JUAREZ LAYERS HAVE PROFITABLE DAY. Public Choices All Go Down to Defeat at Mexican Course Husky Lad Finally Wins. El Paso. Tex., December 22.--Tlie card ,today was made up of selling races and not a single favorite scored. The layers reaped a harvest. Husky Lad, which had been backed to win in several preceding starts, finally made good in the seven-furlong race that was third on the program. He was differently ridden today, being reserved behind the pacemakers and sent after the leaders in the stretch. The hardest jolt the talent received was in the fifth, when Paw met with defeat because of rough riding. Molesworth was forced to take the colt up abruptly before he got well settled into his stride.
