 E. E. Bray; second vice-president, Eben B. 

 Phillips ; treasurer, Clifton Colburn ; secre- 

 tary, Charles Chamberlain ; clerk, S. G.

 ruary, the political fathers of the City of 

 Lynn being present, as were prominent offi- 

 cials from other driving clubs. A real old- 

 fashioned jollification took place, the club 

 being in a most flourishing condition and 

 everything apparently insuring the year to 

 come to be one of prosperity. 



There was much racing on the Rockdale

 likely to be one of the very largest that had

 horses did excellent work, though they fin- 

 ished third in the list, getting 127 points for 

 the series, while in the second meeting of
