club and by that time the necessary arrange
ment will have been completed. On the
other name Messrs. Foster. Morse and Wilt

plan in Difference to the wishes of
the majority. Among some of the
rumor that Mr.. Victor Baier had resigned
his conductorship before going to Europe.
Mr.. Stimets has not received it; neither does
Secretary Wiltshire know anything about
it. One thing is certain, that certain express
sions of opinion made at the last
meeting about Mr.. Baier's share
in the incorporation plan didn't
please that gentleman when some
stdamned good natured friend,n as Sir Peter
Teazle puts it, told him what had been said.
This, it was rumored, gave such a surprise
that a resignation was at once sent. Only
Mr.. Baier's return can clear up the matter.
