The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1894-06-12
MUSICAL MATTERSsI

There is harmony once again among the
ranks of the Schubert Glee Club, and the
two factions of the ~incorporators and those
opposed to them shook hands, m~etaphorl-
ca1ly speaking, at last nights adjourned
meeting.
As THE NEWS said on Saturday, two sub
committees from the two sides met at seven
o'clock, prior to the regular business meet
ing, at which meeting both sides came to an
amicable understanding. Tit Ratchet was
to be buried, and the incorporators gave
their consent to the proposal to abandon
the plan which created such a rumpus, and
come in with the remainder and carry on
the club in the usual way.
The reasons for the action of the incorpor-
ators, which action had been grossly mis-
understood by a large body Of members,
were made plain by Mr.. Varian Banks OF
the Committee of Five when the general
meeting was called to order.
Mr.. Banks explained the attitude of the
incorporators which had been taken with
the assurance that it was the desire OF the
majority of the club g..
Since newspaper men were excluded last
night, Lawyer George c. Tenqant furnished
the following account of what tfanSpifed:-
''Messrs. Forster and Morse, two of the in
corporators of the unauthorized club were
given the privilege OF the floor and con-
frmed what Mr.. Banks, Chairman OF the
committee, had stated. They assured the
club that their action had been taken with
the assurance that it was the desire OF the
majority of the club. :
Statements were also made which showed
that Mr.. Duncan Cameron, who was one OF
the incorporators OF, the club, acted for an
other, and that he was not at all responsible
for what had been done.
1.-THE annual election followed n these
| officers were lected:-President, c. G.
| Stimets; First Vice President, Mr.. VIM. j.
ColJ.Ao, Caoo,d Vtoa. PvaSi0nut Mr. (ran O.
Tenant; Treasurer, Mr.. r. s. Carrick
Secretary, Mr.. TT. Wiltshire; Executive
Committee, Messrs. Gillies, Rogers and
! Noltemeyer: Membership, Messrs. Adams,
Outwater and S. Il. Collins; Librarian, Mr..
r. Braithwaite; Assistant Librarian, Mr..
w. H. Brown, and Conductor, Mi. victor

The election for officers was exciting. For
President Mr.. Charles Forster made an ex-
cellent run, and Mr.. Morse was within two
votes of victory. The fact hat neither of
these gentlemen were particularly anxious
Tor the position influenced some OF the
voters. Among all the men in the organ1za-
ton none nave worked harder for its vel
fare than Messrs. Morse and Forster. As two
of the ~originators of the club they devoted
time and money towards pushing the organ
| ization to its present condition, and much or
| the past success of the club may honestly be
laid at the door of the former president and
treasurer. H. %.
These two gentlemen, forming the lin
| corporator'' faction; agreed with the Com
mittee of Fivefthat they would file a eerti-
| ticate dissolving their organization, in order
that the real club might legally file its certi-
ficate using the name schubert Glee Club
! of Jersey City"
Thus, by the tact and calm action of the
| joint committee, the lying, mischievors
| statements of the Journals Representative We,
| who was kicked out of last nights meeting,
to the contrary, the troubles which threat
| ened the premier singing club Of the State
have been dispelled, and by good guidance
nothing will mar the prosperity of the Schu-
bert Glee Club.
