INTRINSIC BEATS ROUND THE WORLD. EI Paso, Tex., February 22. Despite the continued inclemency of the weather a fair-sized crowd attended the races at Terrazas Pari: today, the principal feature of the card being the Washington Handicap, at one mile. Contested by a numerically weak field and, seemingly, at the mercy of the top-heavy favorite, Round the World, the race resulted in one of the biggest upsets of the meeting. Se-bago, the Dunne candidate, declined the Issue, and Pit a-Pat, from the stable of W. F. and L. E. Fine, was added at a late hour. After showing superior speed in the early running the favorite began to tire in the last part of the race and succumbed to the stretch challenge of Intrinsic. In the early part of the day odds-on favorites were bowled over with regularity. The talent in a measure recovered their early losses by the success of Florence A. and Fred Mulhollaml. T. II. Ryan, G. W. Dodge, Ben Levy and W. Hart arrived today from Oakland. Mr. Ityans horses, Downpatrick and June W.. are on the way. L. P. OLeary arrived with the useful Inclement. Jockey Eddie Taplin came into the limelight by piloting three winners. El Paso is to have a new hotel costing about ,-000, thanks largely to the efforts of Col. Matt Winn, who interested eastern capital in the enterprise. It will be built at the Junction of El Paso and West San" Antonio streets and will be ready for occupancy early lu 1912.
