LAKESIDE RACING RACINGTi Racing Ti weather was cold and raw and the track sloppy yesterday at Lakeside The attendance has dropped off considerably and it is doubtful if 1 500 people saw the races It was another bad day for the talent only one favorite win ¬ ning Ming and that one Boney Bony Boy was at such a abort price that it is doubtful if he was played to any great extent extentThe extent The defeat of Boanerges Beaneries was unlocked for and proved to be the sensational feature of the day Ho was in the fourth race which was at 1 116 miles and among his opponents vere verge Top ¬ mast and Dr Sheppard These same horses have mot twice this week and on Saturday of last week Boanerges Beaneries met Topmast and carry ¬ ing King 118 pounds ttfthe tatted latters clatters 103 beat him in a common gallop The pair with Dr Sheppard added came together again on Monday This time Dr Sheppard was first Topmast second and Boanerges Beaneries fourth Dr Sheppard carried 117 to Boanerges Beaneries 114 and 108 was on Topmast In yesterdays race the Doctor and Boanerges Beaneries carried 112 each and Topmast had 109 up It ItSi ItS Topmasts turu Taurus to win although both the Si rs had weight off and he was picking up a pound This seemed to make no difference however and Topmast came home an easy winner Dr Sheppard got the place and Boanerges Beaneries was a farback fatback third In all three races the track has been practi practice ¬ cally calmly the same and after Topmast won there was a lot of carping talk Boanerges Beaneries opened up at T to 10 but by post time he was backed down to 2 to 5 What might have been the issue of the race had all the horses ran throughout without interference might be air matter for argument but to all appearances Master T Burns on Dr Sheppard thought he had only to make sure that Boanerges Beaneries should not win By dint of carrying the latter wide and cutting Mm off at a critical time he effectually dis dais ¬ posed of the McGuigan Michigan castoff and incident ¬ ally his own Sloan on Topmast attended strict ¬ ly to his own business and stealing a lead with Topmast that could not be overcome in the scurry through the final furlong The solitary favorite to score came from Virginia Bradleys Bradley camp Ha had Boney Bony Boy in the fifth race which was at seven furlongs and after seven of the original thirteen entries had been scratched the colt appeared to be a certain winner He was never better than 2 to 5 in the betting and getting away in the lead won all the way being eased up five lengths to the good There was a hot contest for the place which Harry Natter Matter got by a nose from Easter Card The latter and Harry Nutter Mutter bitched up at the eighth post and from there to the wire a bumping match took place Easter Card was the offender and had he finished second it is more than likely that he would have been disqualified disqualifiedIn disqualified In the first race jockey Ellis gave an exhibi exhibit ¬ tion ion of how easy it is to lose a race He was riding or rather had the mount on Tony Li calzis Calais flllyRosoliawhich was backed down from li to 1 to 3 to 1 That the filly was the best and I only Ellis carelessness cost her the race was evident The boy got away second with a flying t and going right on about his business three lengths to the good and running asily easily when the stretch was reached Along about the sixteenth post Ellis evidently had a thought This seemed to make him forget that ho was riding in a race and he proceeded to dream over it Before he knew what had hap ¬ pened penned along came Cousin Lettie Letter with a rush on the inside and stole the race When Ellis saw Cousin Lettie Letter coming he awoke with a start aad ad almost fell off McCanu Meccano who rode Cousin Lottie Loftier dropped hn lead pad just after passing the wire This is another example of Tony Licalzis Localism bad luck Had the boy lost his weight fifteen feet this side of where he did it would surely have cost him the race Old David was backed from 2 to 1 down to 8 to 5 to win the second race but he was lucky to get the place Bloss Loss got a runniag running start with Braw Lad and setting a terrific pace raced all those behind him into dizziness the first part of the journey and fairly walked home David swerving and staggering beat Newsgatherer Newscaster a short head for second money Braw Lad was run up 200 over his entered price of 5500 but was retained by his owners ownersThe owners The third a five furlong dash furnished a corking good finish The first five horses were so close together that it was almost impossible to tell which had won Billy Mason the 8 to 5 favorite led by two and a half lengths into the stretch but then began to tire badly Below the eighth post there was a general closing up and with whips slashing and mud flying five horses flashed by the wire on almost even terms Crys Cry ¬ talline tallied on the inside got the verdict with Dous Douse terswivel erosive second and Billy Masou Masco third Peg Parka was fourth and Grey Gray John fifth fifthThe fifth The fourth was the Boanerges Beaneries race and the fifth was Boney Bony Boys Overland well

reinstated jockey Holden Olden He is about the best boy at his weight at the track trackOld tracked Old Cap Walden furnished the favorites for two races but did not have the good for ¬ tune to get
