THE OPENING AT LAKESIDE I Lakesides fifteen day meeting began yester ester ¬ day and the opening was a rousing one About 4000 followers of the sport went to the track and a majority it is safe to say went to see Imp and Macy Marcy come together again They were not disappointed as both started in the mile and one hundred yards race This of course was the principle attraction but the card all through had a sprinkling of good horses and the racing in general was up to the standard standardAs standards As was expected syndicate betting prevailed Leo Mayer and Barney Kid Weller Dweller had the privilege The prices offered though were ery very liberal taking for example the quotations on the ImpMacy Impact race The latter naturally on account of his big pull in the weights was a de ¬ cided chided favorite but as good as 9 to 10 was always obtainable The race on form looked strictly between the pair yet 3 to I straight and even money for the place was always Imps price priceWith price With Tom Burns on Macy Marcy and he the favorite it appeared most probable that the IpHettors Photos would play him Imp however has won for them so often that they took another chance on her and all during the betting there was a steady play on the honest black filly The moderate bettors to a man were down on her On the other hand the big fellows took advantage of Macys Mays pull in the weights and played him The place price on Imp being so liberal there was many a century note wagered on her that way wayThe swathe The race was fourth on the program and Jutt Jut before they went to the post a drizzing drizzling rain set in Starter Dwyer had some little trouble in getting the field lined up but after a delay of about five minutes sent them away to a good start Imp was in front Macy Marcy second and Boanerges Beaneries third Storm King was last on the outside and seemed to be short on speed Around the first turn Imp on the rail was a scant length in front of Macy Marcy with Dr Shep Sheep pard pared third Down the backstretch Imp in ¬ creased her lead and on the far turn she seemed to draw away from Macy Marcy MacyThe Mayhem The filly in most all of her races has opened up a winning gap at about this same spot and when the crowd saw her part company with Macy Marcy a shout rang out that could have been heard almost to the city There she goes Catch her if you can There is nothing to it and remarks of that sort could ba heard on all sides The publics jubilation though was short lived for when Burns got ready he went to the black whirlwind in a jiffy and when straightened away for home it was eviden evident that Macy Marcy would win About the eighth post Shop pard pared hit Imp a couple of times with the whip She swerved from it and the boy seeing he was beaten eased up It was a stirring race and well appreciated appreciatedRumor appreciated Rumor has it that Imp was short If this be true she will be benefited by the race and quite probably turn the tables on Macy Marcy before the season closes closesCzarowitz Czarowitz Carbonize with Burns up was a 9 to 5 favor ¬ ite bite for the initial event He certainly gave his hisAckers hijackers Ackers Backers a good run for their monby moony but those thoseat those at played him straight only still hold their tickets Burns got away with the favorite clear of his field and was in front all the way to the stretch Here Locust Blossom who was always in a good position took command and u itouched touched by whip or spur won with speed in reserve It took all Czarowitz Carbonize had left to stall off

gap and nothing was ever able to get near him after that He won easily at the end by three lengths Fontaineblou Fontanel almost left ran a sparkling race and was second with Boney Bony Boy poorly handled third Cathedral second into the stretch died away at the end and was fourth fourthThe fourth The fourth race was an easy thing for Braw Lad This colt far outclassed his field but the liberal price of 3i to 1 was offered against him Caywood Cawed was up and getting off in the first flight always had something up his sleeve He waited head and head with Graziella Grazie to the threeeighths

to Abuse The Foster Bros1 horse was a 1 to 5 chance and won as he should in a gallop Bloss Loss got Abuse off badly and rode a poor race but the sprinter was so much the best that it was hardly possible for him to lose loseThe closeted The closing event which was at nine furlongs was run in the dark Clay Poyuter Pouter the 2 to 1 favorite led all the way and won handily Double Dummy at the
