Resolutions were then adopted that no delegate
was to speak more than twice on the same motion
motion was then MADE to appoint a committee
to draft rules and regulations for the government
of the association. This question raised consider
able discussion, as many delegates rose and stated
they were not authorized to pledge their clubs to
any association. Another point was also raised
that 1t would be necessary to hear the views Of the
| Convention upon what constituted an amateur
| Oarsman, before any permanent action could be
| taken upon organizing an association. A motion
| to organize permanently as an association was
then put and voted down, with only one vote In the
| aInrmative.
| The question OF adjournment then started some
lively Oratorical efforts on the part OF OF the
| delegates, and motion was finally carried that
| the Convention should take o recess until ten
| O'Clock A. NJ. to-day, when they will hear the report
| OF the committee or seven on the "Dennit0n Of an
| Amateur 0arsman,n &c.
| No other business OF importance was transacted
as the delegates were anxious to get OF to witness
| the race between Deey and Engelhardt
