Text	[reporting the monthly meeting of the Athletic Club] The report of the Board of Directors was received, stating that a communication had been received from Mr. Spalding, of the Boston Club, who said he intended making a trip to England for the purpose of ascertaining the feasibility of arranging for exhibitions of the American national game in that country by his own club, and to make the exhibitions more complete, another club would be required to accompany the Bostons. He therefore offered to act as agent of the Athletic Club, if so directed, for a joint trip with the Boston nine. The adoption of the report created considerable discussion, but a large majority favored the idea, both as concerned the great prestige to be acquired, and also in a pecuniary point of view. The directors were instructed to pay a portion of Mr. Spalding’s expenses, and await the result of his report. Such report to be submitted to the members.
