Overnight handicaps with liberal added money will I..- given in place of stakes for the better class ..r horses. The I rack at Juarez has been resoileil ami regradod so that in the event of rain there will be no cessation of rating any week there the eoastog winter, a-, was tin- case last winter. As a matter of ra-f there is no track in this country in battel order from a horsemans standpoint. Its cushion of new soil will make it fast and safe. It has been decided to discontinue tie- feci stare "ti Ihe trak and ample facilities will be given tho horsemen for delivery of feed from the outside. This will prove satisfactory to a number of turfmen, who prefer to ship their feed along with their horses or else purchase it in Jearea, Kl Pas., or California in Ihe- opea market. There will be six days racing each nook instead of seven as Formerly. Hereafter OB Mondays there will be a clay of rest. It has been found that a hundred straight days of racing is tc inch tif a strain Ixitli far the horses anil h isemen. Prespeets for the coining Juarez whiter meeting are as bright as ever. No disturbed condition 111 Mexico has ever affected the Juarez track and seae of the recent border troubles have leached Kl Paso. or the western part of Texas. 11 Paso was never si prosperous in a business way.

Tin- Juarez track for five years has held winter meetings of more than a hundred days duration. which is a record. When the coarse was laid out anil opened for the sport with the promoters, under the guidance of Manager Winn, spending thousands of dollars on the aew plant, this outlay came when it leaked like that course was the last stuncl 1 i-hot semes in this or on the border of this country. If there was over a racing plant that horsemen owe ■ debt to. it is tho Jockey club Juarez coarse in Mexico.
