PLANS FOR FORTY-DAY
RACE MEET At HAVANA
Capitalists to Build Grandstand and
Track to Cost $4,000.

NEW ORLEANS. La. March IA
winter race meeting Of forty days dur
( alton viii be conducted at Havana
cuba. next season. Such is the an
nouncement made today Coming from
an authoritative source the declaration
Is attracting the serious attention Of
local racing interests.
James d. Cawthorne. a Havana citf-
zen ostensibly. but in reality the rem
resentative of the winter passenger lines
between Middle States points and the
cuban capital. was a visitor at tho
trackside and Incidental to an fnspection
OF the Crescent City Jockey Clubs plant
unfolded the details OF the scheme for
the establishment of thoroughbred rae
ing on he island.
According 10 Cawthorne the racing
plant OF the Havana Sports and Racing
Association. which failed so utterly in
giving meeting last winter. has been
acquired by a new and immensely strong
syndicate which proposes giving forty
days racing with $500 purses and 81 200
handicaps. Il has also secured rights
and special privileges for a foreign teIe-
graphic service over the Havana -FIori-
da Coast cable. which means the furn-
ishing OF its race results to American
DoolrOoms
The present plan is TO erect a first
class race course, with a steel grand
stand and a very fast track at an outlay
OF Sl50,oO0- The work Of construction
will proceed at once. while a list OF
stakes viii be presented to horsemsn
late in the present year Agent Cav
thorne thinks the period OF the project
ed meeting will run from December %
to January 30. 1904.
Havana is becoming a more favorite
winter resort for New Workers and East
erners every year. and feel assured Of
a great future for racing at Havana.

building is wired and piped for cleo
tricity and gas and either light may
be used. The heat used will be the
Yaryan hot water system and this
does away with the necessity for a
furnace in the building.
The plans of the house were made
by Mr.. and Mrs. Glaze themselves.
There was no particular attempt at
any special form of architecture or
exterior decoration. The form of
the building was made to coi.1orm to
the conveniences planned on the IN
terror. The east and south is orna-
mented by roomy porch and Sec
ond story portico helps the appear
ance Of the east front. All in all the
new home is about as near the ideal
as is possible for man to make for
himself. No expense has been spared
in any direction to make the building
substantial and good. The best OF
material was used in the construc-
ton and the progress of the work
was superintendent by Mr.. Glaze him
self. The house was "built by the
day" and it was we'll built, making
one Of the best buildings In point OF
construction to be found anywhere in
the city.

who is the best optician in Oska-
loosa? Who is the best optician in
the country, or in Iowa for that mat
ter? There is but one opinion among
those who know, and a lot Of people
know. They one ana all say Prof,
Mayne Arnold. They have tried him
and found out. There is every reas'
on why he should be the best. From
his earliest youth he was specially ed
ucated for this work. Four years OF
study at the largest eye college OF
the world After that fifty years ex,
perience has given him such prof.
cheney that he can boldly say no mis-
takes, no failures.
What? Can he correct every case
and make sight pepfect2 o, no; not
by any means. But ne substantially
benefits all cases ne accepts. Those
he cannot help after careful scien-
tifc examination are dismissed with
out costing them one cent. Howev-
er, Prof. Mayne Arnold can give
many names Of those who have visit
ed distant cities and paid exorbitant
prices to noted experts, receiving
only disappointment. These same
people procured glasses from Prof.
Arnold afterwards at moderate
price which have proved perfectly
satisfactory. Many such live
in Oskaloosa and Prof. Arnold
will give their names with pleasure.
One thing more to be mentioned is
the enormous stock OF fine glasses
carried by the professor. Beyond all
odds the largest in Iowa. When
coming from Red Oak to Oskaloosa
his goods occupied two large 40-foot
cars loaded to the roof. Forty.foot
cars are the largest freight cars
used This viii give an idea of his
immense line of goods, among the
most extensive carried by the worlds
greatest opticians.
Much more might be said, but at
this time let it suffice to say If you
have been many times disappointed,
make one more effort to obtain good
sight In making this effort be sure
and consult Prof Wayne Arnold, who
frequently succeeds beyond the most
sanguine expectations after great ex-
perts Of the largest cities have sig
nally failed.

A MODEL HOME.
The New F. w. Glaze Residence is
Ready for Occupancy.

f. W. Glaze is moving into his new
home on South Market street. The
last of the finishing touches have
been applied and the home stands
completed, one Of the best and COST
est that is to be found anywhere in
the city. 1t is modern and up-to-date
in every nook and corner, from cellar
to garnet, and one cannot Suggest
where the house could be improved
1t is just right.
The building is frame structure
two and half stories in height, with
basement under all. The foundation
walls and all cross partitions of walls
are Of unusual thickness and the
brick is laid in cement. The base
ment contains laundry room, with hot
and cold water at hand, stove for
such purposes as may be demanded,
a general purpose room, fruit cellar,
and couple of rooms used for fuel
and the like:
The house stands high upon the
foundation which permits the base
ment to be about half way above the
ground level. Entrance to the first
floor is from the east and opens into
spacious hallway. On the south is
a large and light drawing room and
on the west is a well appointed din
ing room. South of the dining room
is the sitting room with it's large fire
place. The kitchen and pantry are
back of these rooms. The kitchen
has been fitted out with large range
and everything that is known in uten-
sils and conveniences. There is a
convenient pantry ana one side of
the kitchen is devoted to drawers and
shelves nicely enclosed. The finish
of the first floor is in oak and birch
dressed in the natural color and the
effect is very pleasing.
Access to the second floor is by
means of the stairway leading from
the entrance hallway and by conve-
nient stairway that rises from the
kitchen and opens into broad hall
way. There is. a fine large bath
room and toilet room on the second
floor with all Of the best plumbing
and fixtures that can be purchased on
the market
There are three good sized cham
bers on this floor in addition to a
sewing room and linen closet All Of
the rooms have large closets and one
Of them has a pair Of these rooms.
