Hon. James N. Kerns, the new President of the Athletics, has determined to signalize his administration. He will endeavor to arrange a trip to England and France for twenty members of the club, for the purpose of giving the old world a taste of Base Ball. The Athletics would like to meet the Atlantics, or any other first class organization, in England, there to play for the championship of the world. The Committee on European trip is as follows–Col. Ellmaker, Col. Clark, Hon. Samuel Daniels, Hon. Jas. N. Kerns, Hon. Jos R. Lyndall, Hon. James N. Marks, Hon. Harry Bumm, Alderman Hurley, Alderman Godbou, Alderman John White, Alderman Beitler, and Gibson Peaco’, each of whom will contribute $500 to the trip.
