DENMAN THOMPSON BEATEN. Lakeside bed its usual large attendance yesterday and the racing was good and clean cut throughout. The track was lightning fast and two of the records for this coarse were lowered. The principal attraction of the afternoons sport waB the fonrth race, a dash of one and three-sixteenths miles for three-year-olds and upward. Of the three that started Denman Thompson, despite the fact thatso light a boy as J. Hicks had the mount, was made a 2 to 5 favorite, while as good !as 8 to 5 could be had on Boiling Boor with Goburn up. Frangible, the rank outsider, was only nibbled at by the pikers. To a good start Frangible jumped into the lead and held it under sufferance up to the last eighth where Boiling Boer and Denman Thompson closed up on him. The race now reeolved itsslf into a merry struggle between the latter two but in the closing strides the superior jeekeysbip of Coburn began to assert itself and he throw Boiling Boer under the wire winner by a neck in a desperate drive. Denman Thompson beat Frangible six lengths for second place. The latter tired and quit badly when a furlong out but ran agood race at that considering the company he was stacked up against. Be is good and ready to run a good race over a soft track. Boiling Boers victory was simply duo to Coburns cleverness as with equal jockeys Denman Thompson would have proved an eBsy victor. The time, 2:01, vtsb eleven-twentieths of a second faster than the previous track mark. Burnie Bunton repeated her good race of last Monday, beating Money Muss with consummate ease and running the six furlongs in 1:13, which is seven-twentieths: of a second faster than the previous track mark. After a delay of ten minutes at the post the flag dropped to a good start with Sea Queen in the lead, closely pressed by Money Muss. The two ran as one horse until just bending for home, where Sea Queen had oEough and fell away beaten. Here Coburn, who bed been lying a close third with Burnie Bnnton, brought her up fast, and after a short drive with Money Muss in the last eighth she drew away without much trouble and won eased up by two and a half lengths. Money Muss finished four lengths in front of The Prido for eecond place. The latter was always outrun and did not ehow to his best form Bea Queen showed a clever turn of speed for four furlonge. Tom Kingsley was handicapped by a poor ride and was badly outrun for the entire distance. He can do much bettor and his race should not be taken seriously. The other three might just as well have remained in their Btalls, as they were all hopelessly beaten off from start to finish. The days opener proved an easy race for Wing Dance, which negotiated the Bis furlongs in "1 It was about as poor a field of two-yoar-olds as could be brought togother. Little Emmy rushed to the front at the start and held a good lead up to the laBt eighth, whore she tired. Along in here Wing Dance, which had been running in fifth place, moved up fast and. passing into the lead, won easily by four lengths from Dulcimer, which beat Lucy Locket a head for Becorid place. Coburn brought up the last named with a rush in the closing strides. She would have been second in another stride. The Babbit came strongly in the last- sixteenth. She runs beBt in the mud. Herse had enough when a furlong out. The long-distance affair at one and a quarter miles was simply an exercise gallop for Searcher, which laid within easy call of Ben Chance, the leader, until nearing the last eighth post. At this point Coburn called on him and he came away with all aaBe, winning under slight restraint by a length. Ben Chance finished seven in front of Barilla for second place. The former ran by far the best race he hao shown in tome time. Uncle Tom showed sudden improvement and bears watching from now on. Joe Collins ran well for Bix furlongs. Little Elkins race was not what ho is capable of. Schwartz on Tammany Chief was unable to hold the horses head up and he was beaten off from start to finish. Eva Bice proved to be much the best in the fifth race, a dash of one mile for four-year-olds and upward. Off none too well and sharply cut off at the first turn Davisson had to ride her all around her field to get clear sailing. 8he got to the front after a severe shaking up about the end of the first quarter and simply played with her field, thereafter winning in a canter by three lengths from Prairie Dog, which finished one and one half in front of Helen Paxton for eecond place. Prairie Dog ran to his best form and while he was easily the best of the others bad no chance to beat the winner. Helen Paxton finished Btoutly and is in good shape just now. Precursor, which is thick winded, ran well to the last quarter but the strong wind that blew up the stretch stopped him. Zacatoso Bbowed well for six furlongs. BassalaB waB supposed to be a good thing in the last race and was backed heavily by the talent and a select few, but the beet he could do was to run second, Frank M. at the weights proving to be the best. At flag dip Bice whipped the latter into the lead by the time the first turn had been reached and he remained there tp the end, winning none too handily by a length from Baeselas, which finished five in front of Linden Ella. Frank M. was tiring rapidly in the closing strides, but had enough left to reach the wire in front. Basselas finished strongly, but could not quite get up. He was interfered with Bomowhat at the first turn. Guy H., well backed, ran a dull race. He appeared stiff and sore when going to the post. Mies Liza ran well for Bix furlongs. Moroni had enough when entering the last quarter.
