Item 9.1-2 - First Trinity Boat Club minute book

1 vol., 1 folder

Deposited by the First Trinity Boat Club, Feb. 1925.

Minutes of meetings and records of races from October 1892 to February 1911. The minutes include lists of resident members, descriptions of Trinity, university, and national regattas, and mentions of the May Ball. There is a partial index at front and cuttings pasted in and laid in loose, including bumps charts that have been filled in, and one bumps chart made by hand for the 1898 races. There are several appeal letters: to purchase the land on which the Boat House sat, Feb. 1896; to publish the history of the club by W. W. Rouse Ball, and to cover expenses in the wake of the cancellation of the Ball in 1910 due to the death of the king, and unexpected works costs required by the city.
