"Boston, February 12, ; The first banquet of the club took place at Hendrie's, on the evening of November 5, and was dedicated especially to the men. The members turned out in goodly numbers, and invited guests were present, private, political and otherwise. The members and guests were gathered around small tables, thus choosing their own companions. First Vice-president Randolph K. Clarke was head of the commit- tee of arrangements. A fine entertainment was given and there were excellent speeches. One of the features of the evening was the presentation to A. S. Gushee, who had just completed his three years' service as chairman of the racing committee, of an easy chair. The usual matinees were held at Readville on June 17 and on Labor Day, which fell on September 7. On the first named date, there were five events, each for a purse of $100. The free-for-all attracted a lot of attention, the starters being Farker S., Rex and Land- lord. When it came to racing it was discov- ered that the first named gelding had the speed of the party, his fastest heat being in 2:17 1-4. The largest field was in the 2 .23 pace, and was conducive of the best sport of the after- noon. Budweiser,
