Governor Magoon is rushing the work or COM

ton that Havana is making strong bid for the
Vanderbilt Cup race this fall. The Cuban advo-
Gates point out that since the Long Island course
has been abandoned, and with a possibility OF the
race being held in Florida. there is now an oppor-
tunity to present Havana's claim for the race
which that. while Florida can offer only
thirty-rnile course, Havana by the completion OF
small piece road, will have circular course OF
one hundred miles.
The following paragraph from Havana news
paper shows what minor matters often occupy the
personal attention of Governor Magoon:
