HARLEMS STAKES. Nominations to Harlems summer stake races will close Monday night with Secretary Nath-anson. Room 201 Lakeside Building. Thus far the number of nominators to each of the events has largely exceeded the expectations of the Harlem Jockey Club. Mr. Nathanson did not anticipate more than an average of thirty nominations to any of the stakes, but in this he under-estimated the number of horsemen who desired to have contenders run for the liberal stakes offered by the Harlem people. Thus far some of the best horses in the United States have been named, and all of them are "right" and ready to race. Horsemen all over the country have responded liberally, and many letters have been received by the Harlem Jockey Club from eastern owners in which they have promised to 6end their horses to Harlem after the close of the Brighton Beach and Saratoga meetings. Among the eastern contingent W. B. Jennings, T. F. Buckley and W. L. Oliver will be perhaps the best represented in the Harlem stake races. Oliver has been soliciting entries for the coming events among the eastern horsemen, and in a letter yesterday to Secretary Nathanson he said his efforts had been highly successful. Local horsemen have evinced much interest in the Harlem stakes. A majority of horse owners at Washington Park have already made their nominations. A large batch of nominations was received yesterday from St. Louis by Secretary Nathanson, and in the letter which accompanied them it was said that many others would be sent from the Missouri city. Assistant Secretary Chivington has been in St. Louis for two days, and it was principally through his efforts that so many entries were obtained from horsemen "at the end of the bridge." Representatives of the Harlem Jockey Club will be at Washington Park, Hawthorne and Harlem today and tomorrow for the purpose of receiving entries to the Harlem stake races. James Lough ran will be the entry clerk at the south side course, Richard Stubbins will be at Hawthorne and Hart Dernham will officiate in like capacity at Harlem.
