will of the Club, whilst he still adheres to all the princl
and maxims of turf law, laid down in his protest of the I_,
of February, he is desirous to withdraw and express his re 1""
for so much of the language in which that protest has

ment was satisfactory to the Club.

Sr'
tives to any one, but he had heard of meetings attended by,
O'Brien, Mr. Lowry, and Mr. Vincent, at which wee
those gentlemen were silent; he, therefore, thought there "-

political boarding school f‘r daring to express his opinion, ,atte
he would go there again before he would give up even the
