The members of tliis Club, then, loolcing back upon the days of theii* 

 intercourse with liim, as some delightful dream, at many a suoceedino; an- 

 niversary, will atTectionately revive the times, spent with their lamented 

 President. In memory's glass, they will preserve, and keep fresh, like 

 flowers in water, those happier days, when their souls, linked in one, 

 chained their hearts together. 



It is unusual, in an Association like this, to expatiate upon the char- 

 acter of a deceased member, however elevated the position of that mem- 

 ber ni'iy have been. But as Col. Pinck.vey was long identified with 

 this Club, by the manifestation of a peculiar zeal in the promotion of 

 its interests — by a usefulness and value universally acknowledged — by a 

 character lield in high esteem by all who were associated with him as 

 members of this Club, an affectionate impulse prompts us, now, that we 

 see, for the first time, his place vacant, and will see him here no more, 

 to give expression to oar remembrance, and our estimate of his many ex- 

 cellent qualities, official as well as social. 



In honor of his memory, therefore, be it — 



Resolved, That the members of this Club received, with feelings of 

 the fleepest sensibility, with a sorrow the most profound,. the intclligenco 

 of the death of their President, Col. Pinckney. 



Eesoloed, That the above Preamble and Resolution be entered on the 

 Minutes, and as a still further mark of respect for the memory of the 

 deceased, this Club do now adjourn. 



Gov. "Wilson then moved that the above Report be accepted, and that 

 the same be publislied.

The contest in both Iieats between the three first was very close and 

 beautiful — the finish of the last heat highly exciting, won only b// a head. 

 Margaret Wood was girthed so tight as to affect her respiration, and to 

 deprive her consequently of all chance for the race.
