ARRANGEMENTS FOR JUAREZ SHIPMENT. Cincinnati. O., November 6. Preliminary arrangements for the special horse train that will leave for Juarez at the close of the Latonia meeting have been completed by Eugene Elrod. The train will be made up of ten or more horse cars, two Pullmans, one baggage and a dining car. It is altogether likely that an extra Pullman will be required to accommodate the horsemen and turf followers who have spoken for berths. The shipment will bo one of the biggest that ever left this locality and the horses that will go represent some of the largest stables now racing at Latonia. Among the owners who will ship on tho special are Henry McDaniel, with 16 head: J. T. Ireland, with 10 horses; George M. Odom, 14; W. J. Spiers, 10; Green B. Morris, 6; E. M. Phillips, 4; C. P. Lamar. 4; 0. A. Bianchl, S; Lew Marion, 6; J. C. .Cahn, 6; P. J. Miles, 4; D. .C. Cottle. 4; J. W. Young, 2; A. D. Worley, 3; W. St. Vincent, 4; W. C. Weant, 3. and D. Hammond, 4. This list will be considerably augmented before the day of departure. Tho train will leave the Latonia yards of the L. and N. on Monday, November 13, as soon as the horses are loaded. The route will be to Louisville, thence to Memphis, where the train will be taken in charge by the Iron Mountain Railroad. The route from there will lead through Dallas and Fort Worth, where the train will be sent over the line of the Texas and Pacific for the last leg of the journey to El Paso, which city will be reached Thursday morning. The officials of the different roads over which the special will pass will be instructed to get it through to its destination as speedily as possible. As there will be a dining car on the train, stops will not have to be made for meals, as was the case with last years special, and the only stops that will be made will be for the purpose of changing engines. The Jockey Club Juarez officials have made arrangements for tho quick transfer of tho train to tho Juarez race track upon its -arrival at El Paso. There will be a representative of the club aboard the train, who will attend to the making out of the customs house papers, and at El Paso customs inspectors will be on hand upon the trains arrival to pass the horses through without any unneccesary delay. The ten stakes that will be decided during the first part of the meeting nro filling remarkably well, and Secretary Ed Jasper, who is at Latonia taking entries, is of the opinion that tills seasons total list of nominations will eclipse that of any former year. Mr. Jasper will not leave Latonia for El Paso until after the present meeting closes. He will be at Latonia every morning and will receive nominations until next Thursday, the day for the closing of the stakes.
