SPEED AT LAKESIDE. Lakesides Monday racing was interfered with by the unseasonably hot weather, at least one-third of the usual patrons of the course declining to brave the fiery rays of the August sun. Battus, said to belong to B. J. Johnston, who saw his gelding win the race for maiden two-year-olds, always held Curd Gillock, who made the running into the homestretch safe and came on when he pleased, the jockey looking back. Benson Caldwell, the favorite, ran fast on the end and just nipped the show money. Gus Koch, down from Milwaukee, predicts a great racing season for Chicago. R. J. Hutchinson says that A. J. Levy is yet in the far east, supposedly getting together a new collection of bric-a-brac, and will probably stay in Paris this summer instead of returning to make book on the Jockey Club tracks. Sam Fullen indulged Cariboo with the lead for five-eighths, then galloped to the front. Eased up at the last eighth, his jockey became scared and went to work, because of the closeness of Sidbow, but the move was unnecessary, the favorite winning away off, as Sidbow quit and just managed to retain place honors from Cariboo, who ran as fast as he could every quarter. "Cy" Jaynes, almost a new man. sprightly and full of fun, showed his conservatism by placing 0 on Cariboo to show. Hoods Brigade walked home. Woodtrice was whipped out as also Thomas Carey. Glon-oine. backed by small money from 30 down to 8 to 1 was beaten fifty yards. Mr. Dwyer certainly showed his form when, for the fourth race, he got off eighteen horses of the aggregate selling value of ,400 so well together that no daylight showed through the bunch. Mr. Jokn Brenocks Alice B. proved the winner in a driving finish, but old race-goers were uncertain of the colors as the veteran racetrack owner has added "red white and blue sash to his "all green." Jim Davis Wertheim was a strong tip and showed in the front rank to the homestretch. Barney Saal made the and with a better ride should have won. race rma S., trained by "Brick." was somewhat fancied. Mr. Clay made a bluff on the back-stretch. The drinking water taken from a pump behind the stand is as good as any fluid that comes from Waukesha. Ray H. was a "hot thing" in the fifth race, backed from 25 down to 8 to 1. He ran his head off trying to catch the leader up the back-stretch. Sister Fox made up considerable ground then died away. The finish was a whipping one several horses seeming to have a chance an eighth out. Tommy OBrien, Tom i Barretts colt, was jostled at the start and thrown into last position, but he finished fourth close up. The followers of form noting that H. Robinson again had two seconds to his credit jumped on Yuba Dam and cut the 10 to 1 in two. But here Robinson broke his spell, Yuba Dam being beaten off. Her Favor ran a little farther than at her previous start. Schnell-laufer won from behind in the last few strides. An auction sale will be held in the paddock at Lakeside this afternoon at 1 oclock to dissolve the partnership of Cushing, Walker and Mc-Guigan. The four two-year-old6 to be sold are : Mr. Pomeroy, b. c, by Badge— Full Dress, by King Alphonso; Ida V., blk. f, by Badge— Enquiry, by Enquirer ■ Biger, b. c, by Badge— Carline, by King Ban; Birdie D., b. f, by Badge — Lucasta, by Hayden Edwards.
