Diag the beautiful island would soon take rank with the big racing centres of the World. The thoroughbred breeding industry would be established on a solid basis und the natives would sot have to look elsewhere for racing ma- terial with which to furnish its sport loving population with amusement. That carries with it the spirit of speculation over which the natives enthuse, Just now Mr. Diaz is regarded as a pioneer among Cubans as a horse owner and bretder. He not only has thirty horses in training which he peacocks, pigs, cows and bulls, one of the latter, a beautiful all-white, prob- ably worth his tremendous weight in wold. The homes of the Diaz family are the finest in Cuba. A country house adjacent to the breeding farm is about the last word in Moorish archi- tecture. Only a Tiffany interior doco- rator could describe its priceless fur- nisbings. His mother’s home in town, comparatively modern from the out- side, takes one back centuries within, with its oddly tiled floors, marble staircases, broad open windows, court- yards of ancient Spain, broad veran- das and roof gardens with palm trees and flowers everywhere one's eyes may wander, Here Mr. Diaz has his own private moving picture show for the entertainment of his family and suests three nights a week. Although Mr. Diaz ts an enthual- astic sportsman, he has yet to play “ game of golf or even hold a club in his band. haven't the time to play the game,” he explained. “I love my horse and my farms, I Visit them at every opportunity.
