RACING SEASON: The 1918-19 meet of the Cuban American Jockey Club 

 came to a close at Oriental Park, Marianao, on April 6th, and is considered the most 

 successful season they have held, during which time a number of local track records 

 were broken. The race horses were shipped North in special trains, the majority 

 of them going to Maryland and Kentucky points. 



The report that the race track plant was sold to interests associated with the 

 Havana Electric Ry., Light & Power Co. does not now appear to be confirmed, as it is 

 stated the concession held by the present owners of the race track expires shortly 

 and there is some question as to whether they will be able to get a renewai. The 

 plans of the company which is now improving the bathing beach at Marianao call 

 for the building of a pretentious race track plant and there have lately been other 

 parties here who are reported to be considering the establishing of other race tracks.
