HARLEMS PRO GRAM. There.will not be much more racing at Harlem Park this year, but what there will bo is to be of the highest class if Secretary Nathanson baa his wish. Owing to President John Condons concession to the Worth Jockey Club, the Autumn meeting of the Harlem Jockey Club will last only nine days, from September 30, to October 9, but it is proposed to make them the most memorable nine days of the local racing CONTINUED ON SECOND PAGE. HARLEMS PROGRAM. Continued from First Page. eeaEon. .Racing will commence at 2:00 p. m. each day. The program book for the meeting will be out in a few days, but meanwhile Mr. Nathanson announces a good stake race for almost every day, winding up October 9 with a rattling good card of which the feature event will be the Twentieth Century Handicap. This is a race at a mile and three-sixteenths, for three-year-olds and upward, with ,000 added by the Harlem Jockey Club. Nearly a hundred entries at 0 each adds considerably to the value of the race, which will be still further enhanced by startors contributing an additional 00 each. A high-class field of ten or twelve of the best handicap horseB in the west is likely to go to the post, so the Twentieth Century Handicap may be figured as an ,000 race. This makes it the principal event of the fall around Chicago, and more than ordinary interest attaches to it. It is reasonable to presume it will afford a grand contest between tha best horses from the bf st stables in the west, especially as there are no more stake races to be run on Chicagos race- j trackB after Harlem Park closes its gates for the year. For the same reason each of the six stake races to be run at this meeting promises to be hotly contested, and particularly the Chicago Stakes with ,500 added, for three year-olds and upward at a mile.
