The Driving Clubs of Greater Boston 



J. W. Linneharij of the Dorchester Driving 

 Club. ^Yalter II. Farmer and John Shep- 

 ard of the Gentlemen's Driving Club of 

 Boston brought the greetings of their clubs 

 and a most pleasant evening was spent in 

 talking over matters of interest to the light 

 harness horsemen present. 



A special meeting was called in April to 

 find the sentiment of the members in the 

 leasing of Rockdale Park, Peabody, for the 

 season, but the members voted to reject the 

 propositi' m, although the club raced over 

 Rockdale on Labor Day, hiring the track 

 for that day only. 



On ( )ctober 21, the club had its first inter- 

 city meet, tackling the Dorchester Club over 

 the latter's track.

President William La Croix was elected 

 his third term for president at the annual
