Metropolitan Earns Title of Champion Driving Club of New England DURING the Winter of 1910 over- tures were made to the Metro- politan Driving Club, by the other Greater Boston driving clubs that were in the interclub series of matinees the year before, to have the Met- ropolitan join them in a series to take place the coming Summer. This was finally agreed upon, with the condition that all of the meets take place over Combination Park, and to be six in number. It was further agreed that the points made in the races would be as follows: First horse, five points; second horse, three points; third horse, two points; and fourth horse, one point. In case of two or more horses standing equal in the summary at the conclusion of the race, the one standing the best in final heat to receive the additional point and preceding position in the summary. In the early Spring months there was a great hustle between the members of the five clubs to secure material that would prove of benefit to their respective organizations in carrying away the elegant silver cup that was to be given to the club winning the most points in the series. Thus, when the matinee season opened, or later during the matinees, the following galaxy of equine stars were among those entered in the events. Trotters— Chase, 2:07 1-4; Mack Mack, 2:08; Monroe, 2:10 1-2; Peter Sterhng, 2:11 1-2; Ralph Wick, 2:13 1-4; Dodie K., 2:13 1-2; The Sailorman, 2:14 1-4; and Hawkins, 2:16 1-4. While Croesus, 2:19 1-2, and Dehesia. 2:23 1-4, did not have as fast a record as some of the others, yet they had a great deal of speed, and their admirable way of trotting gained for them general admiration from the spectators. Pacers—Gallagher, 2:031-2; Cas- cade, 2:06 1-2; Edwin S., 2:08; Frank S., 2:08 1-4; Louise G., 2:08 1-2; Phoebon W., 2:08 3-4; Billy Patten, 2:09 1-4; Easter Direct, 2:09 1-2; Reliance. 2:11 1-4; Young Chimes, 2:11 1-2; Aintree, 3-4; Dean S
