The Driving Clubs of Greater Boston 



The matinee season opened on April 20 

 with a rush, all of the classes receiving a lib- 

 eral list of entries. The free-for-all was par- 

 ticularly well filled with fast racing material, 

 the following taking the word : Ruth D., Miss 

 Adbell, Ethel S., Manila Boy and Robert 

 Kernan. The event was won by J. O. Reay's 

 Ruth D., in straight heats, in the fast time 

 of 1 105 1-4 and 1 :o6, which, for so early in 

 the season, was considered remarkable. Ethel 

 S. was second to the winner the first heat, 

 while Miss Adbell 'was beaten by Ruth D. 

 the second heat by a close margin. 



There were several interclub meets held 

 during the Summer, the club going to the 

 Reading track in conflict with the Quanna- 

 powitts, and the Quannapowitts returning the 

 favor at Combination Park, and also there. was 

 a meeting with the Dorchester Club, at the 

 club's home track.
