READY AT HAWTHOKSE, Barney Schreiber has been notified by Manager McKvoy, of the Chicago Jockey Club, that his entries will be accepted at Hawthorne. Mr. 1 Schreiber had made plans to take his stable to Saratoga, but will now leave the greater part of it in Chicago in charge of Felix Carr. and will bring the other horses back in time to race at the Hawthorne meeting beginning next Monday. July 23. In explaining their action in the Schreiber case the Hawthorne officials say : "Turf Congress rules make it compulsory to observe edicts of expulsion and ruling off only. Rule 18 is explicit on this point. Mr. Schreiber has not been expelled or ruled off. He is under suspension only. Rule 190 gives each association discretionary powers in matters of this nature, and we propose to treat Mr. Schreiber as a man in good standing. Of course, if he had been expelled or ruled off we would be powerless, but as he is under suspension only we are at liberty to receive him if we wish to." Five great two-year-olds will start in a handicap sweepstakes at Hawthorne on Saturday, July 28. The Chicago Jockey Club adds ,000 and each owner is to put up 00 additional, making a stake of ,500, all of which, with the exception of 00 for the second horse, is to go to the winner. The race will be at five and a half or six furlongs, as the owners may decide, and the handicap will be based on eight pounds off the scale. The following horses will probably start, as all the owners have agreed to the terms : Garry Hermann, by Esher — Silk Gown. Miss Bennett, by Russell — Memoria. Golden Age, by Golden Garter— Nonage. Silverdale, by Faverdale— Golden Rod 11. Harry Herendeen, by Faustus— Bothnia. Hawthornes famous steeplechase course has been almost entirely reconstructed. The jumps have been raised and placed at new angles, the wings elevated, and the ground in front of the timbers packed with cinders and tanbark to afford better footing for the jumpers. Every inch of the turf course has also been gone over and put in shape for the big steeplechase events which are to be a feature of the racing at the Cicero track this summer.
