On Tuesday evening last a meeting of gentlemen prominent in base ball circles was held at the Southern Hotel, St. Louis, mainly for the purpose of organizing a professional base ball club, to represent that city next season. It was agreed that the capital stock should be $10,000, in shares of $50 each, with the restriction that no one person take more than ten shares, and fifty per cent. to be paid in by the first of March next. $5,800 of the capital stock was raised immediately, and a committee of three appointed to draft articles of incorporation for the club. The meeting then adjourned until next week.
