[ CLAIMING RULE NOW j PREVAILING IN MICHIGAN j DETROIT, Mich., July 9.— With different claiming rules prevailing in most of the states, the stewards of the Detroit Racing Association, with the approval of the Michigan racing commission, issued the following construction of the claiming rule in effect in Michigan: "Where a stable is registered on the ground and any owner or part owner of such stable wishes to claim a horse, such claim must be for the account of the stable only. Should any partner in a stable desire to claim individually, he, or she, must first take out a license with the racing commission and have it approved by the presiding steward and racing secretary. In making, claims by an-owner or his authorized agent, the name of the stable -should be signed to the claim and then the signature of the person making the claim underneath it. On account of the widely divergent and constantly changing rules in regard to claiming in other jurisdictions, horses claimed in such jurisdictions will for the present at least be subject to the rules governing claiming races in these jurisdictions. This interpretation has the approval of the racing commissioner. "By order of the stewards." •
