Promoter Morgan Talks the Matter
Over With Governor Magoon.


New York, April 29.-There is a
prospect, according to w. ]. Morgan,
organizer of the Ormond Beach auto
mobile meets. that a big automobile
road race will be run in Cuba next
winter. Mr.. Morgan met Governor
Magoon in Cuba recently and talked
the matter over with him. Governor
Magoon told Morgan that there will
be a great many miles Of good roads
built in Cuba this year and when Mr..
Morgan broached the subject OF a big
road race the governor, Mr.. Morgan
says, told him he would do all he could
to. make it possible, so that Cuba may
have big International speed contest.
A successful road race was held in
Cuba several winters ago, but it was
then necessary to establish controls at
each end Of the course. For the race
planned for next winter. however, it
it expected that a continuous circuit
will be available by using some of the
roads to be constructed this coming
summer.
