scriptions. An informal resolution was
passed that the sense of this meeting was
that Boat club should be formed and a
clubhouse built. On motion of Geo. B.
Young, voted that the chair appoint
committee of five to form permanent
organization by Incorporation, and report
at future meeting. The following MEM
oers were appointed; w. w. True, c. S.
Emery, E. {. Blanchard and f. E. Alfred,
The subscription committee is to report 10
the permanent organization Some doubt
was expressed By the soliciting committee
as to their ability to raise the necessary
amount, owing to lack of interest on the
parr OF many here, who 1t seems should
welcome any attempt to build up our VII
iage. There is no doubt that this Boar
club is step in the right direction. If out
natural advantages are to be developed.
we must make some effort. II we wish
summer visitors we must give them some
thing 10 come here for. Other villages
with far less natural advantages are max
ing these things pay. There is no more
beautiful lake in all the country than
Menphrenagog, and for cottagers ard
other summer visitors Newport is the nat
ural base Of supply. Give them some good
accommodations and they viii come.
Get busy!
