HAVANA. Cuba. March 23.--The open
ing event here to-day called for Cuban
bred two-year-olds. There were seven
starters with Havana Electric the odds
on choice. The latter. ridden by Ken
nedy, proved an easy winner. beating
Brown Shasta by length and a quar-
ter. Brown Shasta showed In front at
the top Of the homestretch, then weak
ened.
In the second race Red was out
run in the early stages, then moved
up with a rush on the outside
while rounding the far turn and
went to the front entering the home
stretch. weakening at the end. He had
to be hard ridden to last long enough
TO beat Jap Muma by nose. Primitive
finished third, beaten short distance
for place. 1t was q tight tit between
the first three at the end.
Another close finish came with the
running Of the third, in which Canny
Lady, Spods and Don Pepe passed the
winning mark In a close bunch. Canny
Lady had margin OF a neck to spare,
while Spods just lasted long enough TO
beat Don Pepe. The latter broke very
slow and was on the outside for the
entire trip.
Owner Thomas Monahan accounted
for to-day's feature when Billy Barton
won the fifth event This was a dash
of mile and was won in rather handy
fashion. The colt. ridden by Kelsay,
broke none too fast. The rider was
forced to take him on the outside In the
back stretch to get the leaders nearing
the half mile pole and was on nearly
equal terms with the pacemakers.
At the three-eighth pole he went tc
the front with rush and was never
headed thereafter. At the end he LED
The Roll Call by half a length. The
winner ran the mile in l 80 3-5. which,
considering that he covered more ground
than any other horse in the race. was
fair performance. Rebule, which was
coupled with Billy Barton. carried wild,
ut the first turn and was blocked at the
turnout Of the back stretch.
In the sixth race Haran set q fast
pace and held the lead until entering
the homestretch. where Coscorron came
from a long ways back and closing with
rush won going away.
