The track showed decided improvement and had . the effect of reducing the number of withdrawals, and. while the fields were not large, good racing resulted. Trcuiee, having a decided advantage in the weights, was quickly installed favorite in the handicap and had no trouble in easily disposing of her opponents. General Navarro, commander of the Federal forces at Juarez, and his staff, made their second visit to the races today, and profited by the success of several of tho good things that went over, notably Colonel Bronston, which placed at good odds. The further entry of Sona has been ordered refused by the board of stewards on account of her unruly actions at the post.
