T)oatirig"club"h"ad been broken up ; but it was a well-known fact that the gigs were not fitted for the harbour. He might state that he had received proxies from several of the old members who wished for the formation of! a yachting club. He might mention, amongst others, Messrs Aynsley, Cunningham, Hawkins, Cuff, Roper, Graham, Cameron, all old members of the club, who wished a yacht club formed. He had been unable, unfortunately, to attend the annual meeting in September last, but he wrote to the committee suggesting the formation of a yacht club. He had been appointed on the Bub-comraifctee to wind, up the matters connected with the old club, and he considered it waa the best thing that could be done. He agreed with the speakers respecting light whale boats, and every endeavour should be made to obtain them. Tbe remarks made hy Mr Rich about the formation of the old club were quite correct. The firat boat they had waß called thia Old Brußher, ;and they had gone on getting faster and faßter boats, until, in the end, they got a class of boat which was quite unsuited to the harbour. There was no doubt but that they would get plenty of outside supporters, and a good aquatic club could be formed. He had written to Mr Herdson "on this matter. Another thing he might mention and thafc was that the president (Mr Aynsley) had very strong objections to any money being paid over to private persons, his opinion being tbat the balance should go towards tbe formation of- another club. It was well known th^t the Ohristchurch clubs would not attend with their gigs any regatta in Lyttelton harbour. The president of the Ohristchurch club had spoken strongly on; this matter. Of course, the details of ;forming the yachting club would have to be left to a sub-committee. He considered that all the members of the old club should be membera of the new, and that the amounts realised should he entered as subscriptions. It would rest with the sub-com-mittee to decide on. the entrance fee, which he considered should be £5 6s. Mr Carder said he was glad that his resolution had met with such strong opposition. He waß glad to see there was some aquatic spirit left in Lyttelton. He would be glad to see the club start and prosper. With the permission of the- meeting, he would withdraw his resolution, i. 'A _)lr Parsons, as seconder, objected to the Withdrawal of the motion. The Chairman put the amendment, which was carried by nine to four. Mr Ward moved— "That the following forbi a sub-committee to arrange details 'of ; a yachting clvb :— Messrs Hawkins, Packard; Macdonald, Carder, Young, Eyes, Rich, Murray-Aynsley, Cameron, Bolt, and Ward." • Mr M'Befch seconded the motion, which was 1 carried. , On.; the motion of Mr Eyes, seconded by Dr jMacdonald, Mr Ward was appointed seore-'fcary.-ff.- .;'"■•■•■'' Mr jGarder moved, Mr M'Beth seconded, and it; was resolved; that Mr Packard be treasurer.

Votes of thanks to Mr Young and the ohairman brought' the meeting to a close. ■g?'4 :^| yr&S!" fr g^ 0 . w-as- is^ IJb & go- •■■■■-■'.-•■ii#--- srf'g: *|.m'S j 2 Z ots.
