dispute shall be settled by lot.

fixed for meeting. Any expense incurred by the club through an
infringement of this by-law shall be paid by the member
offending.

shall be settled by lot, this provision having reference more
particularly to club days.
7. In the event of there being more members present than can be
accommodated in the club boats, it shall be at the discretion of
the captain or his deputy, or of such members of the committee
as may be present, to hire extra boats at the expense of the
club.
8. The committee shall from time to time appoint one of their
number to superintend the management of the boathouse, and to
make all necessary arrangements for keeping the boats of the
club in a thorough state of repair and cleanliness.
9. All crews sent by the club to contend at a public regatta
shall be formed by the captain and two other experienced members
to be named by the committee, such crews when formed to be
subject to the approval of the committee.
10. In the event of a crew being chosen to contend in any public
race or match, such crew shall be provided by the club with a
boat for their exclusive use during their time of training, and
shall have their entrance-fees paid by the club.
11. The expense of conveying boats to public regattas at which
crews of the club contend shall be paid by the crews, but the
committee shall have power to repay the whole or any part of
such expenses out of the club funds.
12. The committee, on the occasion of a club race or other
special event, shall appoint a member of the club to take charge
of and conduct all arrangements connected with the same.
13. The member pulling the stroke-oar in any club boat shall
have command of the crew.
14. Upon the arrival of a crew at the place appointed for
stopping, the captain of the boat shall (if required) fix the
time for returning; and, if any member be absent at the
appointed time, the crew shall be at liberty to hire a
substitute at the expense of the absentee.
15. Every member, on landing from a club boat, shall be bound to
assist in housing such boat, and in doing so shall follow the
direction of the captain or other officer.
