both tickets, his real fight will be made for the
presidency on the independent opposition
ticket. Schuyler may be cut little, but We
think ticket will win just the same, said an
enthusiastic opposition man to Tribune reporter
last night. We have nothing especially against
Mr.. Cox, but he represents a social dctatorial
clique which trying to down. The regular
ticket is not purely social any more than our OPP
position ticket is purely athletic Our ticket
represents the social well athletic element In
the club, but more especially an element which
wishes to raise the tone of the club and to be
especially beneficial to amateur athletics. We
are stronger than the regulars give us credit for
and think will carry the day tomorrow night
There is large contingent Of eth Regiment and
Stock Exchange men in our club, and we hope to
poll about that whole vote. Schuyler has good
following among the soldier athletes and B. c.
Williams, the stockbroker, who is working hard
for ticket, will bring to Mr.. Schuyler large
following from Wall Street.
Does not the opposition ticket represent the
faction that is dissatisfied with the present club
house and its surroundings, well as the way in
which the club is run?" asked the reporter.
Well yes was the reply " 1t does in
measure, although the general sentiment in the
club now seems to favor general shaking up
our cluD has DecH lnc lnOst powerful
ganizatOn IN the country, and We do not propose
10 lose that position without a struggle. While
we have the finest athletic clubhouse in New
York to-day, a rival organization is putting up an
ediiice which for site and architectural effects
Will put in the shade. They will not, how
ever, keep in the shade long. No official action
has yet been announced about our intentions
in this respect, as the publication OF them might
in a il sure handicap our efforts. Still, the SEN
tinlent in the club is in favor of new quarters,
and they will be secured in time. The site OF our
present clubhouse, at tifty-ifth- h-st. and Sixth
ave. Is not as pleasant as We desire, ana the mouse
is not large enough Tor our big membership. we
already have a piece of property in view which
will build upon as soon as we get possession OF
il. We do not 10 have the site known yet.
for if the owner of the property knew that we
wanted il he would put the price up Then a9aN.
tle club winch will take up our old quarters
when we vacate them might become a little too
aggressive about the rent it would pay us or the
price al which it would purchase. You can resi-
assured that the club members are determined
not only 70 have a new clubhouse, handsomer and
larger than the present edtce but in a more de-
sirable neghborhood.'
Walter g. Schuyler is at the head Of the faction
so dcsirous Of securing new quarters, ana II re-
mort is made shortly announcing that grounds IN
The neighhorhood of one of the most fashionable
and desirable spots in the city have been secured,
10 one need be much surprised.
