LAKESIDE RACING. F. J. Kittlemans Kallicrates— Paradox gelding, Myth, came from the California tracks to Lakeside with a shady reputation and credited with being a most rank in-aud-onter. He maj have been a bad horse on the coast, bat here he has raced most consistently. Myth has started five times since his arrival and won three races, was second once and unplaced once. This is certainly a Rood showing. His first start was at one mile and a sixteenth, and Tenby, who has since proven himself to be a horse far above the ordinary, beat him. He was started right back the next d -v. and although a 1 to 2 shot, won easily at a m.i. His third appearance was at seven furlongs, and he finished fourth to Braw Lad, Meddler and Donna Rita. Owner Kittleman claim; the gelding would have won that race, but on leaving the post he was bit in the eye with a clod of mud and almost blinded. Since then Myth started twice and won in both instances, off by himself. Yesterday Myth was pitted up against Hurricane, a stake winner in the south, and was carrying 116 pounds to Hurricanes 105. The latter was made favorite at odds on and 6 to 5 was offered against Myth. There was nothing to the race. Myth just galloped under restraint behind Hurricane and Kings Guard until the stretch wa6 reached, then moved up on the inside and won hard held by about three lengths. Hurricane ran a fair race but had to be whipped out to beat Kings Guard for the place. Jockey Nutt had an inning, and by superior riding at the finish won two races by narrow margins. His first victory was on Dalgretti in the eight and one-half farlongs race. After getting badly interfered with on Ihe first turn, Nutt went around the bnnch and picking his horses up one by one was neck and neck with the favorite, Robert Bonner, in the stretch. He soon shook the latter off, but about the sixteenth post along came Dr. Marks and tha pair had a battle royal from there to the end. Dalgretti, staggering and all oat, got the verdict by a nose. Nutt came right back again in the fifth race and won on Papa Harry. The finish on the latter was a clever piece of horsemanship and worthy of comment. He was obliged to come wide on the stretch turn to avoid interference, and at the drawgate was joined by Marco Polo. The pair from there to the judges stand had a nodding finish, and, although Marco Polo was the better of the two, Nutt managed to beat him by clearly outfinishing H. Brown. Goebel, easily beaten on account of a bad ride by Free Hand last Monday, turned the tables on the latter in the third race. Goebel got away third and going right on to the front, was a half length to the good at the finish. Free Hand was badly interfered with at the start and finished last but one. She could not have beaten Goebel though with clear sailing and Clays ride on him Monday will probably be investigated. Banbury was favorite for the opening four and a half furlong dash, and getting off with the lead, he won all the way. Pauline J. won the last race in just the same way from Mc-Albert and Lobengula. Bright Night, the favorite, after much interference, was fourth,
