CUBAN MEETING WONDERFUL So Says Mose Goldblatt on His Return to Cincinnati for the Holidays. CINCINNATI, ., December 29. Mose Goldblatt. who has a big stable racing in Cuba, is here for the holidays. He is enthusiastic over racing conditions at Havana and says they are having a wonderful meeting over there. "Oriental Park has been improved wonderfully since I was there five years ago," said Mr. Goldblatt, "and Frank J. Rruen is just alout the most capable and popular race track manager on the continent. John Hachmeister seems to have fitted in well as a racing steward. Hachmeister, of course, knows racing as well as any man on the track and he assumed and took hold of the presiding stewardship just as efficiently as he would run the business end of the sport. Jim Milton is starting better than 1 have ever seen him do before. "The play in the mutuel machines is SO per cent greater than last year and the crowds have been larger despite a 50 per cent increase in the price of admission. They are having a wonderful meeting, although but comparatively few American tourists had arrived up to the time I left there." Goldblatt was immensely pleased with the victory of his colt Hilly Rarton in the Cuban Championship Stakes last Sunday. He has refused an offer of .5,000 for tile colt and says, barring accidents, he is a certain winner of the 5,000 Cuban Derby.
