init a permanent body was far greater
than was anticipated last night, and the

men secretary. The chief objects were
outlined by Chairman LANCER, and he
explained the benefits that would accrue
from the Association of Clubs. The mat
ter of a road race was talked of for
| Labor Day, IN the Boulevard, but no
final action will be taken until the next
meeting on August 10. The delegates
thought well OF the idea and are of the
opinion that a 25-mile race in this county
could be made far more popular than the
