CUBAN TRACK RENOVATED All Buildings Painted, New Fences Erected and Track Proper Resurfaced. BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 8. Frank J. Bruen, general manager of the Cuba-America Jockey Club, was an arrival at Pimlico today. He stopped off on his way north from Havana to take in an afternoons spout at Pimlico. Mr. Bruen is very enthusiastic over the outlook for the coming meeting at Oriental Park, which is scheduled to begin November 29 and continue for 100 or more days. "The entire plant has been renovated," said Mr. Bruen. "Every building on the place has been repainted, the roof garden of the clubhouse enclosed in glass, new fences built on the entire property and the track proper resurfaced with a coating of sand, pronounced by horsemen to be of a quality which compares favorably with any in this country. Oriental Park never looked prettier than it does now and the landscape gardeners have been busy, now that the rainy season is over, beautifying the grounds. I feel confident that visitors to Oriental Park this winter will say that we have the finest plant that they have ever seen. We have on the grounds at present 250 horses. During the next week there will arrive 125 from Kentucky, 150 from Columbus and about 100 from the Maryland and New York tracks." Mr. Bruen left for New York tonight, where he will remain for a week before returning to Havana.
