On the evening OF December 10Th an cleo
ton of officers of the Alpine Club will be
held, and many important matters relative
TO the future interests OF the club will be
thoroughly discussed. There are now more
than 80 names on the membership roll, and
there is 10 reason why the club should not
continue to gain in popularity. The annual
meeting Will no doubt be well attended as
the nomination Of officers will be regarded
with great interest by all the members. Ii
capable officers are chosen, the future sue
cess of the club is assured, but if on the
other hand Indifferent officers are elected
the organization will continue to labor under
difficulties
understanding between the Amateur Ath-
leuc Union, the League of American
WneeimeD and the National Association of
Amateur Oarsmen in regard to athletic rules
covering the payment OF athletes expenses
TO contests, and also in relation TO the defini-
ton Of an amateur. The interests Of the
three have grown more nearly Identical as
each has widened its sphere and increased
its power, SO that now there is no question
but the restrictions thrown about competing
athletes should be harmonious in all the
national organizations. The Amateur Ath-
letic Union took the initiative at its recent
annual convention. held at Washington,
when II appointed committee to confer on
all points OF a common interest with repre-
sentatives of the two other organizations
mentioned. The National Association Of
Amateur Oarsmen and the League of Amer
lean Wheeimen have, through their leading
men. shown their willingness to have con-
ference, and it is probable that the three or
CARNATIONS will come together early in Feb
rnary. if not before. The associations do
not propose by any means to lose their
identity in the least degree, but merely to
have mutual understanding ON important
questions. SO their methods may be more
uniform and more clearly defined.
