With every hotel and apartment
house in the city filled to overflowing,
and every train that comes bringing
more race lovers for the tug winter
meeting, El Paso bids fair to arhive
at the prediction of the men who
fathered the Juans plant, and become
the greatest racing center that this
eotintry bus seen since the sport was
discontinued in New York.
The pastime has been on the in-
t lease in every way at the over-river
course since the first year. The class
of horses has shown a steady Increase
for the better- The class of men who
hat *1 Journeyed here has steadily bet-
tered until this season finds many of
the foremost men In tho sport al-
ready housed for the long meeting.
These men who stand for all that is
best in the racing game, in several In-
stances, represent millions of money.
They are men who have always been
accustomed to the best, that money
can buy men who In the major part,
race their stables for the honor Of
winning more than for the money at-
tached, as In many cases with the big
followers of tho pastime, the mone-
tary consideration Is a secondary con-
sideration.
There are men In the racing game
who are horse lovers, men who would
rather see a clean-limbed thorough-
bred of their own raising get down in
front with their colors up than to win
a bet. This fact Is a hard one for the
reformer to understand. With little
knowledge of the sport, the anti-race
man thinks the sole object of Its fol-
lowers Is lti chance feature.
Perhaps the best example of this
love of the horse, for the horse Itself,
is Illustrated In the passing of the
great stable of J. R. Keene, This high
grade gentleman has made turf history
with his horses that will Uvo long
after the reformer who shouts “down
with racing” has been consigned to ob-
livion, and he never made a bet on
a race horse In his career. He raised
the dainty thoroughbreds because he
loved them, because he was a man >f
means and could afford to Indulge his
one taste.
It is the consensus of opinion of all
of the big men, who are here for the
first time this season, that El Paso will
be the mecca of every big stable in
the United States within the next two
years to come. There Is little chance
of a big winter racing plant at any
other ^tolnt and the fact is that this
city will be the king of racing centers.
The accompanying composite cut,
showing the business section of 101
Paso and two scenes from tho Juarez
plant, will be sent to many centers
where El Paso is only a name, and
many like those who are here now will
be brought face to face with the fact
that here in the- Southwest is spring-
ing up a city that is destined to become
the commercial spot of the section.
With Us growth as a commercial cen-
ter will come its growth as a great
racing center, and with the new and
better accommodations that are being
added each year, El Paso will shortly
become, unless all signs fall, one of
the great winter resorts of the conti-
nent.

Pur months Mrs. Britton tried to

It may be that she will wreck organ-

Initiative rests with him and he can
either kill the octopus and do his fel-
low players a great benefit or he can
listen to reason and go buck in the or-

Bresnahan Is a man that hns a will

It will ho a safe bet that the restitu-

SIX DAY CYCLE HACK.
Big Annual Slx-Dny Event to Be Fea-
ture of New York -Season.
Under the auspices of the Garden
Athletic club the six-day bicycle race,
which has been an annual atfair In
New York sine 1891, again will be
staged In Madison Square garden, be-
ginning the week of Oecember 9. The
race will be managed by John M.
Chapman, who has been Identified
with cycle racing for more than twen-
ty years.
Of the thirty riders who will com-
pete fourteen will be foreigners, rep-
resenting Italy, France, Germany,
Switzerland, Sweden, Australia and
New Zealand. The contest will be a
team race, but there will be many
changes in the rules and conditions
designed to eliminate the loafing and
delays that have been disagreeable
features of the last five or six races.
Big “Alf" Grenda, of Australia, Is
the first to sign a contract. to race.
He put his name to a contract Satur-
day and will have as partner “Ernie”

Already they are beginning to ^alk
short round boxing bouts at the club
smokers in the city and as there is a
world of good material here, it Is ex-
pected that there will be some of the
best contests that have been seen lo-
cally in years, when the season gets
going.

Possibly you have observed that the
most flagrant exaggeration is most
likely to be labeled a conservative
statement.
Kimball Patteraon, brother of Chaa.
F. Patterson, of Oranament, Hamburg
and May Hempstead fame. Is in tne
city- He Is paying his first visit to
the greatest winter racing plant In
Anicricit?
Patterson, himself a clever train-
er, is reckoned one of the best of
the younger men In the pastime. He
is much impressed with the outlook
for the meeting here and says that
there Is no doubt that this is going
to be one of the greatest racing cen-
ters In the world In a few years to
come. ,
Reverting to hls personal success In
the “preplng” of young horses, he per-
haps stands alone in a long list of men
who ply the vocation.
Hls specialty Is the bringing out of
medium priced youngsters and he has
given to the turf world such sterling
performers as Rocy O’Brien, Media-
lion, and many others in hls career.
This season he has devoted hls time
to the bringing out of a lot of young-
sters. In a list that included 225
yearlings sold In Kentucky he trained
and sent to the post forty. This list
Includes many that give great prom-
ise of being in the front ranks of rac-
ing tools when they have developed.
Speaking of the wondefiul looking
up of the yearling thoroughbred mar-
ket In Kentucky, Mr. Pattersov is of
the opinion that the demand Is Uetter
now than In the past five years, ’ynd
it is reasonable to expeot that there
will be a great demand within thb
year to come, for the Interest of tho
wealthy men who are fostering the
Piping Rock trials has stimulated a
desire on the part of other big wealthy
organizations to follow In the foot-
steps of the New York clubmen.
This fact is better emphasized, said
Mr. Patterson, by the fact that the
sales held this year in Lexington failed
to supply the demand and, too, there
are fewer yearlings now in Kentucky
than any year In the history of tho
sport. This is occasioned by the ten-
dency of big breeders to ship most
of the youngsters obroad, where the
market has been so much better than
in America. Against an average of 5,-
500 yearlings raised each year In the
past in America last year saw a drop-
t ng to less than 2,200.
Speaking on the outlook of the sport
in America, Mr. Patterson is of the
opinion that many English and French
ideas will have to be installed before
the sport will be on the plane upon
which It stands In Europe. And the
first Is the supervision of the trainers.
He thinks that every Tom, Dick anl
Harry should not be permitted to sign
hls name trainer. That the Jockey
clubs should make the trainer a mat-
ter to be gravely considered. That the
man who secures a license to train
horses should pass an examination and
pay a good round sum for hls license.
In this way excluding those who are
not able to qualify as men who are
masters of the sport If the fee is
made big enough the riffraff will be
shuttled out of the pastime, to Its bet-
terment.
