MAY BEACH WINS AGAIN. The track at Lakeside is now dry and during tba remaining three days of the meeting: good racin? cm bi lookad f jiward to, if the same conditio l continues to prevail. Saturday May Baach stepped three-quarters in 1:141, and be-fore the season comes to a close it is safe to Bay that six furlongs may ba run considerably faster than this if it does not rain. May Beach is truly a speed marvel and has won for her owner, F. T. Wood, a neat sum during the season; but during the Lakeside meeting Mr. Wood has started her repeatedly in the mud, whereby it has become evident that the handsome daughter of Bobby Baach Faithless can not shiw at her best in such going and is only at home oa a dry. fast track. In Saturdays three-qutrtars handicap May Baach had everythihg her own way. In the first placa her weight was light. 98 pounds, then agiin tha track was dry, and Vititoe, who is about the best boy ridin? here to get away, wbb up. All these things considered it is no wonder that the talent lit upon her as the bast thing of the day and backed her from 8 to 5 down to 0 to 5; Vititoe made a bad mistake at the be sinning with her. He took her cIobo to the inside down the backstretch, and as the going waa deep thare he anchored her to a considerable extent. The boy had presence of mind enough, however, to go to the outside on the far turn and as Boon as the filly hit the hard, dry going she shot to the front like a flash, eventually -winning well in hand. The two-year-old Alice Turner ran a phenomenal race and finished second. Mitchells perfect ride on Little Singer in the opening mile and fifty yards race was one of the main features of the day. Little Singer wbb an equal favorite with Egbart at 2 to 1 but oa account of the difference in riders Little Singer caught the bulk of the batting patronage. This was good judgment, for Mitchell rated the filly cleverly in a good position all the way, and, avoiding all interference, won a well earned purse. On the other hand Flick rode a bad race on Egbart, letting him quit with his mouth wide open. The fourth, fifth and sixth races furnished extremely close finishes and the big half holiday crowd seamed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. Boney Boy web the one that stood a terrific drive through the entire length of the stretch and managed to stay long enough to beat Moroni by a narrow margin in the fourth event. This was at a mile and twenty yards and the 12 and 15 to 1 quoted against Boney Boy appeared to be misplaced. The scrubby-looking son of Blitzen Sue B. got away in front and stayed there all the way. Tommy Griffins good youngster, Erwin, showed good form by beating Bed Gross II. and eleven others in the fifth race. The colt was not off the train many hours before the race and this fact was the cause of the "bookies" taking liberties with him. They opened him at 2 to 1 and those that were not in with the "information" about Erwin not being fit backed .him down to 11 to 5. In the meantime the "wiser fish" were giving the so-called "suckers" the langh. The old saying that l,he who laughs last laughs best" came into play here, as Erwin well ridden by Freeman, came along and in a terrific drive baat Red Cross II., tha one the "wise fish" had backed, by a scant half length. Jimp was well meant in the sixth race at one mile and a quarter and he should have landed the parse, for as the race was run Jimp was, without a doubt, the best. Freeman rode him, and after messing him about badly throughout lot Pat Garrett, a 12 to 1 chance, beat him by a nose at the wire.
