HARLEM JOCKEY CLUB ENTRIES. 1 Fourteen hundred and seventy-five nomina- tions were made to the twelve stakes of the ; Harlem Jockey Club which closed February 18. In making this announcement Secretary. Nathanson claims to have reached the highest mark ever noted for events of this kind. The recently closed stake lists of the three principal Chicago tracks present these figures : No No Average Stakes.Entries.Pe"rStake. Harlem 12 1,475 . 123 Washington Park .. 17 1,912 112 Hawthorne .... 12 1,039 88 The table shows a general increase over the figures for the identical stakes of 1902. What is fully as important, it indicates a certainty of sport of the highest grade for the coming season. Harlem received more entries for twelve stakes this year than Washington Park did last year for seventeen stakes. The total is the largest on record for stakes of the kind, in spite of the fact that Washington Park received over 500 more entries this year than It did last season. Eleven- out .of the-tweLve. Harlem stakes have more than 100 entries each, the exception being the M. Lewis Clark. Its list is confined for the most part to horses entered for the Derby. Bach of the stakes, with one exception, shows a great increase in numbers over last year. The exception is the Petite, a race for two-year-old misses, and it has just six less than were named for the event last year. The five stakes for two-year-olds have a total of 582 nominations, an average of 116. The five stakes for three-year-olds and upward have a total of 703 nominations, an average of 141. Some features of unusual importance are shown by the details of the present Harlem stake list, a resume of which follows: For three-year-olds and upward.

Schorr a-nd Tichenor and Newgass. Schorr may race at Washington Park but his campaign will mainly be in the east. Tichenor and Newgass made no entries at Harlem, presumably this resenting last years ruling of the officials of that track, which barred their horse Lacri-mae for inconsistent running. The nominations from unexpected quarters, however, exceed expectations and much more than make up for the absentees. There can be no question as to the superior quality of the material shown in the Harlem offerings of this season as compared with the best class that participated in last years sport. All the great stables of the west and south, with the exceptions noted, are represented through the lists in a way that indicates their determination to race in Chicago throughout the season, while the representation from the east : indicates that some of the large owners of ; 1 ; : ; that section are contemplating racing at a Chicago track, other than Washington Park. In this fact is to be found one of the greatest promises for the future of local racing. H. T. Oxnard, the sugar magnate, has engaged his Derby candidate, Standard Bearer, in the Harlem National, the 0,000 race, aid and the Clark Stakes; James R. Keene, the financier and official of The Jockey Club, is represented by the entries of S. W. Streett; H. M. Ziegler, the former owner of Hermis, has Luke Ward and New York n., his Suburban candidates, in the Twentieth Century Handicap indicating a fall visit here, besides entering three two-year-olds; Frank Farrell has the famous Blues in the Harlem National and Twentieth Century; M. J. Daly is represented by the American Derby candidate and California Derby winner, Claude; W. L. Oliver has Lord Badge in the National and Twentieth Century; Capt. S. S. Brown, the Pittsburg coal baron, is represented in the principle events, and J. P. Croker, J. S. Stewart and M. Jordan are other eastern owners in the list of nominators. . Jn. all. 202, different stables are represented in the nominations. Among the largest nominators are E. Corrigan, with 69; Fred Cook, 68; J. A. Drake, 58; C. R. Ellison, 58; G. C. Bennett, 54; P. Dunne, 53; Durnell and Herz, 53; S. C. Hildreth, 52; B. Schreiber, 48. Burns and Waterhouse, who expected to race exclusively in the east this season, sent on entries from California and will probably race at Harlem Park, either going or coming and perhaps both. The rare quality of the material to be seen hereabouts this season can be found in the numbers named by the foregong owners as well as those of Middle-ton and Jungbluth, George J. Long, James Touhey, Caesar Young, W. H. Laudeman, E. S. Gardner, Talbot Bros., W. S. Barnes, Clay Bros.. Woodford and Buckner, D. S. Fountain, Gorman and Bauer, J. B. Respess, C. H. Smith, J. C.

Lewis Clark Stakes will again be important in its relation to the American Derby. It is for three-year-olds at nine furlongs, and this year shines with 86 entries of the choicest class, of which no less than 65 are candidates for the big derby. Last year the Clark had 76 entries, of which 46 were derby eligibles. Among the eligibles that are not also in the derby are Epicure, the California horse that is considered one of the best of his years now in training there; Esherin, John F. Schorrs Oaks winner; By Ways and Flying Ship. The race will be run June 13, and a complete list of its nominations is as follows, the stars ndicating the American Derby eligibles: Rankin Dupont Au Revoir Lem Reed Pericles Postmaster Wright Gold Bride Gregor K.

Among those in the Twentieth Century that are not in the National, are Scintillant II., the English bred horse which won the. race last year and established a new American record for the distance; Early, P. Dunnes fine colt; John Bright, which won the Harlem Handicap, and other stakes last year and Wainamoinen. The greater number in the Twentieth Century over those in the National is due to the fact that it is run in the fall when the combined strength of all stables will be in Chicago.

All the youngsters of prominence that have appeared at this early date are entered, and the fact that all of the big nominators printed in the foregoing list, have been liberal in naming their two-year-olds, bears out the prophecy that no colt or filly that indicated superior speed as a yearling has been left out. Aside from this there can be no line as to the form of the sapling racers at this time. Secretary Nathanson has been as fortunate this season as last in his efforts to induce owners to hand in the names of their two-year-olds, and in this detail the Harlem Park stake book will be of special interest. The secrecy that usually envelopes the identity of the youngsters trained by the leading western owners will be removed by this publication. The season of racing at Harlem Park will be one of forty-three days only, but the program of stakes, overnight handicaps and purses will call for the distribution of over 00,000. Purses will be increased in value and an effort made to maintain the cross country sport to a high standard and in keeping with that on the flat. Ten or more stakes for decision during the fall meetings will be announced in July.
