[quoting an unidentified director of the New York Club] The drift of sentiment now seems to almost demand that there shall be but eight clubs in the organization. The situation requires it, and you can almost depend upon it to a certainty that eight clubs will be the quota. I would not like to state just what clubs will drop out, but when the time arrives to effect such an arrangement there will be no ill-feelings engendered, as generally supposed. Yes, it will take considerable money to purchase these clubs outright, but when to comes to a good fat offer I don't imagine there will be any hesitation in accepting.
