The Star Club.--A special meeting of this Club took place last evening at their rooms in Jarolemon and Court streets, at which quite a number of the members were present, and considerable business of importance to the welfare of the Club was transacted. In the first place, it was resolved to play the Fly Game this season, a resolution we should like to see all first-class Clubs adopt....

The resolution in reference to the fly game is as follows:--

Whereas, We, the members of the Star Base Ball Club of Brooklyn, having become well satisfied of the superiority in every respect, of what is popularly known as the Fly Game, especially as a rule of play conferring additional advantages for a display of skill, and increasing the attractive features of the game; availing ourselves of the privilege allowed by the proviso to the rules, in reference to the Fly Game, contained in the By-laws of the National Association, hereby

Resolve, That during the ensuing season we shall play all practice games, and also such matches with other clubs that can be so arranged, according to the rules laid down in the proviso above referred to.
