JUAREZ FAVORITES FARE POORLY. Effect of Recent Rulings Reflected in Anxiety of Rider3 to Do Their Utmost. El Paso, Tex., December 20. Despite cold weather, conditions, a goodly crowd was in attendance at the Juarez races this afternoon. It was ladies day. Favorites fared poorly, but the racing was keenly contested. Startler furnished a surprise by winning the mile and an eighth race from Figent and Dutch Rock. She took tho lead at the rise of the barrier and galloped out in front by several lengths, onlr beginning to weaken in the final sixteenth of a mile. She had enough of a lead to win by three-quarters at a length from the fast finishing Figent. Azo, the favorite, could not raise a respectable gallop during any part of the running. John Lowe has been placed in charge of the Snyder horses, including Rey Hindoo, Amerieus and General Marchmont. Tho wholesale suspensions of jockeys which has taken place within the past week is having a salutary effect on tho riders and they are an Industrious lot when it comes to the finish.
