[Mutual vs. Hudson River 7/22/1867] The Mutual Club of New York visited Newberg...to play a “social” game with the Hudson River Club of that place. ... we are not informed whether the Mutual Club received the usual token of victory; but as it was merely a “social” game this formality was probably dispensed with. It is astonishing how little some prominent clubs are willing to risk on what they style merely “social” games. The Mutual Club have a powerful reserve force which one would suppose would make it entirely unnecessary for them to ask the Newberg Club to consent to a violation of the rules of the Association.
