LAKESIDE K A CING. The crowd that visited Lakeside yesterday was bb big as on the opening day. Those that vent to the Indiana track were well repaid for their visit as the racing was good throughout and in nearly all cases the best horses scored. The betting was brisk and lively, and fnlly as heavy as on the opening day. Probably the moBt pretentious foatnre of the afternoons sport was the third race, a dash of one and an eighth mileB for fonr year-olds and upward. Eermencia was supported generously by the talent and was always held at odds on. It waB thought that the geldings chances were enhanced cn account cf Cobnrn having the mount. The winner, however, proved to be the well backed eecond choice Orontas, which finished strorgly through the last quarter, and pickiog up Beimercia in the last eighth had little trouble in beating him to the wire after a short but sharp drive opposite the paddock gate. Be woneasilyby twolengthB, Hermencia beating Beteda four for cecond piece. Beseda shewed much speed up to a furlcng out, where Heimeccia inteifered Eaarply with her, throwing her almost against the inside rail. For the interference Eeimencia -was promptly set back, Beeeda being placed second. The latter was well tired at the time of the bumping. Lennep ran back to her good race with Federal at Worth and had no trouble about beating her field in eaEy fashion. She ruEhed to the front at flag fall and simply smothered her field with Epeed, always holding a big advantage at every part of the race. She won by three lengths esEtd up ficm Telamon, he beating Charley Moore two for Eeccnd place. Telamon wse under keen presEnre all the way, but could never close up on the winner. Charley Moore manddP up scree giourd in ihe last quarter Benckart ar.d Crcaby showed fairly well for six furlongs. An unwioldy field of fourteen youngsters lined up before the barrier in the days opener, a dash of fivoand a half furlcngs for two-year-olds. To a fair start, Miss Bnme, off flying:, quickly aeEumed an eaty lead and held it clear up to the laet Eixteenth, where Fade Meny, which had always laid second, closed up on her. The two fought it out with spirit to the wire, MiEB Eume gaining the verdict by a short neck. Tom Wallace finiehed third five lengths back. Borodee closed up faet in the last eighth and would have been third in 8 nother stride. Lingo, well backd by the talent, had no chance from where Eho got off. Hayden, which hae not started in some time, showed well for a half mile and then dropped back in the ruck. It was a mediocre field. Emma E. repeated her six furlongs victory of the day before, taking the second race vory easily in the closing strides by two lengths from Siren Bong, which beat The Butcher one for second place. Siren Song tired when the hard drive came as did ako Tho Butcher. Big Injnn closed up rapidly at tho ond. Cora Bavill II. was right there up to the last sixteenth. Olek-ma showed well for five furlongs. By far the most spirited contest of the day took place in the fifth rece, a Ecramble of five and one-half furlongs for two-year-olds. First Golden Glitter and tlen Autumn Leavss took the lead but in the last sixteenth the former, after apparently being beaten, rallied enough to beat the latter a head on tho post in a ding dong finiBh, with Eoodwink one length back. The last named was right there all the way and ran to her best form. Miracle II. finished stoutly and ran right to the mark. John A. Clarke, next to tho inBide rail in tho last eighth, seemed to have a chance along in here but tired and quit badly in the closing strides, Bopedale Bhowed a promising turn of speed. Old AndeB took the last race without much trouble by two lengths, from Eva Bice, she beating Free Pass about the same distance for second place. The Boer, backed heavily, had no chanco from where he got off. Greetings Bhowed well for six furlongs.
