TRACK READY IN DECEMBER 



The opening date of the new race track at 

 Marianas, near Havana, has been set for 

 December 24th, by Mr. H. D. Brown, the 

 well-known turfman. 



One of the prizes for the opening day is said 

 to be for $10,000. 



Owners from all the principal turf centers in 

 the United States wUl look to Havana for 

 a chance to send their best horse flesh. 



A grand stand of steel and concrete is now 

 being built and there will be daily work on 

 the track until the opening day to bring it 

 into the pink of condition. 



August Belmont has sold his racer Flitaway 

 to Southern parties who are getting together 

 a stable to be represented at these races. 



The Cuban government has instructed the 

 engineer in charge of the public works in the 

 Isle of Pines to continue work on the Jucaro 

 dock, the Cayo Bonito and the Mai Pais
