STAKE EVENT
Captures the Navidad Handicap
, in Brilliant Fashion
LOWERS THE TRICK RECORD
And Defeat* Fined Field of Thorough-
bred* that Ever Faced the Barrier
on a Winter Race Cour*e
The magnificent victory of J. W.
Fuller'* colt. Injury in the Navidad
handicap yesterday at Terrazas Park,
In which the son of Marchmont II met
and defeated one of the finest fields
of thoroughbreds that ever faced a
barrier on a winter race track In
America, was easily the feature of the
brilliant day's racing, which the Juar-
ez Jockey Club provided for its pat-
rons yesterday afternoon.
The day' was an ideal one for rac-
ing and a large crowd, one of the.
largest of the season, took advantage
of the fact that It was Christmas and
that the Juarez Jockey Club had made
it possible for them to witness the
running of one of the greatest con-
tests ever staged upon a race course.
There were fully four thousand people
on the grounds when the horses pa-
raded to the post in the feature event
of the day.
The Grand Meld In Stake.
Nine of America’s most famous
thoroughbreds, animals that have de-
lighted the lover of the thoroughbred
on the eastern tracks the. past sum-
mer, struggled yesterday for the large
purse which had been hung up by
the jockey club. Everyone of the
starters faced the barrier fit to run
the race of its life, and every one had
its admirers who gave the noble thor-
oughbred strong support in the ring.
It was just a few minutes before
4 o'clock when the bugle blew calling
the horses to the post for what was
to be the greatest racing event of
the year. A few minutes after the
call had been sounded, the first of
the parade of animals appeared com-
ing out of the paddock gate, the noble
Jack Atkin, one of the grandest thor-
oughbreds that the turf has known,
leading the parade, fully alive to the
fact that thousands of admiring eyes
were turned hi* way. -
Green Seal was Number I.
Following Jack Atkin came Green
Seal, carrying the colors of the Rt.
James stable, and the? star of the
large stable which the owner of the
Bt. James stud races on the courses
Of America. This horse was well
thought of yesterday and proved to be
one of the heaviest backed of the nine
starters. Following Green Seal came
the large beautiful chestnut colt, Har-
rtgan. the star from the bam of Her-
man Brandt and one of the most sen-
sational performers at the meeting.
Jockey McGee wore the blue, red and
black of the Brandt stable.
Fourth in line was Hound the j
tVorld, the two-year-old from the
stable of W. G. Tanke, who was the j
sensation of the turf this season. Al- |
though asked to do w-hat no two-
• ear-old has found possible, the game i
■
little miss did not lack for admirers.
Jockey Forehand wore the red of
the Yunke stable as pilot of the ftlly.
Cherryola In Fifth Position.
In the middle of the parade, at-
tracting a great deal of attention from
those that have read about her bril-
liant performances on the turf hut
had never had the chance to view her,
came Cherryola. J. T. Ireland’s grand
mare, making her second start at this
meeting. George Mountain, a vet-
eran of the saddle was up wearing
the orange and green of the Ireland
stable. Following Cherryola was
Taboo, with little Benschotten hand-
ling the reins.
In number seventh position was
the brown colt that was destined to
become the hero of the race about <p
be run. Injury, the beautiful brow^
gelding was greatly admired going to
the post, his long slender barrel and
beautiful arched head attracting a
great deal of attention, especially
from the ladies in tho stand. Injury
was ridden yesterday by Jockey It.
Wilson, who has had so much success
at this meeting with the horses of the
Texas turfman.
Tlu- Favorite was Number 8.
in the eighth position came, Polls,
winner of the Jacksonville Derby last
March and the horse that had the dis-
tinction of being favorite among that
field yesterday, certainly a position
that w'as honor enough for any horse.
The colored lad. J. Murphy, who has
been riding in such brilliant form at
this meeting lately, wore the silks of
K. L. Thomas, the man In Whose
name the favorite was entered. Hel-
met the star of the stable of F,. R.
Bradley, brought up the rear of the
grandest field of horses of the season.
Injury's victory was a well earned
one and stamps the colt as one of the
best In training. Certainly he left
no doubt as to who was best in the
race that was decided yesterday
afternoon. Outrun early, he picked
up his field gradually, in spite of the
terrific early pace set, and when
straightened out for the final struggle
overhauled the leaders and held the
entire field safe in the final struggle.
It was a magnificent performance by
a magnificent thoroughbred.
Injury ?. Texas Owned Thoroughbred.
The victory of Injury yesterday was
especially pleasing to local race-goers
as his owner is known as one of the
largest breeders of thoroughbreds in
the Isynt- Star state. Mr. Fuller bred
and raised Injury and the victory of
the colt was gratifying in the extreme
to his owner and the many friends
of the latter, who was kept busy re-
ceiving congratulations after the vic-
tory of his colt.
Too much praise cannot be given
Jockey R. Wilson, who piloted the
Fuller colt to victory. He rode a per-
fect race on the thoroughbred, made
his move at Just the right time, using
excellent Judgment all the way
through. Rome of those riding In the
stake yesterday have greater reputa-
tions than the bov who rode the win-
ner yesterday hut none of them rode
a better race than did this boy, who
will not lack for mounts At the rest
of the meeting.
1 larrtgan is the Hero,
As brilliant as was the victory of
Injury the performance of Brandt's
star, H*rrigan does not suffer much
from comparison. It takes a truly
great thoroughbred to carry 122
pounds over r^iib- and one sixteenth
against a NWf as paraded to the
post yesterday and after setting such
a terrific pace a* did Ha rrigan yes-
terday to hang on at the end as did
the P-randt star. It I* true that he
waa not among the first three at the
end, but he was only three lengths
behind the winner and every one that
tried to race with him the first seven
eighths finished fur In the ruck at the
end.
The fractional time made by Harrl-
gan was remarkable, considering the
amount of weight that he was carry-
ing. The first quarter was run in 24,
the half in 48 2-5, the three quarters
ill 1:12 3-5, the mile In 1:88 2-5, while
Injury’s time for the entire distance
was 1:45, which clipped a fifth of a
second off of the track record and
puts it within a fraction of the world’s
record. It was truly a magnificent
performance by a magnificent thor-
oughbred.
Polls Showed a Grand Performance.
| Polls, the favorite in the betting,
*»ully justified the confidence placed
^ him by running a grand race. At
the head of the stretch, it seemed al-
most certain that he would prove tho
ultimate winner but he could not
withstand the determined challenge of
Injury and Cherryola and had to be
content with third place, ills back-
ers and admirers may well feci proud
of his showing.
Cherryola, who finished second in
the stake yesterday, being but a length
behind the winner, fully lived up to
the magnificent reputation that pre-
ceded her to these parts. Her race
yesterday was a brilliant one. She
was even slower to get under way than
was the winner and did not move up
ns. rapidly. But the finish saw her
there fighting it out gamely with In-
jury but try as ahe would, she could
not cut down the lead of the, wlrtner.
A New Record for Terrazas Park.
As stated above the time hung out
for the race places a new mark for
the distance at Terrazas Park, the
old mark having been held by Mead-
ow. Some owners timing the race
separately caught the time as 1 :44 3-5,
while others caught it at 1:45. It
was the second track record to to-
lowered In the past few days ami a*
has been stated frequently In these
columns, the others will all he low-
ered before the present meeting ends.
The betting on the stake event yes-
terday proved it to be one of th-- most
open races of the meeting. The hooks
opened Jack Atkin in the position of
favorite, on the strength of his fast
workout a few days ago. Polls and
Harrtgan were opened a* the second
choices. The other* were opened at
price* that ranged up to 15 to 1, the
latter being the figures quoted against
the chances of Green Seal, Hound the
World and Taboo.
Talent Went to Polls.
The talent passed up the famous
Jack Atkin, not being sure as to hts
ability to carry his large burden over
the route of the race yesterday. In-
stead they went to the chances of
Poll* and at post time the Thomas
candidate was the favorite in the race,
threes being the best quotation. Har-
rigan and Jack Atkin cloned at fours
and the others remained steady at
their opening figures with the excep-
tion of Helmet, who was played down
from 8 to a price of 5 at post time.
Starter Cajrsldy sent the large field
away to a beautiful start and Harrt-
gan. aa was to be expected, went out
to the front to set the pare, and a
heartbreaking one It was. going down
the back stretch a length ahead of
Jack Atkin, who hail Round the
World lapped upon him, Helmet was
in fourth position with Polls fifth.
Injury sixth. Green Heal seventh,
Cherryola eighth and Taboo ninth.
Harrtgan ]>ad* at Far Torn.
Rounding the far turn Harrtgan
waa still setting a ‘ terrific pace out
In front being a length and a half in
rmt
frontVof Jack Atkin with Round tile
World still close up In third position
and the rest of the field closely
bunched. Hounding the far turn, the
fight for positions ended and every
one of tlie boys began to get ready
for the final struggle that meant
fame and fortune for their mount and
his owner.
Turning for home Harrtgan was
still running strongly, still out in
front determined to stick I here to the
end if possible. Jack Atkin was still
second here but Polls had moved up
into third position with injury and
Cherryola, looming up dangerously In
fifth and sixth positions. Once
straightened out in the stretch, every
boy in the race began to ride for the
best of his ability, calling upon his
mount for one last desperate burst of
speed. Harrtgan held onto his slight
advantage until opposite the paddock
gate when the excessive early efforts
and the large burden began to tell
arid he eoulil not withstand the de-
termined challenge* of Polls, Injury
and Cherryola In the order named.
A Fierce Struggle to the End.
At a point opposite the betting ring
-rile race resolved Itself Into' a des-
perate struggle between Injury, c'her-
rfbla Hnd Polls. Slowly but surely,
the white colors of the Fuller stable
could be seen drawing away from the
other two competitor* and amid the
cheers of the thousands in the stand,
injury flashed past the Judges' stand,
the winner of the greatest ruee In tho
history of the southwest. When tho
winner returned to the stand to be
unsaddled, he received the undivided
applause of the entire stand, u grand
tribute to a grand racehorse.
Four I aiorites Win.
Four favorites and two outsiders
rewarded their hackers during the
afternoon and the public had all the
best of tho daily argument with the
ring. Flying Wolf in the first race,
Gena 1x--h In the second and High
Culture In the third and Cat in the
fifth race wore the winning choices
and every one was heavily backed,

the victory of Flying Wolf and Rena
!,ech being particularly pleasing to
I he talent as both of the choices were
hacked from 6 to 5 until 3 to 5 was
the very best obtainable.
The defeat of Buna in the last event
arid of the favorite in Ihe stake event
were heavy blows to the talent and
both wore heavily backed. Buna open-
ed at 2 in the last and was backed
down to 8 to 5, but fourth was the
best that alio could accomplish, the
race being won by Oobleakill, qtioted
at 8 to 1 in, tho betting. The latter
went right out to the front at the
rise of the barrier and outran his
field the entire distance.
Flying Wolf took the first event
easily getting away first and making
every post a winning one. Rena Reeh
took the second but only after a hard
drive right at the end. Miss Caith-
ness being the one to furnish conten-
tion at the wire. High Culture, mak-
ing his first start at this meeting
captured the third event rather hand-
ily from a. large field, laying out of
it until the stretch turn where ho ran
over tho leaders and won going away.
Cat, took the fifth event In hollow
fashion outrunning her field from the
rise of tho barrier and winning In a
canter.

OI.lt INDIAN FORT
HAZED TO I III : GROUND.
Ay.r,rioted Prcti Dlhpnhh.
Safford, Arts., Dee. :i The old
adobe building at tin cast - nd of town
Is being torn down and with It goes
an old land mark Intimately associat-
ed with the history of Sail ed In tho
early 70’s and 80’s.
This structure was strongly built a*
a fort where all the inhabitants for
miles around Could gather In times of
peril snd defend themselves. Having
th-- treacherous Apache as a near
neighbor was not productive of a feel-
ing of security and many an alarm
was given when the fort offered shel-
ter to all the people In Ihe vicinity.
One night a friendly squaw swam
the swollen river to give warning of a
contemplated attack planned for (he
next evening. The fort became the
scene of grest activity in a few hour*
and all was in readiness In a short
time for the expected raid, hut tho In-
diana found out that the whites were
on the alert and the danger parsed.
The old building was used by John
Blake es a general merchandise store
in the 90's and later In came tin- abode
of numerous Mexican families. The
proper!’ now belong* to tlie Halford
mill and the ground room will lie used
as an adjunct to the business of thr-
Rlili.
