JlacEwan, W. E. A. GUI, and G. O. Sutton (secretary). An afHliated club wrote with reference ito a resident of tho town who coaches i certain members and receives payment for 'so doing, and he wished to join the club so that he might be able to take part in competitions. It was resolved to inform them that under the St. Andrews decision there was nothing to prevent them electing him a member, but this would not give him amateur status. Clubs are now permitted to elect professionals as members if they wish to do so.
