A resolution was also adopted looking for the immediate engagement of competent players to the extent of the money already subscribed, and which now amounts to over $5,000. Negotiations are pending with Woods, Treacy and Hodes, of the White Stockings; Hall, Allison, Leonard and Mills, of the Olympics; Pike and McGeary, of the Haymakers, and Martin, of the Eckfords, and hsould an understanding be arrived at, a fine club will be organized for next season. Matthews and Carey have signed, and favorable responses are expected from most of the players named. The management of the club is in good hands, and the subscription list numbers some of our most responsible citizens, and a determination to form a club second to none in the country seems to exist. The next meeting will be held at the same place on Thursday night, the 26th instant, at 8 o’clock, and all the stockholders are invited to attend.
