ROBERT WADDELL BEATEN, The Lakeside meeting yesterday waB dignified by the appearance of Robert WaddeU, which ran his first race in a long time. It was whispered about that the American Derby winner was up to a good effort in which event it appeared like he had an easy thing of it egainBt the horses he was asked to compete with. It was in the third race, a dash of seven furlongs, and he was made a 4 to 5 chance. Many were chary about backing him on account of Beaton having the mount. To a nod Btart Telamon, closely pressed by Dorothy iee, showed the way up to the turn for borne, where the latter fell away beaten. Here W. J. Deboe moved up fast and had little trouble in assuming an easy command, which he held to the end, winning by one length from Telamon, which beat Robert Waddell a head for second place. Telamon tired rapidly in the last eighth and would have lost second place in another stride. Beaton had Robert Waddell hopelessly pocketed all down the back Btretch, never getting clear sailing no-til well into the final quarter. Even then he could not do the horse justice, allowing him to pitch about like a storm tossed vessel in the last eighth. With a good strong rider up Bob-ert Waddell would certainly have won. Orontas proved an easy winner at the end in the fourth race, a dash of a mile and one hundred yards, winning by a length and a balf, while Boiling Boer beat Odnor four for second place. Harry Herendeen was easily the best in the days opener, a Biz furlong dash, winning by three lengths from Wayward Boy, which beat Bnnmerack two and one-half for second place. John A. Clarke took the second race, a scramble of six fnrlongs for two-year-olds, in a mild drive by a half length from Hoodwink, which beat Autumn Leaves one for sreond place. Dandola at last, after many attempts, got out of the maiden class, winning the ffth race, a dash of one mile, easily after a brush with Amote in the last eighth. Ho passed under tbe wire two lengths in front of Amote, which beat Marcos eix for second place. Banish was an easy winner of the last race, a dash of one and three-sixteenth miles. He won by four lengths in a canter from El Ghor which beat Uncle Tom a half length for second place.
