f i 1 ] 1 ; I I i I : 1 i ■ ; i I r I LAEESIDE TODAY. Everything is in readiness for the opening of the fifteen days" racing season this afternoon at the Lakeside track. Todays card is very attractive. There are eighty-one horses in the six races, and were it not that many owners anticipated a wet track there could have been double that number of entries. However, to all who thought the track would be muddy, a pleasant disappointment is in store. The speedway has become thoroughly dried and it is very fast. All of the officials are in town. Colonel Ham, ilton arrived yesterday from Mt. Sterling, KyM with his usual fund of good stories and is stopping at the Auditorium Annex. That to-days card is a good one is evidenced from the number of high-class animals which are entered. From a spectators point of view three races are on the programme which witt merit the approval of the grandstand. They are all at one mile or over and the entries in them make safe the prediction that each will furnish good sport. What doubtless will be the feature race of tha day is the first race at five furlongs. In it are such good sprinters as Algareta, Boney Boy. Ed Gartland II.. Peace, Hermoso, Ben Ledi King Carnival, Abe Furst and Iznik. The second race at one mile will be a selliug event. Among the entries are two American Derby candidates, Hoods Brigade and T. E, Barretts Tommy OBrien. The third race is at a half mile for two-year-old maiden fillies and entered in it are a number of highly tried ones. The fourth event will perhaps divide the interest with the first race as a feature of the card. In this contest Sam Fullen. another candidate for the American Derby, will meet The Lady, L. H. Ezells filly; Eva Rice, who ran third in the Turf Congress Handicap at New Orleans; Molo, Myth and other speedy horses. In the fifth race a fair lot of selling platers is entered, including Topmast, Holdup, En-; nomia and Dr. Walmsley. Dr. Rowell would have entered Imperious, winner of the Burn* Handicap in this race, but was too late. Garry Hermann, one of the best of the two-year-olds in the south, will contend with a speedy lot of youngsters in the sixth race. Among them are Invictus. Anxious and Bern Magen. Among the jockeys who arrived at the track yesterday were Moody, Flick, J. Martin, L Rose. Silvers, Goodwin, McCaun, Miller and Armstrong.
