. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. January 1, ©Jjj? gveebev <xnb *&pjoxt&maxx. 9 Santa Ana Driving Club. Saturday afternoon the Gentleman's Driving Club was successfully organized. The meeting was held in the city hall and was attended by a large number of thoBe who had Bigned the paper of organization. Much interest was mani- fested in the movement and its success is assured. Eight here it should be understood that the club is not a racing association or anything of the kind; it is simply an organization of those who do not wish to see Orange county lose the fine track which haB gained a reputation all over the State, and who come together to give support to this end. They are those who want to save the track, and the organiza tion is a means by which it is hoped this can be accomplished. It is also part of the purpose of the club to create a wide and more general interest in tine horses, and there are many who will wish to see this done. The preamble of the consti- tution reads: "This organization shall be known as 'The Gentleman's Driving Club of Orange county,' and its pur- pose is the encouragement of the horse interests, by provid- ing a place where members may drive, either alone or in com- pany with others, and by this pleasant rivalry to create a greater demand for and interest in fine ; The club will be governed by a president, secretary, treasurer and an executive committee of seven members. E. E. Smeltzer, G. W. Ford, E. D. Waffle, C. E. Groat, W. S. Derby, V. V. Tubbs and A. C. Twist were choBen as com- mitteemen for the first year. They will elect a president from their own number and George S. Smith was elected secretary. The committee will meet some time this week for organization. The club starts out under favorable conditions, the names of one hundred and six persons being on the rolls. An initiation fee of two dollars is charged, which will entitle all members to the privilege of driving their horses upon the track.—Bl
