FKOM HARLEM TO HAWTHORNE. Harlems fortnight of racing ended yesterday and for the two weeks to come Hawthorne will be the local center of attraction for those who admire the gallant thoroughbred. At Harlem the attendance has been constantly good, the racing excellent and well conducted, and, in the main, good racing weather has prevailed. The arrival of new horses from St Louis and else where served to stimulate interest in the sport, and quite a number of notable performances at various distances were recorded. The program for the first wesk at Hawthorne has been issued by Secretary Harry Enhl, and is made up with his usual careful attention to details designed, to meet the capacities and peculiarities of the hundreds of horses now quartered at the local tracks. Steeplechases are provided for Monday, Thursday aud Saturday, all over the short course. Some "leppers" new to the conrEO will probably make their local debut in these events, giving an access of zest to this popular branch of the Hawthorne racing. A mile and a half dash Monday is the longest flat race of the week, but it is noticeable that of the thirty-three flat races in the weeks program sixteen are at a mile or over. With additional stables drifting in from St. Louis, the Northern Circuit and a few returning from the east there is abundant assurance of more than enough horses to furnish satisfactory fields and good contests throughout Hawthornes third period of summer racing. ..
