 Tritons. 



Six-oared gigs— Won by the Dauntles crew in 

 10m 2}£s.

 Oswego last Wednesday resulted in another vic- 

 tory for Courtney. The time for the three miles 

 was 29m. Uis. Riley was second, and Johnson

 annual regatta of the Oneida Boat Clnb was

The Mississippi Valley Oarsmen — Chicago, 

 Oct. VS.- Editor of Forest and Stream: The 

 amateur oarsmen of the West held an important 

 meeting to-day in the club ronms of the Palmer 

 House There were delegates present from nine 

 of the leading boating clubs of the Mississippi 

 Valley. The meeting was called for the purpose 

 of forming an association fostering the interest 

 of oarsmen. The A-sociation will hereafter be 

 styled "The Mississppi Valley Amateur RowiDg 

 Association." It was decided that an amateur is 

 one who has not entered in an open competition; 

 or for either a stake public or admission money, 

 entrance fee, or competed with or against a pro- 

 fessional for aDy prize ; who has never taught, 

 pursued or assisted in the pursuit of athletic 

 exercises as a means of a livelihood ; whose 

 membership of auy rowing or other athletic club 

 was not brought about, or does not continue be- 

 cause of any mutual agreement or understanding, 

 express or in public, whereby bis becoming oi 

 continuing a membership of such club should be 

 of any pecuniary benefit to him whatever, direct 

 or indirect, and who has never been employed in 

 any occupation involvii g any use of oar or paddle 

 It further provides that the executive committee 

 shall be judges of the fact. 



Two annual conventions are to be held, to con- 

 sist of two delegates from each of the clubs in 

 the association. The by-laws provide for an 

 annual regatta two days in June, tie time to be 

 fixed by the executive committee. 



The regatta laws of boat racing of the National 

 Association of Amateur Oarsmen have, with a fen- 

 minor changes, been adopted as the rule of this 

 Association. Rover.
