 when Gallatin also took the Handicap; and more recently in 1823, to

 dam were out of Bedford mares.

It was with great regret that the Club received intelligence this 

 season of the inability of Col. McPherson, from ill health, any longer to 

 discharge the duties of President of the Club. The following resolution 

 was passed by the Club on the occasion : 



" That the best and kindest expressions of the Club be tendered to 

 Col. McPherson, for the urbane and impartial manner in which he has 

 for very many years presided over its meetings ; that the Club sympa- 

 thises with him in the cause which has occasioned his retirement from 

 office, and unanimously elect him an honorary member for life." 



Col. Thomas Pinckney was elected President in his place, and James 

 Rose, Esq., Vice-President.
