What is the chief reason for this change? The change in the control is made incidental to incorporation. But it has not been shown that incorporation is necessary. Our Society under its present management has been strikingly successful. It is on a sound financial basis, and is committed to a very safe and conservative policy. Its permanent capital has reached the sum of $32,000, it does for the most part a cash business, has practically no debts, and is entitled to the best rating that Bradstreet or Dun give.

Before going any further it must be remembered that it is yet to be shown that any man whose vital organs were sound and who had properly and carefully trained, has ever been injured in a 'Varsity race, either in this country or in England.
