Text	[reporting on the Philadelphia Club annual meeting] The following startling resolution was offered for adoption by Mr. John Welsh: That officers of the club go before a judge or magistrate and make oath that they will not knowingly or willingly allow any game played during their administration or term of office to be sold or given away. To this strong opposition was made by Samuel Davies. Mr. Welsh then informed the club that “to his certain knowledge telegrams had been sent from the club while absent from home, telling certain parties how they should bet, and, although there should be 'honor among thieves,' still on the strength of these telegrams one party was getting the best of the other, and that all such dishonest practices should be put down.” The motion as then agreed to. So it will be seen that hereafter the officers of the Philadelphia Club will have to go before a Justice of the Peace and take oath that they will not allow any game to be sold in their club. The inference, of course, is that this thing has been done.
