and this proved TO be a lengthy mat
ter. since there were many knotty
points 10 be considered. The proposed
constitution, bylaws, and general rules
were thoroughly thrashed out. one Of
the chief points decided upon being that
no runner OF less than seventeen years Of
age should be allowed 10 compete in
races Of over two miles This, it is be-
Heved viii be step in the right direc-
ton. since it will make II impossible for
youths 10 overstrain themselves.
The matter of lonE-distance races was
also considered i'm all it's bearings. and
Il was finally resolved that any amateur
race Of five miles or over shall be con-
sidered as a senior loug-distance race
while it was also decided that races Of
about five miles are quite long enough
for the majority of amateur runners. and
that this being so, races over a longer
distance will not be encouraged as much
as formerly.
Sanction was given to the Central y
