Burns Leads Jockeys

Along with Carmans collection of
purses, Guy Burns Ypilot for the stable,
was sent to the top of the jockey list,
partly because of the superior horses
under him and partly through his ability
as a post rider. Burns put twelve win
ners over during the seven days racing,
and he is credited with exactly twice as
many firsts as Charlie Ross, who follows
in point of winning mounts. Buxton and
Butwell, who appeared in silks but sell

here in the cos for the late Samuel
G. Wilder and was a personal friend
of the famous DR.. Judd. Speaking of
his career Sacramento paper said:
'Ex-Mayor Jabez Turner was one of
those men who make a city rich. He
represented a type of character TO
which the nation owes all that it pos
sesses of stanch and unselish public
spirit-a type that is not quite so
common as once it was, but that will
certainly come once more into demand
and appreciation. Jabez Turner was
man who worked with his hands and
who owed his advancement to his
character and to his skill. When the
time came to accept the high office of
mayor of Sacramento that was forced
upon him he withdrew from his posi-
ton as a workman and a director of
workmen and devoted himself 20 the
good of the city. When his mayorality
term had expired he returned to his
work in the shops until he was re-

men we should never lack a guidance
