The Driving Clubs of Greater Boston 



the very hardest work, combined with shrewd- 

 ness and frugality, that he managed to bring 

 the club to the point where it has paid off ail 

 indebtedness and has a balance in the treas- 

 ury. Unlike any other of the driving clubs of 

 Greater Boston, the Fellsway never had a 

 free race course, but has been obliged to pay 

 thousands of dollars for its privileges and 

 has given large cash prizes, and with all this 

 has always met its obligations promptly, a 

 record of which President Law is proud. 



Air. Law gives a lot of credit for the suc- 

 cess of the Fellsway Club to the able as- 

 sistance of C. E. Twombly, secretary and 

 treasurer of the Fellsway, in conducting the 

 affairs of the organization, not by any means 

 feeling that he should expect all the praise for 

 himself in its success. For four years, to the 

 close of 1914, Mr. Law filled the position 

 of starting judge at Combination Park, and in 

 some of the important matinees he has kept 

 busy, before calling the first race, taking 

 tickets or selling them at the gate. This all 

 goes to show the zeal that he had in the wel- 

 fare of the organization. Mr. Law resides in 

 Arlington, Mass. 



FRANK E. MORRISON 



Frank F. Morrison was born in Somer- 

 ville, Mass., in 1877, and was graduated from 

 the schools of that city. When a young man 

 he went to work for his father in the pro- 

 vision business, and started in the same line 

 for himself in i8yf> in Somerville, where he 

 is still located. He was one of the organizers 

 of the Fellsway Driving Club, and worked 

 hard to bring the organization into a foremost 

 place with the other driving clubs of Greater 

 Boston. He was secretary for four years. He 

 is also a member of the Odd Fellows and the 

 Arlington Boat Club. 



While in matinee racing he owned and 

 drove Billy M., 2:29 1-4; Charmion, 2:27 1-4, 

 yet his greatest sport was with the trim little 

 mare, Decima Deane, 2:14 1-4. She was a 

 winning factor in the races at Combination 

 Park for several seasons, and gained credit 

 for herself in the interclub meets. Being one 

 of the family, she is assured of a home so 

 long as she lives. Mr. Morrison resides at 23 

 Brook Street, Somerville, Mass.
