Prayer was oflered by Rev. William Troth. THE FOLLOWING CHURCHES WERE REPRE SENTED by their ve (designated below) and two delegates from each church: First Bap- tist Chareb, GeorgetOwn, Kev.

R. on a; Third Baptist Charch, Washington. Kev. Joseph Crier; and First Baptist Church, Bladensburg, Md., Rev. county, A. Wart A_resolution was offered by Deacon Coke, of the et church, that no ene be allowed tos ¢ than five minutes on one sabject witho animous consent. Adopted. Kev. D. W. Anderson then explained the ob- Jeets for which they had met which was for the ORGANIZATION OF A BAPTIST ASSOCIATION IN THIS CITY, to take in all the churches in this vicinity which desired to sever their connection with the Phila- delphia Association, with which most of them had been connected for more than forty years. It was thought expedient for the goed of the eanse that they should now Co gepe bere; their brethren in Philadelphia had at cack annnal meeting urged them to do it, and bad even told them oe acts and words that they did pot want them there; im fact, they were ignored whenever they went there, and by an organi- zation at home they look more after the spiritual developmentof their churchesand Sun- @ay-schools. He then read THE CONSTITUTION which had been drawn up and submitted to sev- eral pastorsof churches, and which they bad agreed to adopt. It recites that the association shail be of Baptists, who may with- draw by letter from their respective associations; names the offices which are to be filled annually: that this association shali be in fellowship with all similar — zations in the country; that each church shall have and support a Sanday sehoo!; shall make an annual report, stating the | membership of each church and Sabbath school, | the amountof charities expended, ‘ontribations, | Pastor's salary and ail statistical information for | | the Bene al good and prosperity of the churches, c., &e Mr. Coke opposed the organization, contend- ing that it would be a CONTEMPT TO THE MOTHER ASSOCIATION with which they had been connected so long, be- sides the churches had not had time to think of this plan. One of the delegates from Alexandria also posed it, and stated that the little church which he belonged to had been aided some $3,000 in the building of this church by the Phila- deiphia association, and he aid not think it ‘would be showing them dae By others it was contended that the ehurches of this part of the country could not be as useful without a home associ: , thai no disrespect was nded to the parent associ..tion at Phila- delphia, and so far as that association was con- | cerned, it would no doubt be good news to them there. "The nt association of Philadelphia does not hold a rod over the churches in this { Sw and would a down here and help them organize for ritual benefit of all concerned. - Rev. Mr. Johnson said he. for one, had made | - B mind to draw out his letters from the Philadelphia association, as he never would go there again as a delegate. When he went intu a friend's house and was TOLD TO TAKE HIS HAT, he did not wait to be told to go ont—he began to think to Limself that his room was better than ' his company. The vote was then taken on the motion to have an association in this District, and it was almost unanimously carried, only two or three Voting in the negative. A motion was carried that they ad to sroet again at the same place on the thi Sun. day in November, for the purpose of organizing: each church to be notified by letter requesting the attendance of the pastor and tro delegates from each chureh. The adjourned after singing the Dexology. ahr MOVEMENTS OF THE KNIGHTS TexPLaR— Yesterday the Knights Templar from Michigan other States visited various places of inter- and about the city, under the escort of the Sir Knights and business men of the District; and this ——t the three District comman- deries met at thelr Asylum in full numbers, and, headed by the Marie Band and drum cor, marched to the Metropolitan and National Hot tels, where the visitors were quartered, and escorted them to the railroad depot, where they i — seats ina — ipop ty mer oad at %@ o'clock, to participate in the gran ade and inspection In that city to-day. “It is thought that about five hundred Sir Knights from this District will aigee ga To-morrow the Knights Templar from various commanderies throughout the country, who are now attendi: the Grand Encampment at Baltimore, will visit this city.

Pina ep eaasiah @nr Beat Clubs =——. one Proposed Editor Star :—For the past two years this kind of manly exercise has been on the increase, and the citizens of the District have witnessed with pleasure the interest manifested by the young men, and the success that has crowned their There are now four boat clubs in the District, the Potomac, Analostan, Arlington and Wash: ington. Prominent among these is the Potc- mac, which by well earned victories has won and claims the title of champion, but it seems trom the action taken by that club at the recent meetings of the oh eg appointed to arrange for a regatta fn which all the clubs were to par. ticipate, that the have fearsof loosing the ‘die. They are unwilling to row over any course ex- cept their own, as shown by their ‘action at the several meetings of the delegates who came in- structed by their club to that effect. Should they finally conclude to participate in the regatta it is their intention to enter but one boat, (a four oared shell,) showing clearly that they have grave fears of loosing the six oared gig race, as both the Analostan end Arlington clubs have fine crews who would make formi- dableopponents. Believing their four to be in- vineible, they are willing to enter for their four oared race, but forget that there are oth four ‘cared erews In tis Dissict ht make it int for them; should they happen aey teresting for to awaken to this not all improbable result, t may set change their and withdraw alto . Rumors at effect are already in circulation. Let the Potomac club act like men and enter the race on equal terms, and let the best crews win,but if they do not, they cannot expect to retain§their title of champions. It si uu bea great ppotntment to the eiti- zens if the proposed regatta should be a failure, andthe Potomac boat club would reccive the censure of the entire community. It is but jus- tice to say of the members of the Washington beat club that they have no six-oared gig cor- responding with the boats to be by the other elubs, and as yet have no four-oared shell, therefore it will be _ for them to enter for those races, but they are willing to enter their six-oared Jap-streak gig “Ariel” against a similar boat. In comparing the upper with the lower course there seems to be no argument in favor of the course urged by the Potomac club, while the facilities for wi! itnessing a boat race over the lower course would accommodates the entize community. The course extends from 6th street wharf along the Arsenal grounds to the Eastern Branch, one mile and a half, and return, and is a perfectly straight course, with ho current. Allraces that have heretofore taken I es have been over the Potomac course, or m jeorgetown waters. It is but fair and in justice to the citizens of Washin, }» a8 well as the Washington and Arlington clubs, that the regatta should take place over the lower course. Come, gentlemen, settle your difficulties. and let us have a first-class tta, in which ail the | elnbs having the facilities will participate with at least (co entries from each club.
