Allen, Purchas, Harper, Armstrong, Weine, Thompson, Clark, and Berry. Messrs. AVelton, Loney, and Perrott are unable to compete on this occasion.

It may be added that the members greatly appreciate the kind co-operatioii of the champion, Mr. B. B. Allen, in connection with the change outlined above.
