El Paso, Tex., February 12. An exceedingly high and warm wind blew over the Juarez course today, but did not deter the crowd from coming out or mar the afternoons sport. Three favorites, one second choice and two outsiders accounted for the card. Hazel C. sprinted away from a big baud of selling platers in the fifth race and won in a common canter. The feature race of the day was a seven-furlong allowance affair, which fell to Bursal, the public choice. He defeated John Reunion in a hard stretch drive when John Reardon appeared to have the race won. Bonne Chance raced miserably, failing to show any of his usual speed and finishing beaten off. Jockey A. Claver, who has become a strong favorite with local racegoers, signalized his return to the saddle after a five days suspension by winning the last two races on which he had the mounts on Hazel C. and Trojan Belle.
