The racing season ended Sunday, March Id, with, biggest attendance and heaviest playing of the meeting, and now the departure of many Interested has -made a noticeable -lent In Havana's - floating population. Rumor says a new track w5U be built In the near future, closer to tile centre of town, for racing all the year round. This rumor also carries the novel announcement of night racing daring the very not weather. "Movies" continue In most of the theatres, with Spanish operetta at the Campoamor and Pavret. At the latter, "La Marcha De Cadiz" ad "Sol De Espana," on a combination bill, offer a boring first tauda (turn), but a rather Interesting aeeosd. The plot U lost to those who do not fully uDilcretand Spanish, bat the music Is fascinating. Three Cas- tanet dancers, VIoleta and Dolorete, girls, and Bil- bao, man, are Immense favorites and really won- derful dancers. The auto races Sunday. 2d. attracted crowds, and the appearance on the ttresta that evening of the winning ear—a Stutr. driven by Maximo Herrera— together with the cable news that Cuba's favorite. Jess Willard, had defeated Moran, made the day a most exciting one. Impresarios Interested In bringing Caruso to the National are raid to have petitioned Crty Council for $30,000 guarantee for the tenor's spending money here.. The future will see the success or f a li- nre of this effort.

Helena Teola continues, together with five "ponies," billed as tie "Belles of Seville, direct from New York." Perhaps! The present entertainment Is not up to previous standard, how- ever, and poor bcalx.tss in the result. On the Plaza Roof I* Corlo ami Dlnus, in modern American and Spanish dances, are the favorites of the town. With a first class colored orchestra, good Universal features for diners out- side the garden, and general dancing inside, the Plaza outlook Is the most popular retreat m Ha- vana. Feaucks Aamsw.

Co. : Deab 8 tns.—I trust that you can find'space in The Old Reliable- to publish this letter of praise to the American Hospital and Dr. Max Thorek. I was unfortunate In contracting blood poisoning from a sliver from a fly line in the Gaiety Theatre, Omaha, Neb., week' of Feb. 7. The sliver entered the end of my Index finger, and in twenty-four boors my arm was black and blue up to the arm pit. X bad one of Omaha's best physicians attend to It. and the following week had a doctor in Kan- sis City attend me. I continued under his care for two weeks and got little or no results. Then I went to Dr. Max Thorek, In Chicago. He ex- amined my arm, and immediately told me to go to the hospital, as I had blood poisoning. I stayed under his care for three weeks, and am now cared. Too much praise cannot be given Dr. Thorek for his great care and treatment of his patients. The prices at tbe American Hospital are very reason- able, and within reach of anyone needing medical care. I find words Inadequate to express my praise and gratitude to this able physician. The American Hospital, of which Dr. Thorek is bead, should be given the undivided support of the en- tire profession, as there Is no discrimination shown In any respect. Anyone in the show world gets the very best of medical treatment, Trusting you will see fit to give tills space In your publica- tion (of which I have been a constant reader for years), in gratitude to this able man. Dr. Thorek, and thanking you In advance. I beg to remain, with best wishes, gratefully yours, Jiurs Bbooks, Property Man, Dave Marlon Show, Syracuse, N. Y. 4«» . THB Crystal Theatre. Bound Brook, N.
