Y., July 16. 187ft 3 the Editor or thb Hkkald:? 7 notlco In your issuo of tho 12th Inst, a coramnnicw on concerning tho National Association ot Amateur arstnen, and, although most aquatic gentlemen will rcelvo the animus and detect the misrepresentation! ' the anonymous writer, many of your readers may ; misled by serorul of his statements, which 1 deotn my duty to correct. Tho National Association is engaged In an open warre against hired oarsmen, who lack tho manliness ts iter in professional races, but are anxious to compete . our regattas on equal torins with unquestionable amours. llecnuso Mr. James IL Rtloy is proved to have en a waterman (be left nis fishing and farming and >w gains his livelihood as an ''amateur" sculler), thi xccuuvu Committee disqualified hint, and soluly oa count ot this action have tho majority of the comItteo been abused and their motives impugned. To correct tho misleading assertions of your conibntor perhaps tho simplost way will bo to giro a lef statement of the facts. It Is true Mr. Riley waa :cidcd, i>y u committoe ol his townsfolk and acquainttoes, to bo an amateur according to the Saratoga doll11. ii, but that ilciiniiion diilcrs materially Irom the ac adopted by ibis association and recognized as the itliouul definition. Rclng entered at our rega la, held i Troy last August, the charge was preferred agulust r Riley that lie bad lollowed Halting as an ocoupaon. tin achouut ot the lato day at which it was preirred tho charge could not bo properly substantiated 1 tho tinio?to procure satisfactory proof in sucli cases . always a matter ol great tiillicuily?and the Regatta oiutiiitteo consequently allowed him to row and rought the case before the Executive Committee lor ivestigation. Toe latter committee appointed the uu crsigued and Mr. huslis as a sub committee to asceriHi the 14cIs. It was expected ttiat a report 011 lil be made ami the case decided at tho toetiug held J an a iry M, but, through the el.iy of the Neptune Club in presenting vidcncc tor tho deluncc, the mutter was postponed util the lollowing day. Meantime, several of the Kxeutlvo Committee had roturued to their homes, and :heu the report was made tbu only gentlemen picseal ere the three who have sustained Mr. Itiley throughut and the secretary. Tho sub-committee's report was tvidod, ono favoring Mr. Kilcy's acquittal and the titer his conviction, and tho committee voted that the Parties wore not sustained. Two geulleiucu were reoriiod as voting, through their proxy, with tho tnajrny in Mr. Kiley'a favor, who. alter they had i?orjiinlly examined tho evidence, becaino aatisflcd of- bit u;11 ' Accordingly, at tho next mooting, one of them loved a reconsideration ol tho vote, which was had, iio two gentlemen who had voted by proxy lor his acuiltul now voting lor Ins couvlclion, and Mr. Kiloy ras accordingly disqualified nud has ro stood ever nice. At this meeting ttio case was not retired nud o new evidence was presented. The committee merely Viewed their previous action, overruled the views of Humil ity und recorded the final verdict of the full ommiuce aguiust tho eligibility ot the Saratoga :ullcr. .Subsequently, a request was made by tho Neptune lub lor a ri bearing, and lour members ol tho commitso, not being able to attend the mooting in parson, ore represented by proxy, as is provided lor in our ylaws, and according to the long-conliuucd practice of lie Hoard. These gentlemen were all of them oposed to e reopening ol the Kiloy case, which had boon Iready tried and decided. Thev were, however, willig to recc.ve uiiy new evidence, witu tho distinct nderstaudmg that tho prosoculiou ho afforded an oportuuity ol rebutting It, and. alter the arguments pro ud con had boon submitted, they stood ready a decide equitably us to whether the evt ence justiiieu a roopcning 01 me case, lui, determiiiod to reinstate tbo inan by fair moans or y loul. tho iu uority, contrary to justice, procedcut nd the association's written law, excluded proxloa rum voting on tbo question. Ex parte testimony was Ucn beard; an ooporiuuny lor the examination or ontradiclioQ or certain documents read, but not submied, wad denied, aud Mr. Riley was declared an inateur It was a barclaced fraud, and Is openly ondemncd by evory friend ol the amateur movement, nd, I iliink, by ull fair-minded men. Uur committee consist* of nine members, and six of hem iiavu Hinee tins meotiug protested over tbeir own ignutures against the legality of such proceedings. At he lost regular meeting all action ol tbo preceding iceting, where proxies were refused an opportunity ol uting, was do lured null and void. Ttiu secretary in bis minutes did not record any procodings where but a fraction ol the court declared tb? ?w and deliberately denied their associates on ths encti a voico lu the deliberations. Such proceeding! lie committee na* since declared illegal, and they should avu no place on the oillcial minutes. At the meeting eld Juno is Mr. Cruit moved tlint the secretary he conured, not "lor publishing (also accusations against iciuters of the committee," lor this be bad not done, ut "lor remissness of duly in not recording II the transactions of the previous meeting." his m >tion wus seconded by Mr. Kustle, and lihougu there were six meinbern present lu person nd one by proxy Messrs. Craft and Kuslis were the u y gent louden who voted lor tho resolution. I have now in luy iKisaession sufllcient new evidcnco, luce procured, to relate the pretentious affidavits prectiled in Mr. Riley's behalf and to establisn his guilt to in satisfaction id auy uuprejodiced person. Tlio Nutiouul Ahsoulatiou proposes to persist in its resent lino ol action, and any club cbatlng under tbo striciion* of the amateur code, or unwilling to be oundbyellof our laws, can readily withdraw from uinborsUip. Our Kxeoutivo Committee is "composed of represen* tilvc men," tho majority of whom have no law-break* ig crews to shield and no personal antagonists to puuU, but are deicrmiued to do their wnolu duty wituout <ar or tuvor, aud il by our course wo Incur the ills.
