HAWTHORNE HANDICAP WEIGHTS. To Manager and Secretary Harry Kuhl has fallen the honor of being first to announce weights for a handicap to be run in Chicago in 1903. Considering that the present form of most of the horses engaged in the Hawthorne Handicap Is largely a matter of conjecture, it must be said that he has apportioned -the weights equitably r.nd with good judgment. The handicap division of western horses is very strong this year, on paper. Especially is this true of the four-year-olds. McChesney, Lucien Appleby, Allan-a-Dale, Belles Commoner, Owenton, Runnels, Wyeth, Otis, Glen Water, Aladdin, Abe Frank, Terra Firma, Inventor, Bessie Spahr, Alabarch, Port Royal, Old Hutch, South Trimble, Evea G., Jack De-mund, Lord Quex, Caliban, Red Comyn and Harry New constitute a band of that age handicapped at 110 pounds and over, that alone would suffice to furnish a grand race of doubtful result. Of the foregoing, Owen-ton, Abe Frank, Allan-a-Dale, Terra Firma, Inventor and Bessie Spahr were retired for infirmities of one sort or another last year and may not train on this year, but the others are all sound horses of more than average class. Of the same age, but rated lower in the weights, Little Scout, Dewey, Jordan, Picquart, Potheen, Hoodwink, Hargis and St. Tammany are all credited with meritorious performances. Declarations are due April 1. We shall then know what owners think of the weights assigned their horses and after that can canvass the chances of those left in. The weights are as follows: Weights for the Hawthorne Handicap, 1 mile and a furlong, to be run Saturday, May 23. The Hawthorne Handicap. A sweepstakes for three-year-olds and upward, by subscription of 5 each for entrance; 50 additional to start, 0 forfeit, or only 5 if declared out by April 1. Guaranteed cash value to be 0,000, of which ,500 to the second and 00 to the third horse. Weights to be announced on March 2. A winner after publication of weights of a race of ,500 to carry 4 pounds; of two of ,500 or one of ,000, 8 pounds; of two of ,000, 12 pounds penalty; penalties to apply to the extent of one-half only to horses handicapped at 116 pounds or more, and to the extent of one-quarter only to horses handicapped at 122 pounds or more, and not to apply to horses handicapped at 128 pounds or more; and shall not make the weight for a three-year-old exceed 112 pounds.
