LOOKS FOR GREAT MEETING AT JUAREZ. El Paso, Tex., November 18. Harry F. Brie-vogel, assistant manager of the Jockey Club Juarez track, who has just arrived from the east, predicts that the coming Juarez meeting will attract more visitors to this city than ever before and that the sport In general will be more successful and more enjoyable to the patrons of the club than ever before. "The horsemen have responded liberally to tho invitation of tho Jockey Club Juarez to race here this year, with an increase in the values of the daily purses and while there are two new tracks asking for a division of the horses upon the American turf at present, I want to go on record as . stating that there will be more horses quartered at the Juarez race course for the sixth meeting of the club than ever before in its history," was the way the assistant general manager answered the question as to what effect be thought the opening of racing at New Orleans aud Havana this winter would have upon the local course. "There are several carloads of horses coming from Maryland to race over the local course, while the club has assurances from horsemen iu all sections of the country that they have not yet shipped to any course, that they are coming to our meeting . this year. The horsemen and the turf world in general have come to look upon the Juarez race course as tho turfs leading winter race plant, aud while the opening or New Orleans and Havana is bound to keep some horses away, I feel confident that we will have more and better horses here than lost year." General Manager M. J. Winn is expected to arrive during the coming week. Ed Jasper is looked for within the next few days, as Is Eugene Elrod. Judge Price is expected the early part of next week. Word comes that J. Umensetter has left Louisville, most of the horses iu his stable that had been sick having recovered. The old campaigner. Sea Cliff, died, but the rest of the stable is In fair shape. With ideal weather prevailing and a large number of horses quartered at the track, the course presents a lively scene each morning, but nothing like real fast time has as yet been made in workouts.
