Racing at Havana
To End April 6;
Big Day for PITT

HAVANA, Cuba, March 20.-An-
nouncement was made by the Cuba
American Jockey Club this afternoon
that the present winter meeting at
Oriental Park will come TO a close
with the running of the programme of
Sunday, April 6. The meeting, which
has been most successful. was prob
ably the best held since the beautiful
racing grounds at Oriental Park were
constructed. There has been about an
equal division of stables racing here
between those from Kentucky and
Maryland.
To-day's programme was made up
of series of selling races and the
conditions were framed to suit horses
Of the ordinary calibre. But while the
fields lacked class they were we'll
matched, and furnished exciting con-
tests, which came with the running of
II majority of the events.
Stormbound beat Annie Edgar by a
head IN the second, and could have won
further off had PITT desired He had
the filly under restraint at the finish.
James G. was ridden hard to get up in
time to beat the pacemaker, Lola, by
nose in the third. 1t was a tight
fit between the two at the end.
Featherwt made a runaway affair
of the fourth leading all the way and
winning by ii couple of lengths from
Corson. Little Nephew was hard rid
den to last long enough to stall off
Ed Garrison's rush in the fifth and
win by a head. The closing event made
the fourth winning mount for Jockey
PITT when he landed the favorite, Man
darin's Coat, by a length and half in
front of Leap Frog.
j. j. Zimmerman disposed of the
promising -year-old Dr. Hall at pri-
vate sale this morning to Mrs. G. w.
Billerman. DR.. Hall will be shipped to
Kentucky and later to Canada, provided
racing is resumed in the Dominion next
summer.
