are now in progress to engage for next season
skilled in the construction. repair and improve
meIt of the tracks, fields and courts. who can
take charge OF the island and maintain the
grounds in good order.
The boathouse. at the foo. Of I'D street is
in fair repair, thirty-five lockers have
been built for the accommodation Of members
greater than the supply. The new boats pur-
chased by the club during the year were one
four-oared gig and tw" pleasure boats. The
great food which washed away the Ana lnstap
bOathouse. did little damage TO the Columbia
boathouse the boats were all removed 10
places of safety prior to the great rise Of
water.
