Dorchester Wins Big Four-Cornered 

 Interclub Silver Cup 



AFTER considerable agitation at 

 the meeting of the committees 

 from the four driving clubs, it 

 was finally decided to hold a 

 grand interclub series of racing 

 between the Dorchester, Fellsway, Lynn and 

 Quannapowitt Driving Clubs, two of the meets 

 to be at Combination Park and one each at 

 Rockdale Park, Peabody, and the Reading- 

 Wakefield track. It was decided by the com- 

 mittee that in scoring points the first horse in 

 each race was to be credited with five points, 

 the second horse three points, and the third 

 horse one point. In case of a tie for second or 

 third place, the horses standing equal in the 

 summary must go another heat to decide 

 which was to be credited with the points in 

 dispute. 



On June 26, 1909, at Combination Park, 

 Medford, was held the first meeting in the 

 series of interclub matinees. It was a fore- 

 gone conclusion that the racing would be of 

 a sensational order, as included among the 

 list of entries from the four clubs were no- 

 ticed the names of the following horses : 

 Pacers — Cascade, 2 :o6 1-2 ; Louise G., 2 :o8 1-2 

 pacing and 2:21 trotting; Aintree. 2:103-4; 



Jimmy B., 2:11 1-4: Reliance, 2:11 1-4; Lou- 

 ise E. 2:11 3-4, and a matinee record to 

 wagon of 2:10 3-4; Lady Laurin, 2:13 1-2; 

 and B. S. Dillon, 2:14 1-4; trotters— Altro L., 

 2:09 3-4; Talpa, 2:09 3-4; Lord Quex, 

 2:101-2; Tom Phair, 2:141-4; Axtelloid, 

 2:15 1-4; and Hawkins, 2:16 1-4. 



The honors of the afternoon were secured 

 by the Dorchester Club winning thirteen 

 points more than its nearest opponent, Fells- 

 way, and taking five of the twelve events on 

 the card. John W. Coakley won the fastest 

 race of the day, for a trotter, with Crown 

 Prince, the second heat of his race being in 

 1 :o5 1-4. Knap Forshner with King's Heir, 

 and Charley Bailey with Aintree, were the 

 stars in the pacing division, the former win- 

 ning the race and a heat in 1 :o5 1-4, while 

 Aintree scored the second heat in 1 :04_3-4. 

 Lady Laurin and Cascade also had a bitter 

 fight, with the honors going to the former, the 

 fastest heat in 1 :o5 1-2. 



The second interclub matinee of the series 

 was held on the home grounds of the Lynn 

 Driving Club, at Rockdale Park, Peabody, on 

 July 24. All of Lynn, it seemed, turned out 

 "to see the races, the grandstand and quarter-
