Several new members should appear in the trials set down for October 27. The Caro Cup, an inter-club trophy, controlled by the club, has again been allotted to the double scullers for competition- ' The conditions of racing for the Dr. Stuart Reid eight-oar cup have been altered from challenge cup rules. For the Dast four years this trophy has been under challenge cup rules, but this season the executive has decided to withdraw it from this class of racing and to hold an eight-oar interclub afternoon for this trophy. New rules are being drawn up. The Caro Cup and Dr. Stuart Reid Cup races will be the main features of the club’s annual "At Home,” which will be held on Saturday, February 23. The 1928-29 season is the club’s 60th season, and the committee is planning to make it, in every way, one of the club’s most successful seasons. Past members would do well to let club officials have their present addresses to ensure receiving their invitations to this season’s functions.
