of s to /.

JUAREZ, Mexico, March 20.-Miller
Henderson and Pat" Kneblekamp,
Kentucky turfmen, put over a couple
of good things at the Juarez course
this afternoon. One of their winners
was Tory Maid, which after being
heavily backed took the measure of
Mex and 1nez in the Montezuma handi-
cap, the feature event. The other win
ner saddled by the Louisville turfmen
was Thelma Marie in the baby" race.
Little VIII only won from Grapeshot
in the last couple of strides in the
third, but he was pounds the best, and
was handled in miserable fashion by
Mott or he would have won off by
himself. Cecil finished third in this
race.
Pay Streak Was big favorite for
the second, but he bled and finished
outside the money. Brdman proved an
easy winner of the race. Goldy fur
nished surprise by winning the fifth
at good odds. Pontefract was backed
into favoritism. but he stopped badly,
Only two favorites were successful to-
day.
