Map of the Automobile Circuit in Havana. The circuit for the automobile races has been 

 completed and Cuba can now boast of a splendid race course of approxiinately the same mileage as 

 the Vanderbile course. The roads making the circuit are in good order and very little work is 

 necessary to qualify them as a high speed track. 



Coming Horse Races. 



The officials for the Havana meeting, De- 

 cember 1 to January 31, have been named. 

 They are as follows: Presiding judge, 

 Thomas J. L. Brown ; clerk of the scales, 

 Charles Campau ; starter, James Milton ; 

 entry clerk and paddock judge, Joseph Mc- 

 Lennan. 



Representatives of the Cuban Racing As- 

 sociation here made arrangements to send 

 to' Havana a large number of American 

 horses which are usually raced in the South 

 during the winter. 



Regarding the preparation, the La Lucha 

 of Nov. 11 said as follows: 



There is nothing being done as yet to 

 get the track and grand stand ready for the 

 proposed meet. There is a large ?mount 

 of work to be done on the track, while the 

 grand stand is badly out of repair, and 

 needs a large amount of work on it.''

 from Cuba for four years ending 1906, the

The Cuban Horticultural Society has at 

 last succeeded in getting a place in which 

 to hold their annual exhibit. The first was 

 held last in Havana last January and ex- 

 cited much favorable comment. The next 

 exhibition will, through the kindness of 

 Harris Bros., be held in one of the large 

 rooms of their store on O'Reilly street. 



The statue of Cervantes, which cost 

 $5,000, was unveiled Nov. 1 in San Juan de 

 Dios Park, now to be known as Cervantes 

 Park. The statue is the work of an Italian 

 sculptor, Carlos Nicoli. 



The Havana Telegraph became, on Nov. 

 1, a morning paper instead of afternoon.
