T. W: in all probability, would re sport at his private Arl Downs course. A year ago last fall Waggoner, millionaire oil man and sportsman, pave Texas a taste of what real racing is like, when he staged a wagerless meeting at Arlington Downs. Adhering strictly to the letter of the state’s anti-betting la the meeting was a decided suc: drawing several thousand fans d for ten days. Racing, however, would nuvt be new to El Paso. For years the! “porder city” supported a long win- | ter session at Jaurez, Mexico. Al-| though operated in Mexico it was actually an American course, d=-! pending on American money and n horses.

In 1839 a “Mr. Lynn,” Liverpool tavern proprietor, started the pro- posal to hold a stake chase of suf- ficient size in the neighborhood to| |attract the leading jumpers and sportsmen of Merrie England. Lynn, , however, collapsed under the strain of organizing such a venture, but his work was carried on by a group’ of sportsmen and the first race/| was run with 17 starters. It was| won by Lottery, which carried al then heavy weight of 12 stone (158 pounds). The field of 66, which started in' 1929, was the largesi to face the| barrier and on two occasions, 18411 and 1883, only ten horses started! the gruelling four-mile test. With| Gregalach and Shaun Goil'n, both of which have won the race, en- tered this year their owners have a chance to join the select circle of | those who have won the event| twice. To date only four hnrses‘ have duplicated—The Lamb in 1868 | and 1871, The Colonel in 1869 snd 1670, The El Kader in 1350 and' 1851 and Prothlyn in 1918 ar‘dI 1919. | ELKS T0 HAVE | BASEBALL TEAM The Elks will have 2 bascball| team in the Juneau City, League this year.
