bers of the association may be done away with.
 The second recommendation related tc the subject of proxies. The principal change in this respect is that no per son shall represent a club at meet ing of which he is not member.
 The next subject was the amateur rule. It was recommended that the present rule be made more stringent and that charges made against a man shall be certified to by the secretary of the club of which he is member.
 The committee also reported in favor of sweeping changes in the playing rules, and the suggestion was made that the new executive committee go into the subject fully and confer with the English and Scotch clubs with a view to making the playing rules more uniform.
 The next recommendation had for it's object the doing away with just such controversies that have arisen this year over the selection of place for the holding of the amateur championship tournahent
 The suggestion of the committee that the new committee make up rotary schedule of the various sections Of the country, that certain courses be select ed and that regular schedule be made out. For instance, it is the scheme to hold the tournament in the east one year, in the west the next year, the south the next year, and in the metro polltant district the following year. It is further recommended that after such a sectional schedule be made out, 1t shall not be subpeot to change. The only power the executive committee will have after the formation of sec- tional schedule is made will be simply to award the actual club under whose auspices the tournament shall be held.
 The committe also recommended rad ical changes in the method of playing championship matches. Under the pres ent rules the qualifying round played on the first day of the tournament con- sists of 36 holes. The suggestion Is that the rules be changed so as to make the qualifying round played on the opening day Of the tournament consist of IS holes, the best GA scores to qualify. The 64 players qualifying are to continue playing over the is hole course until but two players are left. The two sur- viving players are to qualify for the final round, which shall consist of 36 holes, In the event of ties the players so tied are to keep playing until one shall have gained hole.
 The proposition to invite an English team from the Oxford and Cambridge societies of England to come here dur ing the coming season and compete with American teams was laid on the table.
 The recommendations of the old ex- ecutive committee were not acted on, they going to the new committee.
 The matter of revision of the consti- tuition took the same course.
 The discussion of the place of holding the amateur championship then came up. President Robertson counselled moderation, and said the executive committee thought they should go to the west this year. MT. Murdock, for the Nassau club, made bid for the tournament, and the bid of the Glen wood club of Chicago was made by MT. Bokum The merits of the two propo- sitions were discussed at length and when a ballot was taken Glenview won out by vote of 27 to IA for Nassau. The date will be fixed by the executive committee
 This committe will also fix the place and date of the women's tournament. Onwentsia has offered to take 1t. The Garden City Golf club got the open tournament. The date will be fixed
