THE AUTHORS CLUB.

One of the best known authors in this city, WHO
il interested in the organization OF the new AuhO
Club but who requested that his name be withheld
from publication, said yesterday in conversation
with a TRIBUNE reporter in regard to the club
"There were some errors in the account Of the
club which was published yesterday. The clnb
was not organized 10 protect American authors III
the matter o. copyright 1T has no definite OBJECT
Whatever, at least OF such a nature. In a general
way il grew out OF desire on the part of large
number OF literary in his city for closer social
relations than have heretOt eXlS Ell among them.

"A larger number of authors than any other city III the
country, that its literary men have been divided

together The literary interests OF New-lOrk have
now so important ana Is literary life is SO
active that it is desirable to bring the authors of
The city into closer relations For this purpose the
club was organized. It's founders wish simply to

ture, and will not be dependent upon any single
group of authors nor upon any single publication.
