HARIEM RACING SUSPENDED There will be no racing at Harlem today nor in fact during the remainder of the week En ¬ tries were closed yesterday at the usual hour but at a meeting of the officials and attorneys of the club last night it was decided to call the meeting off In behalf of the Harlem Jockey Club secretary Nathanson last night issued the following statement for the information of the public r rOur Our intention was to race out the remaining three days of our meeting without pool selling but our attorneys advice is not to race as such action might be construed as disrespectful to the courts injunction and might injure our case which comes up on Monday and which we ex ¬ pect to win We stopped all betting in the reg ¬ ular way this afternoon but it is impossible to prevent the people from making wagers among themselves and that might be used in a manner prejudicial to the Harlem Jockey Clnb The horses and horsemen are all here and are not likely to run away with the Washington Park meeting opening on Saturday Our meeting would have closed on Friday anyhow so it is only a matter of a temporary suspension as the case comes up on Monday we feel quite confi ¬ dent of winning it itMARTIN MARTIN NATHANSON Secretary Harlem Jockey Club
