was declared off the others all scratching away from Foster Bros1 big mudeater muleteer The sixth race a selling affair at six furlongs was also declared off and so to make up the five races of the

Nathan in favor of Madrilene Marlene August 11 it was stated that Mr T C McDowell owner of Madrilene Marlene was called into the judges stand before the decision was made The gentleman referred to said yesterday I was not in the judges stand on the occasion men ¬ tioned toned never had an idea of making any kick and as far as I know no claim for foul was lodged lodgedMr lodged Mr J F Caldwell one of Americas veteran starters took his position at Hawthorne Mon ¬ day and will there touch off the machine for the balance of the meeting It seems Caldwell was engaged for Hawthorne six months ago but the management being asked by horse owners and trainers to give W F Bruen Braun a weeks trial employed the young starter with the permission of Mr Caldwell Bruens Bruges work was entirely satisfactory to the Haw ¬ thorne thorn officials and the public concurred in ap ¬ plauding lauding his efforts Mr Caldwells Caldwell starting yesterday was nearly perfection Bad actors at the post will be barred until they are schooled to break with the others
