Bulkelcy and Ferguson, President and Manager
Of the present Hartford Club, By which the lat
ter have bound themselves to play their games

sult OF enough negotiation to have concluded q

sides, but the wishcd-for agreement was not
reached becausethe managers Of the Club wished

litter offered terms in return which the man
ayers were not willing to accept The deadlock
tins made was continued until a few days ago,
when the other five clubs in the arena venturcd

proper to congratulate the new club. which will
be called the Brooklyn Club, On its change Of
base, which will not only do it much good, but
viii help the game by keeping alive in the
metropolis an attachment to the best sport Of
the country. It will also be an excellent thing

the cloud which has hung orer the Mutual
Clubs administration Of the game in Brooklyn.

that Ferguson will do, that he will rout out the
rotten gang who have hung on the heels Of the
game under the Mutual administration
A private telegram received from Brooklyn by
= TRIBUNE reporter last evening says that the
arrangements for the transfer are all made, and
that the signatures of both parties will be at

the city, returns It is not, OF course, OF 80
much matter when the signatures are affixed So
long as the agreement has been reached.
