Postponement of Racing

Acting upon the recommendation of Congress, and citing "report upon the state of the country," the club postponed all racing in the autumn of 1775 because of the break out of war. Races had been continued in this fashion until 1775. The postponement is dated only to the season; no specific day is recorded. Annapolis is identified as the locality on the basis of the club's founding and race location there, an inference flagged in the uncertainty note rather than stated in the postponement passage itself.
