DANIEL PAINE 

 President 1910 



presented President Paine with the pen 

 that the Governor signed the speedway bill 

 with. However, through some slip or miss, 

 the Fellsway Club, up to this time (1914), 

 have not had their speedway, which looked 

 so certain at the time Representative Keene 

 addressed them. 



As the result of the interclub matinees, 

 the championship cup went to the Metro- 

 politan Club, second place being taken by 

 tha Fellsway Club, which was considered 

 excellent work for the club in beating out 

 for positions organizations like the Dor- 

 chester and Lynn Clubs, not to mention the 

 I (uannapowitt.

SEASON OF 1911 



The annual banquet took place on January 

 .}, at the Hotel Langham, it being thought 

 a good idea, for one season at least, to try a 

 new banquet hall instead of holding it in the 

 same old place. There was the usual num- 

 ber of after-dinner speeches, and the enter- 

 tainment committee gave an excellent musi- 

 cal program and vaudeville. Most oi the 

 member.-, at the conclusion of the dinner, 

 adjourned to the nearest bowling alleys and 

 indulged, until closing time, in finding who 

 was the crack pin spiitter of the club. This 

 was not decided, however, as Frank Morri- 

 son, George Coyle, and a couple of others 

 asserted that their form was not up to the

 bowling championship for individuals was 

 left to be determined at another session. 



The annual election was on January 4. and 

 resulted in James I. Brooks once more hav-

 officers were as follows: First vice-presi-

 dent, W. W. Sprague: third vice-president, 

 Harrv O. Davis; fourth vice-president. Asa 

 Pritchard; treasurer, Geo. M. Davis; secre- 

 inrv, Frank E. .Morrison; directors, Daniel 

 Paine, P. Fred Sanborn, W. W. Sprague, A. 

 H. 1). French, Chas. \V. Thynsr, W. A. Rice, 

 Chas. M. Lockwood, Knapp Forshner. Geo. 

 A. Law. Harry W. Litchfield. 



On March, 20, was completed all arrange- 

 ments with C. A. Craves as to terms for the 

 lease of Combination Park for the ensuing 

 yea'-, and the lease was signed bv the club. 

 There was a mix-up in getting the differ- 

 ent driving clubs together for another 

 -cries of interclub meets, it having been 

 found that the Lynn and Quannapowitt 

 Clubs had dropped out and the Metropolitan 

 club would not consider racing at all. if 

 hopples were to be used. The club then 

 voted to get into communication with the 

 Dorchester Club, with the object of arrang-
