The annual assembly of the L. A. W.
takes place IN Louisville next month.

/ Stamp and probably Secretary Il. Rihel-
dafler. The principal questions to be
\ decided are tho negro exclusion, ANA.
! teur rule, and the location OF the annual
summer meet for 1891. The New York
\. Hhesl has made q canvass of the dele
gates and predicts liberal amateur
rule will be adopted by good majority.

y The three cities after the summer meet
ARE Boston, Asbury Park and Denver.
Tho latter city seems to have the call,
though Boston seems to present moro
advantages. The West Virginia dele
gates arc said to be against a liberal
amateur rule. .sss
