| Text | Since the American Association gave the Metropolitan Exhibition Company permission to transfer the Metropolitan Club from New York City to Staten Island, it has become apparent that the American Association will no longer be represented in New York. It is said at Staten Island that Erastus Wiman, under whose direction the Metropolitan Club will be, is negotiating for a piece of land of about ten acres near West New Brighton, for which he expects to pay $170,000. This ground is to be fitted up for the Metropolitan Club with the latest improved club houses and grand stands. The move is well liked by the Staten Island people. The Sporting Life October 28, 1885 Newspapers are talking about the removal of the Metropolitan Club to Staten Island, as though it had been accomplished. This is premature. The minutes of the Association will show that the Mets asked for this permission, but it was not granted. The matter lies on the table and there is some opposition to the scheme.
