THE CUB.—The fortntaion of the new
club is progressing
with great success, and the
directors, amongst whom are Lord Beauclerc, Major.
General Downing, Viscount Malden, Captain Addison,
Captain W. W. Knollys, Lord Muskerry, and Lord Nigel
Kennedy, seem determined to make the club everything
that can be desired. Already a large number of members
of the highest distinction have been enrolled, and the daily
application for admission is very numerous. Tho greatest
care is exercised in the selection of candidates for the entree,
and, all things considered, the prospects of the new club
are of the most cheering description. The clubhouse is to
be erected (on the scale of the Carlton and Reform) in the
immediate vicinity of Pall-mall, but in the meanwhile
ti . n
ts
terspucuy building will be engaged for the acconawoda
of the members. The name .31 the club will be decided
upon at the first general meeting of the members.
