owners Of the

such things will, no doubt. watch the bat

siduity.

usually an ''easy boss" is not lenient

The card he produced yesterday was con-
aidered good by those who attended the

While the Fair Grounds can draw from
other tracks good horses for its stakes
Union will be obliged to great extent to
depend upon what 1t has on its track at
present. There are NO empty stalls at
Union and as the horses now there can
not race on other Western tracks, they are
not likely to move. As Union is not in the
Western Jockey Club. horses racing under
the club rules cannot race with 1t even
for one event

distance horses and the same number Of
sprinters. Pronta. The Messenger, Bar

Greenoerg and Setauket are the best Of
