The committee [organizing the amateur convention] propose to consider the National Association as having practically become a defunct institution at the Convention of 1867, when it ceased to be entirely controlled by the amateur portion of the fraternity, in whose interest and for whose sole benefit the association was organized. They consider that the association which has been run since 1867 is an illegal institution, inasmuch as it was based on laws adopted in violation of the printed constitution of 1866. By this cause the convention of Amateurs will occupy a position which will give them the future control of the National Association, and throw out of power and office every member of a professional club now assuming control of the association, under the auspices of which the November Convention was held.
