JUAREZ STALLS RAPIDLY FILLING. Mexican Course May Have Greater Number of Horses Than It Had Last Winter. El Paso, Tex., November 20. With the addition of two new winter race courses asking for the patronage of the horsemen, there was a question at one time as to whether there would be as many thoroughbreds quartered at the Juarez race course this winter as there were last year, when over S00 wintered there. Just what a hold the track across the river lias upon the horsemen and the place it occupies in the turf world at present is demonstrated bv the way the horsemen have patronized it this season. For tlie past two weeks there has been a steady stream of thoroughbreds arriving at the course from different sections of the country, rapidly swelling the already large number previously quartered then-, and it now looks as if last years figures may be exceeded. The latest arrivals include Mrs. II. Armstrong, witli Velio Forty, Swede Sam and Ladv Pender: M. Kennedy, with Transparent and Annual Interest: E. M. Phillips, with Zenotek and Mandadero; Dan Dennison, with Joe Gaitens; T. A. Davies, with John Louis and Rags, and M. Rurkhart, with Smiling Margaret and three others. Former jockey Carroll Shilling, recognized a? Americas premier race rider of recent years, was an arrival yesterday, accompanied by Mrs. Shilling. The former crack rider, who is still light enough to don the silks, has branched out as a trainer thH year, having a stable which he races in the name of his wife, and witli which he has scored some success already. His horses haie been quartered at the course for. about a week.- .Among them is the popular local favorite, Belle of Bryn Mawr.
