During President Wales' first year in office 

 the club only held one race meeting at Read- 

 ville, on Labor Day. September 2. There were 

 five classes for purses of $100 each. 



The 2 :35 class had six starters, and was 

 won by Aggie 11., owned and driven by R. W. 

 Hickey, who in the second heat made the 

 fastest time of the day. 2:i8l-2. A 

 special slow class, always a feature with 

 this club, had eight starters, and was captured 

 by Brightness, owned and driven by A. M. 

 Newbert, in 2.43 1-4. The 2.20 trot had six 

 starters, and was won by Lady Madison, 

 owned and driven by P. J. Fitzgerald. Alice 

 B., owned and driven by Walter Newbert, 

 took the third heat in the fastest time of the 

 race, 2:22 1-2, and everybody thought that 

 Lady Madison was beaten, but she came back 

 strong in the fourth heat and won, finishing 



the race. The 2 :22 class had seven starters, 

 and was won by Gladys M., owned and driven 

 by R. K. Clarke, in 2:22 1-2. The free-for-all 

 pace had six starters, and was easy for Ken-

The second annual ladies' night was held 

 on January 30. Thomas N. Hart, the Mayor 

 of Boston, honored the occasion with his 

 presence. President Wales and Treasurer 

 .Morrill had charge of the floor. Like its pred- 

 ecessor, it was an unqualified success.
