Therefore, as soon as a suit- able composition of ground has been laid over the track, it will be ready for racing. How 'mean. Named Mrs. Charles Powers, London, sister of Mr. Wes Atkinson, of Lucan, gives the following de- tails or how Lucan received its name: Hey' maternal grandfather, Thomas (Dublin) Hodgins, who came to Canada about 1928-30, was a coachman on the estate of Lord Lucan in Ireland. When it was decided to change the name' of the village from Marystown, he suggested the . name "Lucan". Apparently the name appealed to the Irish in the burg for "Lucan" it was renamed. Three years ago, Mrs. Powers and her daughter spent part of a day in Lucan, Ire- land, and visited the Lord Lucan estate.
