distance he gave way to The Pony and Slave,
Dairyman being • short distance behind, but ulti-

and did not join in the race soy more. The Pony
and Slave kept well together, it being anicet 4i-

to show in front, when he ranted • hedge, which
mishap gave him no chance of winning. The con-
test was, therefore, between Yeoman And Pony, who,
whoa on arriving a; the last jump, cleared it both
together, Yeoman taking the lead fora short distance.
Pony's jockey used his utmost exertions to gain

Club took pleas at the Guildhall ea Thursday even-

*Mem, mile lb* setibliallmeatqf On ride NM,

and the young men of the town 000bng down upon
the boat club, it had been brought into difficulties.
Before the rifle movement took place the club hsd
increased the number of it. boats, aud also its
members ,• but the rifle corps had the tendency to
decrease the latter, and the consequence wan that
, the club got iota armors, and there was now
lowing to different parties about £59. The probable
I expenditure of the club for the present season, so
far as at present it could be asoartanied, would be
about £22 ha The club had 60 members, which
at 7a. 6d. each would cover this outlay, and be
I thought be should be able to obtain 20 more, whose
subscriptions would be all laid by capital in order
to bey ekiffs or other boats at some future time. He
hoped the inhabitants of the tows would come for-
ward and stipple the dellicisocy in the old macrame,
when they saw that the boat club was one of those
amusements for which it was neaemary for any
watering piece to have, and for none more ea than
this town. In conclusion, he stated that if any
member had anything to suggest for the welfare acid
prosperity of the club, Mr. Howard and himself
would be only too happy to fall in with his views.—
Mr. Howard said the club must bear in mind that
. .

although the figures siluded to seemed alarming,
that they had their stock.in-trade. He had one Or
two suggestions to make, but in doing so he felt he
was labouring under difficulty in bringing them for.
ward. It would be far from his wish or desire to

propose anything by which a body of men should
affect the interests of the poorer classes, sad the
difficulty he laboured under in making one of Ilia
suggestions was whether if the eoures be suggested
was adopted it would prove an injury to Chi
boatmen on the quay. is was usual in Wet
clubs that • member should be able to,

introdooe a Mend. and what be would propose was
that any person paying a subscription of Cl should
urn certain nights in the week —leaving out two
nights for the club—be entitled to take a friend out
in any boat. The effect of this would be that these
subeoriptions would fall upon those persona who
were beet able to pay thew, and he was of opinion
that puny tradesmen would join the club, who
would not otherwise do so, if they were not able le
bring a friend with them. Another inggestion he
bad to wake wee that the boats should be used sore
_

in a friendly way and lees inrosing. The next silk
gestion was that in the racing which the °lab had
had, there had been some very good pulling. Bet
the parties who pulled well were these who
were so inueb engaged that when an *riming
came for racing there was • diffieelty to an the
boats, and the oonsequencie was that the younger
members, who, if they could not pall scientifically ,
would do so willingly were deprived of the sport.
He thought, lifter a little time them would be able
to sbew some good pulling, and for this purpose he
should be willing to lend himself to get up every
fortaight, or three weeks, nominal prises amongst
them, not exceeding 10a , whenever they could get
up a sufficient crew to man three or four hosts. Ile
would be very willing to get subscriptions for tbia
purpose, and as a means of starting would give a
guinea for the first two races. After rinse further
remarks on the advantage* the club would derive
from the subscribers, be concluded by stating
that if the members thought such &proposition would
injure the boatmen, they ought not to entertain it.
Mr. Wallis said he should be happy to second Mr.
Howard's proposition if it did not injure the trade
of the boatmen. —The Chairman replied that he
thought such would not be the case. His opinion
was that the club bad been the mesas not only of in-
creasing the quality of the boats belooging to the
boatmen, but that there were as many again as there
mod to be. —Mr. Rolls remarked that the boatmen
had 13Id him that the more boats that went out
belonging to the club, the better it was for them, as
it was the means of attracting parties to have their
boats. —lt wri then decided that Mr. Howard's pro-
position should be entertained, CI subscriptions
allowing the members to take one friend, whilst •
20e. one would entitle him to the privilege of takiog
two. It was also decided theta fine of 2a. should
be inflicted upon any person taking out more friends
than his subscription allowed. A committee was
formed for the purpose of managing the affairs of
the club. It was also decided that members' sub-
scriptions should he increased from 6s. to 7e. 6d.,
a d that in the event of any more boat. being rs.
gored, skiffs should be built.—A rote of thanks to
tate chairman terminated the business of the club.

to make them almost convolved with Laughter.
