| Text | The clubs are beginning to hold their annual meetings, and one of the most prominent of these gatherings was that of the Excelsior Club last week, the attendance at their annual meeting being larger than for years past, whilst more than usual enthusiasm in the welfare of the game was manifested. An excellent corps of officials were elected, the choice of President being a very judicious one, Mr. Richard Oliver being elected to fill the position. The old members of the club have not, of late years, taken that interest in the club as a base ball organization they should have; in fact, but for the junior members and a few seniors the club would have taken no active part in the seasons’ play for the past two years. Now, however, the promise is, under the new regime, that a different state of affairs will exist. Dr. Jones, on the night of the meeting, addressed the club and forcibly and eloquently appealed to them to rally once again in the good cause, he pointing out tot hem that under the new status of the game the club now had a path presented to them to follow which would yield them the fame which their club enjoyed in 1860. |
