...Captain of the Holyoke boat-club has requested us to state that all persons who wish to join the club must send in their money to the Treasurer before the end of January, 1876. A place will be reserved for any one who sends his name to the Secretary before that time, but it is desired that the money should be paid as soon as possible. No one will be able to join the club after February...
