Conning Tower Defeats Wilhite in an Exciting Finish — Carrie Orme Runs Away from Undaunted — Track Becoming Fast. El Paso. Texas. Decemlier 1. — The best card of the present season was offered the patrons of raciiig Juarez this afternoon and the attendance was in keeping with the offering. A seven-eighihs handicap for all ages and a three-quarters sprint for three-year-olds and over wen? contested by horses good quality and attracted the greatest interi-st. The handicap resulted in a nose victory for Conning Tower, the even money favorite over Wilhite, the second choice. The others were lM-aten off. Conning Tower held a good lead in the early running, but Wilhite hooked up with him i:i the stret-U and the two had it out clos-ly to the finish. Shilling was a bit overconfident and it nearly cost Conning Tower the race. Carrie Orme made every post a winning one in the third. Her odds receded in the betting, while there was heavy hacking for l.ndauntcd. The latter was the runner up until well into the stretch, tlicu Sosius got up to beat her for second place. Moonlight, quoted at long odds, won the opening race off by himself, with The Monk and Bonnies Buck, two other outsiders, second and third. The second race went to Miss Fielder from the Weir stable in a close finish with Old Bob. The days now are delightfully warm and the track is rapidly working into fast condition, as demonstrated by the time recorded. John Lowe went through here yesterday on his way to New Orleans, where he will race a string of horses numbering about twenty head. Recent arrivals include M. Irvine and M. I oyle. The latter came from Reno. Manager M. J. Winn arrived today from the east.
