"LAME" HORSE RUNS WINNING RACE. Ruvoco Scores at Juarez After His Odds Recede to 20 from Opening cf 4. Kl Paso, Tex., February 2. Kuaulirul weather prevailed today, hut a light crowd visited Juarez after the hig turn-out of yesterday. Not a single favorite scored during the afternoon, hut the racing was full of dash and vim. The Kentucky followers of the I. T. Chimi stable hacked Category heavily in the first race of the day. The favorite, C0111-mauretta. ridden by J. Doininick, who has had hut little experience, met with a mishap just after the gate went up. when Fred T. humped into her and knocked her out of contention. She was outpaced badly in the early running, hut closed like a cyclone in Hie last eightn when sue got fairly in her stride. Kuvoeo. from the stable of J. If. Kespess. was trade, the opening choice for the third race, hut while in the paddock, the horse lunged and then appeared quite lame. He receded in the betting 1 rum 4 to 20 to 1. He won easily from his thirteen opponents and there was no sign of lameness when lie pulled up. Mamie V.. a promising two-year-old liily. belonging to Dr. I. E. Clark and handled by trainer it. X. Yestal, died of fever here this niuniing. Three others in the stable have been sick, hut are thought lo lie out of danger. Jockey llaynis was suspended for ten days by starter Cassidy for disobedience al the harrier in tne second race. Jockey A. Xoylon departed for his home in Baker City. Oregon, to visit during his twenty days suspension. Iron Mask cooled out after his trial , yesterday in good shape anil this morning was seemingly noi- the worse for the performance. It is likely that hi will again be seen under colors in the Dos Republic:! Handicap Sunday. March 8. Jefferson Livingston owner of Iron Mask, received 00 from the club for allowing his gelding to make the trial. Every cent of this money lie divided among trainer Gold" blatt and jockeys Loftus, Xeylon anil Ford. After a conference with his associates iu the man ageiiient of the Jockey Club Juarez. General-Manage Matt J. Winn has virtually decided upon Sunday. March 22 as the date for the closing of the present Juarez meeting. Tills date prohably can be safely set down for the termination of the meeting, which, next to that of last season, has proved to be the best meeting since racing was inaugurated at Juarez nearly five years ago. The time for closing will make the life of the present meeting exactly 114 days, or fourteen days mure than the club promised the horsemen last fall. In making the extension Colonel Winn and his asoeiatos were acttuicd hy the best possible motives toward the horsemen, and the extension over the original advertised timi for closing was made iu order to afford the horsemen every opportunity to win as ninny purses as possible before shipping tllelf fillings to distant points. The question of arranging their plans whon the Juarez wind-up comes is becoming a serious one with those horsemen who are contemplating a campaign on the far western tracks the coming spring and slimmer. Those who intend participating iu tile racing on the Kentucky and Canadian tracks ar- not giving themselves much concern, for they know-dates for meetings oil all of these tracks will be announced in due time, hut with the western horsemen matters are entirely different. Thus far Denver is the only western track that has announced its spring dales, while other tracks that have been relied upon in the past have as yet made 110 announcement of their plans or dates for the coming season. The meetings in l!utte and other places in Montana do not commence until well 011 iu the summer months, and this will also apply to the P.ritisli Columbia tracks this year. Deliver has already announced a meeting, couiene-ing June 1.! and running to July 4, but this would entail a period of nearly three months inactivity and is not altogether pleasing to horsemen whose activities are usually confined to the far west. K. J. Allison, of Tulsa. Okhi.. who is now at Juarez, has come to the relief of the horsemen with the promise of a meeting of thirty days at Tulsa, to commence shortly after the close of Juarez racing. 55ut Mr. Allisons plans are not altogether reassuring to the horsemen and they are. figuratively speaking, up in the air. If Mr. Allison can make tile necessary arrangements with the fair association of Tulsa County iu regard to the leasing of its track he will give the meet lug.
