Mr. Bakor asked Mr, Mansur to suggoat an improvoment, ‘he report had boon ‘presontod, and courtesy to the Committe roquirod that it should bo treated reapectfully, Mr, Mansur withdrew his motion, Mr. Noaly wanted a little timo to think over tho foport, There abould be no hurry in adupte ang It. Ar, Moltonnoy remarked that he would modify hia motion if there was a disposition manifested to discuss tho report. ‘Mr. Nealy did not want to dlacuss it, but do- alred to know whother it was right. ‘The Chairman said the mattor of SELECTING THR NEFEREES ‘waa in tho lands of the Board of Appeals, and ho thought the Associations would be satisfied with thoir cholco.

Tho Board woro not familar with tho qualifications of alt tho mon who might bo desig. nated, and in consequonoa an uuacceptablo rofores might be appomstod. Mr. Baker sald each Stato had to mako three Dominations, from which the Board would golect one. It was tho duty of tho dologates to agree among thomsolyes whom thoy would nominato, and it wae to ba aupposed that thoy would plok Out ropresontative and capable mon. In his viow, tho adoption of the roport had nothing to do with the mattor of sppofitmont. 2B. TAM stated that the Comumittce hed covored all tho Ground thoy wore instructed to cover by tha ndisnapolis Convention, ‘Tho Committee had met at the VPalmor Hours on tho 17th inst, and corroupouded by telograph with the Board of Appeals, and the reault vas tho report bofore then, It waa a compromise nae which all dif- foroncos might bo sattiod until the next Turf Congrous, and ho saw no good roason for rofuse ing to couour iu its recommendations, It would uot be necoesary for tho Board of Appeals to act Laattly in appointiug the referoes; thoy would undoubtedly canvass tho names presented, and Inquire into the capabilities of the nominoes, and make the bout aolection tholr judgmont gs gented. Mr, Smith thought the nom{nations should not eer until moro axsociations woro repro. Mr, Baker anid thore would uot bo another ‘convention until May, ‘MB.

Smith reiterated his objection, Many of associations bad had uo idea that th to, eald be ia ts shape ls Lad asauised, and heuce were not represonted. If the Board did not act haatily tho ansocistions would have s bettor ope portunity to ipform themselves aa to who would be tho best men for the position. ‘Mr. Bakor did not think tha Board would act indisereotly, and he had no doubt that thoy would rathor make tho selections now than walt unttl Slay, Mr, Noaly urged that, without a thorougi: can: ynae of Individuals, 4 Stato was liabto tu got an unsuitable man, Why should not tho dolega- tions presont got together and soloct ono whom they. knew to be compotent, and honest, and junt? It scomotl to him that tho Board would make mistakes by choosing mon without know- Ing thoir qualiflestions, Mr. ‘Tam stated that tha matter had boon thoroughly talked of all over tho country for tha Inst two or threo months, and thero was liardly « turfman but had bad [It forcibly brought home to bim— no forcibly that ‘a larga number had gathered ogother {in convention, 1f the others liad not como it was tholr own fault. If any one had au mmendment to make to the report it could bo on- tertained; but ne dul not think the Convoution lad snything to do with tho setection of roferees, Mr. Mansur—Are you talking for Michigan or Tlinois ? Mr. Tam—I am speaking from Indiana. Mr, Mansur—Wo are talking for {Uinoig, ‘Tho Chairman—Tho gontloman (Mr. Mansur) is out of order, Mr, Moore (Vico-Prostlent Scarlett in tho whair) supposed taat there was no delegation prosont which was not compotont to soloct three niuitable and satisfactory men, ‘Tho Board wat tu neloct one of thom, aud would not consult tho Convention regarding their choles, Unieas the Appointmonts wero inalo now, they could not bo until May, Ie saw no tangible objoction to wanking the nominations, ‘Mr, Mansur said bis idea was to fotch tho bost ten fornard, ond let tho Stato dotegations yoto fia thon. Ho wanted to voto only for tho Tll- nuia refores.

Mr. McKinney proved by quotations from tha roles thus the Roforee of Illinois could trauaact tho busiuoga of Wisconsin, Mr, Baker conceded that tho Board of Appeals could refer a cago from Wisconsin to tho Roferso of Llinoie for adjudication, but without euch roferouca iit did not came within his bailiwick.
