. I HAWTHORNES MEETING. Many of the owners who have been racing at Washington Park will ship their stables to Hawthorne and run their horses at the summer OONTINDBD ON BBCOND PAUB. HAWTHORNES MEETING. Continued from First Page. meeting of the Chicago Jockey Club, which opens Monday. Among those who will race at Hawthorne, as indicated by their stake entries. are: Green B. Morris. P. Dunne, George C. Bennett, John F. Schorr, Barney Schreiber, W. S. Barnes. J. B. Gray. G. W. Poole. H. J. Scoggan, T. P. Hayes. Hackett Bros, and Woodford and Buckner. The decision of Green B. Morris to remain in Chicago instead of shipping east insures the services of that popular young jockey. Bullman. whose clever riding has won him a large following. The card for Monday is a strong one. It includes the Monadnock stakes, a one mile selling event for three-year-olds. The other features on the card are a five-furlong selling race for two-year-olds. ■ six-furlong dash for three-year-olds and upward, a steeplechase over the short course, a five-furlong dash for two-year-olds, and a race at 1 1-16 miles for three-year-olds and upward. Betting at Hawthorne will be conducted on the open-ring plan, and the bookies will have their slates up just as they did at the spring meeting. Arrangements have been made to accommodate thirty-five books in the Hawthorne ring and it is expected that nearly that number will draw in on Monday. The present season lias been one of heavy betting and the bookies seem to prefer the game here to that in the east. All chance of making the proposed special stake foi crack two-year-olds seems to have faded away. For a time the proposition of the Hawth. rue management for a sweepstakes of 00 each, the association to add ,000. was seriously considered but the difference of opinion among owners as to weights and distance was 60 j:reat it was impossible to get them together, and the race has virtually been dropped. The Chicago Jockey Club still stands ready to give ,000 for such a race, and allow the nominators to select the handicapper, but there is small prospect of their coming to an agreement. The first race over the new steeplechase course at Hawthorne will be run Monday. Trainers who sent their horses the route yesterday say it is a great improvement over the old one and will be productive of better racing and fewer accidents.
