LAKESIDE SACING. The racing at Lakeside yesterday was rather tame, the card being made up of an ordinary lot of horses. It threatened to rain all afternoon, but held off until the sport was over. The track was slow and somewhat favored horses that run best in the mud. The most important race of the day was the fourth, a dash of one mile and fifty yards for three-year-olds and lupward.jg The Conqueror IL1 was made a 2 to 5 shot and won as the betting indicated, Irmas Choice led on sufferance for the first three furlongs, where Moabina took command, leading by a good margin until just entering the last quarter, where The Conqueror II. held the field v safe, winning by a length from Rolling Boer, which beat Fingal five lengths for second place. Rolling Boer showed improvement over biB recent races and stood along stretch drive with gameness. He conceded much weight to everything in the race and ran. back to his early spring form. Fingal easily outstayed Moabina in the last eighth struggle for third place. Tne lattor showed much speed, but tired fast after running seven furlongs. Glenrice proved to be the best in the first race, a five and a half furlongs scramble for two-year-olds. Of the eighteen originally scheduled to start five were scratched. First Computation and then Albemarle showed the. way in turns, the latter leading by a slight margin to the head of the stretch, where Lord Melbourne rushed into the lead and appeared the winner in the last sixteenth, but along here Glenrice moved up fast and steadily wore him down, winning by two lengths easily. Lord Melbourne beat Albemarle three lengths for second place. Albemarle as usual tired fast when the pinch came. Computation showed to poor advantage, but can do batter. - Centie ran well for a half mile and bears watching from now on. The second race, a dash of six furlongs for three-year-olds and upward, was won by The Caxton. Theory, closely pressed by Preetorius and Howen-dobler, showed the way until well into the last quarter, where The Caxton moved up. It appeared to be Theorys race in the last sixteenth, but Rob-bins rode The Caxton hard about here, getting him up in time to win by a head on the post, Theory beating Preetorius the same distance for second place. Preetorius was under a har,d drive all through the last eighth and responded with courage. Howendobler faltered in the closing strides. I. Samelson made up much ground in the last quarter. Sue Johnson ran a dull race and can do better. A nose separated Banter from MacGyle as the two passed under the wire in the third race, a dash once around the circle for all ages. Banter was . given an excellent ride by Bobbins, who made his 1 run at the right time. He and MacGyle hooked up all through the final eighth, but Banter proved to be a shade the gamer. MacGyle baat Jaubert four and a half lengths for Becond place. The latter tired perceptibly in the last sixteenth struggle. Jackfull ran an unaccountably poor race and is capable of a much better showing. He was given an ill-judged ride, being rushed to the front too suddenly. He was well spent when turning for home and was badly beaten before the last eighth post had been reached. The fifth race, a five and a half furlongs scramble for two-year-olds, was won by Rankin, also ridden by Robbins. Our Bessie and Sidney Sabath alternated in the lead to the last quarter, where Rankin assumed command and appeared to have things his own way when a furlong from home, but in the last thirty yards Sidney Sabath closed up fast on him compelling Robbins to drive him out to the limit. He wou by a neck, Sidney Sabath beating Musical Slipper a half length for second place. Musical Slipper was under a hard drive all through the last quarter.

The last race of the day, a dash of one and an eighth miles for threo-jear-olds anjtf upward, went to the well backed Little Elkin. Chickadee showed jtaadBAriaJpihejrsteYen fur- ; longs, where Little Elkin, which had been running alongin last position, passed the field fast and drew on oven terms when swinging for home. Little Elkin kept bearing in on Chickadee, which tired perceptibly in the last eighth struggle, but the interference waB not enough to change the result. Little Elkin finally drew away in the last fifty yards and, under keen punishment to stall off Huz-zahs determined bid in the closing strides, won by half a length, Huzzah finishing a length before Chickadee for second place. Beana tinished-a poor fourth. She can do much better and her race should be thrown out in future calculations. The crowd was much Smaller than on the opening day on account of the threatening weather and mediocre card. Betting was comparatively light.
