| Text | About fifty members assembled at the rooms–Eighth and Vine streets–on Monday evening last to attend to some important business regarding dues and the duties of the directors. A committee was appointed to arrange with the club’s creditors for the amicable settlement of the debt contracted by the advancing of funds to the club, as several gentlemen have been kind enough to do. There seems to be considerable rivalry between some members of the club. The directors have had several of their powers tied up; and, amongst other things, are restricted in the issue of complimentary tickets. A resolution that the members of the nine elect their own captain was handed in, and will be acted upon next meeting. We hope that the members will amend their differences and enter on the season of ‘72 in harmony and brotherly feeling. The Athletic Club is the most prominent in the country, and its actions will be noticed minutely. The advisability of keeping up a good club spirit was never more apparent that at present. Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch January 14, 1872 The proceedings were marked by nothing special save the adoption of an amendment to the by-laws, fixing the annual subscription at fifteen dollars, with the privilege of a reserved seat in the pavilion for each and every member. With a view to harmonizing the seemingly antagonistic elements of the club, and to provide for the settlement of all financial difficulties, two committees, consisting of some of the most influential members, were appointed.
