| Text | [responding to a letter complaining about an earlier statement that Fitzgerald gave the Camden club status] We will tell [“Camden”] how we gave his club status. The organization had never been heard of outside of Camden, when we made engagements for it with New York clubs, which engagements at once brought it into notice, and made it of some consequence. Visiting clubs came here on our invitation, and in nine cases out of ten we were requested to make the arrangements for them. Of course, if we had omitted the Camden club, no one would have missed it. We could just as well have named the Olympics or Keystones. Thus, it will be seen we did give the Camden club status. And further, what have the Camden club done since we ceased to take an interest in it–since, in fact, a certain false and shameful publication, made by the Directors of the club last fall? Why, simply, nothing. It has fallen into insignificance. ... We make these remarks more in sorrow than in anger, and conclude by again reminding “Camden” that we gave the Camdens all the status they ever had. |
