RACING AT LAKKSIDE LAKESIDE LAKKSIDETlie Clarksdale Tlie Lie track was muddy at Lakeside yesterday at d the afternoon was cold and and raw but notwithstanding this a crowd of about 4 500 people were on hand handThe handheld The meeting of Imp and Macy Marcy was the attrac attract ¬ tion ion and these two would be a drawing card on almost any track in the country countryThe country The weights were quite different from what th y were the last time these two cracks came together Macy Marcy was picking up seven pounds and Imp had four pounds off This the public thought made Imp the better of the two and the half holiday people were down on her to a ian ianIn Iranian In the opening betting it was even money takt tat your pick Imp though seemed to bn the only one backed and her price was hurriedly cut to 4 to 5 Macy Marcy in the meancime meantime receding to Otu Lotus 5 Then there was a plunge on the latter and going to the post the quotations were Imp 9 to 10 and even money against Macy Marcy To a per ¬ fect fet start Imp brose broses in front but she did not seem to have her usual turn of spaed spaced and pass ¬ ion I T iand viand Macy Marcy was on even terms with her Anmnd Amend the first turn the pair raced like a team and when Imp could not get away from her fleet antagonist in the first three furlongs it was evident she had no chance to win At tho thou half mile ground Macy Marcy with hiss moath oath wide open began to part company with the black filly and the cry went up She is beaten hat do you suppose is the matter She never showed such little speed as this before and a hundred other remarks of this kind could be heard on all aides The public never stopped tu think that Macy Marcy is a horse of high class him ¬ self and that Imp was trying to concede him seven pounds poundsOn pounds On the far turn Macy Marcy opened uo a winning gap of four lengths Despite the fact that he was only galloping and Imp was hopelessly beaten Ellis foolishly drew his whip and pun ¬ ished dished the already beaten filly mercilessly She tried her best but could not gain an inch and Storm King coming strong beat her for the place placeOConnell Paleocene OConnell O'Connell who seems to have rounded to smce mace Speirs Piers lost him won the initial seven fur lungs dash from Dunois Dubois but only after a terrific drive the entire length of the stretch OCou Osco n ll whp whap has the reputation of not being a game horse showed that that imputation was incorrect He stood the drive from the head of the stretch to the wire and hung on like a bull ¬ dog Shortly after making the turn into the strHch ostrich Dunois Dubois hooked up with OConnell O'Connell and with both boys whipping and kicking for all they were worth the pair finished almost on even terms The winner was an even money favorite and Dunois Dubois was second choice at 11 to i OConnell O'Connell got off in front and led all the way On the other hand Dunois Dubois broke fifth and met with some interference on the first turn Another meeting between this pair on tho thou same terms would be interesting interestingFrank interesting Frank Boll finally met a combination of oppo oppose ¬ sition sitting and circumstances he could not beat Everything in tho thou way of conditions racing laclfdp laical track were against him however and this taken into consideration the colt ran his race He was in the second event which was at threequarters treasurers a little further than he cares to go and was giving away weight to every ¬ thing The track was sticky and not to his lik lick iog Rio The colt also has a sore mouth and a rub ¬ ber beer bit was used This made it hard for Bloss Loss to hold him and in all breakaways he ran far out He opened at 7 to 5 was backed down a pint but after a couple of breakaways he went up to it Bloss Loss got awev awe third and went rig t the I i I e far turn was four lengths to the good Coming into the stretch the colt began to get legweary ledger and Boney Bony Boy passing him like a flash had every ¬ thing his own way the last furlong winning well in hand by three open lengths Mr Johnson coming fast at the end beat the tired Frank Bell for the place Boney Bony Boy was a 4 to 1 shot and well played Guess Me who has been show ¬ ing King great speed at Latonia Antonia was nowhere and never prominent She perhaps will do better later on onThere other There were eighteen starters in the third race and as good as 4 to 1 could be had against any ¬ thing Czarowitz Carbonize with Freeman up and well played won easily from Aunt Mary In the last sixteenth Freeman lost his cap and dis dais ¬ played a bald head Rebo Reebok who rode Aunt Mary is an old man some say over fifty years of age and when he saw Freemans Freeman bald head he looked at Patsy for a while and with a Einile Ensile remarked There is still a chance for me meThere metered There was a lot of speed in the fifth a five furlongs dash but Montgomerys Montgomery liking for the mud made him a warm favorite and going to the post 3 to 5 was his best price He broke second but stepping the first quarter in 24 seconds was soon in front where he stayed to the end winning easily Dave Waldo Weald was sec ¬ ond bond and the 60 to 1 chance Walkenshaw Waukesha third Montgomerys Montgomery running the first quarter so fast in the mud created much gossip gossipThe gossip The ring had all it could do to handle the money in the last race and was hit hard over the win of Boanerges Beaneries The latter was the favorite and a ton of money was bet on him at 6 to 5 and even money Topmast and Moucreith Nourish were also well played playedEvidently Evidently Colonel Clark thought there was something doing in the race and for some reason best known to himself took Cass Sloan down from Topmast and substituted H Martin It did not matter who rode Topmast for judging from the race Boanerges Beaneries was by far the best and after running in front all the way he won off by himself The chances are had Sloan been left on Topmast the horse would have been second but as it was Moncreith Noncredit came along with a rush and beat him a head for that position positionIn positioning In the paddock before the races Mrs Jimmio Jimmied and Flying Bird were sold at auction Both went very cheap tho thou former being knocked down to S Bender for 375 and L A Thompson bought Flyiug Flying Bird for 300
