In the after-dinner speaking the matter generally discussed was that the members of all the driving clubs should become better ac- quainted and there should be more occasions offered where all of the clubs would meet and in this way the social part of the organization be extended. Many of the speakers believed that the future depended a great deal on the sociability of the different clubs. There was much rejoicing on the part of the members in the racing at Franklin Park Speedway, especially the ladies, on the city putting a roof on the grandstand. This was appreciated, particularly on the hot days of the Summer months. There was interclub racing during the sea- son. A big program had been arranged for Dorchester Day, twenty-two horses coming over from the Fellsway Club to participate in the interclub events, but it proved such a bad, rainy day that there was no opportunity for racing and the program had to be declared off. On May 30, in the interclub meet with Fells- way, the latter won the most points, and in the return meet between these clubs, held on Labor Day, Dorchester was victorious, this making the honors even between the two clubs.
