DIR. RainsfoTd was not to be seen yesterday
but Il IL known that he was black bslled in the
Metropolitan Club Nobody In the club would
say why Dr. RAinsford was rejected.
II was ascertAined also yesterday that ad-
mission TO ths club has been denied to Addi-
son Canimack, tho great Wall street bear. and
to Colhs T.. Huntington. Mr. tammack was
seen at his home. - East Sixty seventh street
He said: ,,.,,
