 Hubtngers vs. Harrington. SUIT TO RECOVER $1, 900 FOR ENTRY RIGHTS TO RACES. The Hubinger Brothers of this city have sued E. F. Harrington, of Grand Rapids, Mich, to re- cover $1, ,O00, which is the price of two entry rights to the races which were held in Spring field, Mass, in the summer of 1890. The case will be tried at the December term of the su- perior court of Michigan, holden in Grand Rap ids. The Hubingers are represented by A. R. Rood of Grand Rapids and Tyler, Ingersol 6 Moran of this city, who have recently concluded taking depositions in the case in Springfield, Hartford and this city.
 In 1890 the Hubngers held the right to start a horse in the 22s class and also in the 2:2s class These rights cost the Hubingers $1,0OO. AS the Hubingers decided not to start any Of their own horses they sold the rights, as they were trans ferable.
 They therefore sold their two rights of entry to Eli F. Harrington of Grand Rapids, who named the mare Ripple to start This horse for merly belonged to rank Noble of Grand Rapids, who was ruled off the tracks of the National as- sociation for crookedness.
 When Harrington and his horse arrived at Charter Oak park previous to going to Spring field Secretary King of the Hartford associa- tion refused to allow the start, claiming that it was ineligible as Noble still owned an interest in the animal. The Springfield association had the action of the Hartford association they re- fused to allow the horse to start. Harrington threatened to institute proceedings against the association, but they offered to return his entry money and expenses, which paci1ed him. As he had not paid the Hubingers for the entry rights he refused to do so, on the ground that he had not been allowed to enter Harrington could have started horse that was eligible but he could not start horse that was ineligible.
