PORTING to those who are not so for-
tunately situated there Is no reason
why the nominating committee should
go very far off the mark in selecting
the officers who will steer the national

1t so happens that this year the nomi-
rating committee Is able to announce
that 1t has hned up group OF meIi
who know every part of the vessel All
the higher officers are men OF expert
ence. Virtually all are renominated for
a second term, and as nomination ID
tantamount to election 1t therefore is
assured that j. Frederic Byers OF tins
Allegheny Country Club of Pittsburgh

citation through the season OF 1873.
BY another year 1t is quite prooapie
that Mr.. Byers will be giving place to
a former champion in the person Of

however Is only conjecture. Mr.. Gard
