WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent
wAaHISGToS. D. c.. May II. 1877.

Cuban matters are rapidly coming
to a head The administration has
received information from Consul
General Lee and other L. :. officials
in Cuba which has been laid before
the senate committee on foreign re-
lations, and which it is believed may
result in definite action on the part
Of this government. 1t is very plain
that the Spanish officials have been
deceiving this government right
along as to the condition Of affairs in
Cuba.

WITH TROTTER AND PAGER.
Dieetwood's Spring Meeting Opens Tomorrow
with n Good Card.

Everything at Fleetwood Park is in readiness
for the opening of the spring trotting meeting
tomorrow. and unless the harness racing critics
are mistaken New York horscmen have before
them four days of excellent sport. A lot of high
class horses are now quartered at the old track
awaiting the sound OF the starters bell. and
others have yet to arrive from Baltimore. Phila-
dslphia. and other trotting centres.
The New York spring meeting has seldom
failed to bring into prominence a number of trot-
tiers and PAGERS that later In tho season figured
prominently In the Grand Circuit. Two years
ago William Penn. 2:o7L. Falkland, 2:l34;
Cephas. 2:1lA; Prince Purdy. 2:l54; Mer-
man, 2;12l4, and the PAGERS Mascot, Jr.,
2:1OA, and Prairie Lilly, 2:l14, were
among the orack-a-jacks uncovered, and
in 1896 there were Page. 2:09A; Baron Crisp.
2:l2ia; Grace Hastings. 2:l2; Azmon. 2:l3la;
Ernsie. 2:l4i2; Straight Line. 2:l5l2, and other
high-class performers OF the summer campaign
that first gave evidence OF their prowcss at the
Fleetwood races in June. Unfavorable weather
for training has SO retarded the preparation of
some OF the best flyers this season that the speed
average may BIO expected to fall somewhat short
of tho high standard uof last spring, but good
sport Is certain TO be developed, and it will be an
on ye ar IL more than one future turf star is not
discovered among tine winners OF the week.
Horsemen will DO glad to learn that Budd
DOble has consented to oticiate in the judges
stand during the Fleetwood meeting. He enjoys
the confidence OF owners. drivers, bettors, and
spectators. and his long experience in the sulky
should enable him to see every phase of a race.
Incompetent work In the judges stand has
marred nearly every t~rotting meeting held at
Fleetwood of late years. James Butler, the
President of tho Driving Club, says he is de-
termined to have no more happenings like the
PAge.Van Zandt dead heat OF last fall II they
can DO avoided by the selection OF experienced
judges. Matthew Riley and 4. d. Slater will
be associated with Mr.. Doble in the stand
tomorrow. James Culberston. formerly OF
Chicago, has been engaged TO start the
horses. Tuesdays card is made up OF the 2:24
