THE CHALLENGE TROPHY. 13 



In 1900 the Gentlemen's Driving Club of Boston, 

 which was organized the preceding year, on the same lines 

 as the Cleveland Club, offered a $1,000 cup, to be known 

 as the Amateur Drivers' Challenge Trophy, and which 

 was to become the property of the Club winning it three 

 times. The first race for the trophy was trotted at Boston, 

 where John A. McKerron, one of the Cleveland Club's 

 representatives, was returned as the winner. As is shown 

 by the following summaries, the same horse was also the 

 winner in 1901 and 1902, when the cup became the prop- 

 ertv of The Gentlemen's Driving Club of Cleveland, by 

 which it was presented to H. K. Devereux, the owner of 

 the three-times winner :
