 ing a walk-over shall have two points. 



The second horse show of the club was held 

 on May 19. With the record breaking crowd 

 present, and the list of entries so large, it was 

 imperative that the judging of the classes be-

 then it was not concluded until after sunset.

 Billy Ross, while in the class for speedway

 drove. The officials were H. L. Camp, Middle- 

 town, Conn.; S. A. Maurvais, Millet, Mass.;

A review of the racing events showed that 

 the contests were as liberally supported and as 

 closely contested as had always been the case 

 since the inception of the club, and, while the 

 spurt was exciting, yet no new speedway rec- 

 ords were made.
