| Text | A meeting of the Cincinnati Club was held last evening at the Grand Hotel. The Directors were all present. When President Thorner entered he was greatly surprised to learn that the gathering had been called, unknown to him, for the purpose or reorganizing the Club. He was slightly at a loss to account for this. He was given to understand that certain circumstances had arisen which necessitated a change. Some of the Directors had had a meeting, at which it was decided to increase his (Mr. Thorner's) powers in the Board. So it was agreed to rearrange matters. Under the new state of affairs, an election was had which resulted in the selection of the following officers: President—Justus Thorner. Vice-President—Aaron Stern. Treasurer—George Herancourt. Then came the good word for President Thorner. One of the Directors announced that the Board was greatly pleased with his work so far. They fully indorsed all his engagements of players and other transactions, and especially did they support the stand taken by him in the American meeting at Philadelphia. Hereafter he was every thing. He had the entire say, and in his ability to successfully manage the Club did they have full confidence. He was authorized to engage a Secretary and manager, and do whatever he thought was for the interest of the Club. Invested with such powers, he will make a number of improvements in the grounds. The privileges of the bar, &cs., will be put up for the highest bidder, and every effort exerted to have this the most prosperous season of base-ball ever known in this city. … The honors bestowed upon President Thorner are nothing more than that gentleman is deserving of. He has worked most zealously during the past winter to secure such a team as would do credit to Cincinnati, devoting much valuable time in that way. He has shown that he has the welfare of the National pastime greatly at heart. His many friends will heartily rejoice at this testimonial to his untiring energy and disinterestedness. |
