- oAtiNSU was pldiilly evident at their
ineetlng OF last evening in the parlors
ol the commercial club. The attend
ance was large and much important
business was disposed of, although
each matter was carefully discussed
and considered in its turn # was
generally agreed that the time IeftN
work was short, and all present enterA
earnestly into the proceedings witholN
consuming time squabbling over small
oelalls The few reports possible at so
early a date We're concisely presented
ana promptly acted upon, and the same
ouslnessllke spirit characterized all the
action taken. In the absence of Presi-
dent Schurmeier, Vice President Bowl
py occupied the chair and upon calling
the meeting to order he requested r. Is
" Br1en to report for the committee on
incorporation. Mr. O'Brien stated that
as his committee was composed en-
tirely of attorneys 1t had been CON
GUIDED that they were merely expected
TO consider the question of legality of
incorporation and report to another
committee larger and more general in
It's character, who would proceed with
! the broader scheme of Incorporation
His committee had decided that the as
| soclat1on could legally incorporate un-
1 DER Title of the act relating to in
! corporations, on the ground that it's
! OBJECT was pecuniary profit inasmuch
4 as admission would be charged to enter
/ the grounds and to use the skating
! rinks, toboggan slides and similar con-
| Ven1ences. Asked as to the liability of
stockholders, If so Incorporated, he ex-
plalned that they would first be liable
for the amount of stock subscribed
and In case of insolvency for second
sum equal to the amount of their stock
In case, however, the Incorporation
should prove to be illegal the stock
holders might perhaps be held liable
as partners. Mr. O'Brien further
called attention to the fact that in
case all the directors became incor-
! porators, as was customary the plan
would involve much trouble and loss of
/ time necessary in securing the sigma
! lures Of los gentlemen. He therefore
suggested that the executive commit
/ tee be instructed to incorporate Mr.
SchoHe inquired If it would not be pos
sible to escape the possibility Of double
liability to stockholders by incerporat-
/ ing under the laws of West Virginia,
and w. E. Bramhall replied that there
would be no double liability If the as
| sociation could incorporate under the
laws of either Maine or West Virginia,
but he was not prepared to say whether
this might legally be done.
On motion of Mr.. ScholIe the matter
was referred to the executive commit
tee, with power to act
Isaac Lederer, Of the committee on
| organization, reported that much en-
thusiasm had been shown in regard to
| the formation of carnival clubs and
the Boston club sixty members; La
! fayette, forty-five members, and West
ern Union, sixty members, had already
reported as ready for duty. Beside
this the committee had received notice
that 200 of the students Of the agri-
cultural school were ready to sub
scribe so cents each to the carnival
fund and organize as a carnival club,
and an effort was being made to re-
organize the old Seven Corners club.
which was one of the features of the
carnivals Of a few years ago Mr..
Floan had reported to the committee
that he was organizing a ski club, and
an effort would be made to induce
some of the noted ski jumpers Of the
world to attend the carnival. Maj. C.
A. Smith had promised the organiza-
ton of a fiambeau club among the
members of the militia. and Manager
George Lennon, of the Plymouth, stat
ed that the employees Of his house
would organize. Harry Hope, of the
Omaha general offices, and j. Walter
Brown, of the Elks, also promised
clubs.
Mr.. Lederer advocated the idea of
trying to induce all the large whole
sale and retail houses and the news
papers to form clubs. He said an eff
| fort had been made to reorganiZe the
old Columbia and ST. George Snow
Shoe clubs but without success SO far
| He concluded his report by urging the
| directors to organize at once them
I selves and thus set an example to 9TH
| ers. This suggestion was acted upon
| at once and Mr.. Meade was elected cap
tain of the Directors club.
| Col r. M. Newport was called upon
| to report as chairman of the commit
! tee on finance. whose members had
| been selected by the chairman, but not
yet presented. Mr.. Newport, after
| stating that he had no report to make,
| declined the honor of the chairman
ship, on the ground of lack of time,
| and requested that he be allowed to
name Ross Clarke in his place. He
said however, he would gladly serve
as a member of the committee and do
| everything in his power to aid in its
important work. A motion permitting
the withdrawal Of Col. Newport as
chairman, designating Mr.. Clarke as
chairman of the committee and per
mitting the chairman to add from time
to time such names as he might deem
proper, was adopted. The names OF
the committee were then read as fol-

/ City Clerk Jensen, who had been
asked to confer with the Capital City
Driving club as to a racing track on
4 the river, reported that he had seen
some Of the members Of the club Satur-
Cay and learned that three-quarter-
mile track would be necessary in order
to secure enjoyable racing. This could
/ be maintained at an expense not great
er than $75 for the season and the horse
owners would expect the association to
offer small prizes such as whips and
blankets to be competed for. These
