A NEW CLUB APPLIES FOR ADMISSION
After the calling of the roll of clubs
Mr.. J.. S. Moore moved to enroll the name
'of Hampton Club.
President King-Will the gentleman

Col. Cothran-The information which
VIC have of this club is too vague and in
definite. Before any action is taken by
this club, the facts of it's organization and
membership should be inquired into
The club knows nothing of it's existence
in any way.
J.. S. Moore-I move that a committee
be appointed which will report the facts
to this club.
DIR. Wideman-No new club call be
formed. We arc in the same condition
in Bordeaux that our friends Me in Dui
West. We wish to organize two clubs
but deferred doing so until we could OBJ
tain expression from the County Club a.

not mistaken this club passed a resolu'
ton during the last campaign, which for
bids the Organization Of new clubs.
