"It is a wonder to me," suid a prominent business man to ye local Monday, " that the many people hcre In Aun Arbor who own good horses and riga, do not get togelher and form a OenUcman's Driving Club. It would give a great petus to the pride and neatncss of owners of horseflesh and be tlie meaiis of doing much good. Some ye:ir8 ago I was a member. of such au organization In Toledo. We would go to the track wlth our families and drive, and It became very popular. Every member took pride in liis turnout. His norse was scrupulously clean, his harness neat, and his carriage would always reflect your face. No sulkeys were allowed on the drive during the houra the clnb had set aside for the familv drive. Thatclub dtd more to improve the line turnouts in Toledo than any or all other thli'gs combinedSucha club hero would grow in popuia rity from the start, or I am greatly mistaken, and for one I should like to see it tried." And there are otliers in the city wlio feel the same way.
