r. Christie OF the Arlels applied for
reinstatement into the amateur ranks, and
his case was referred to the Investigating
COMMITTEES. composed of P. II. Mcdonnell,
f. J. Calvin and II. O'Farrell.
Oae hundred copies of the constitution
were ordered printed, the work to be done
by a union printer.
Messrs. Calvin, Rothkopf Frank, Espy
and Flanders were appointed Committee
on Picnic and Regatta.
The South End Club was not represented
= at the meeting by a delegate.
The matter of classifying the oarsmen of
the different clubs on n par with the ath-
letic clubs as regards weight was discussed
at length. One of the delegates thought
that it would advance the rowing interests
and also give the amateurs of different
clubs an opportunity of testing their speed
and staying qualities oftener than at pres
ent by organizing crews composed of
light, middle and heavy weight members.
The crews of the four-oared barges are
greatly mixed, so far asweight is concerned,
and TO bring all crews on an equality in this
respect the suggestion has been offered and
was thought very favorably OF.
The association will not hold a regular
meeting again until July It'll, but in the
meantime few special meetings Will be
held.
