DIOCESAN UNION ELECTION.
Presidency FJlIed by j. r. Murphy
/ of This CITY.

The annual melting of the Diocesan
Union was held a few days ago at the
rooms of the Young Mems Catholic Asso-
citation in Newark, and was attended nv
Representatives of over fifteen clubs. The
meeting was called to order by President
John Murphy, of the Catholic Club and ST.
Feter's Lyceum of this city. The impor-
tant business was the election of officers.
This occupied the biggest part of the
eFen1ng There was a strong rivalry for
the places, and the desire of the Newark
CLUBS to contest the most important places
was successful. They elected all but the
President, which position was filed by the
retention of the present incumbent. Mr.
Murphy is qualified in every respect to
I'LL the position as he has done with a
great deal OF credit for several seasons.
The Union has been very successful under
his control, and it is not to be wondered
at that the members desired to retain
him. The fall list of officers chosen was:
President, John F. Murphy, of this
city, Nice-President, John f. O'Hara, Of
Newark; Recording Secretary, J. ]. Blew
itt,of Newark; Corresponding Secretary.
e. J.@O'Brien, of Newark; Treasurer, J.. S.
Murphy, of Elizabeth; Delegates to the
National Convection of National Clubs to
be held at New York September q and
%. John F. Murphy, John F. OHara and
B. ]. Owens. The committee in charge
Of the recent games made a report and
decided to award the honors without the
least comment in reference to the manner
IN which the Catholic Club of this city
was prevented from winning the largest
share OF the prizes. The Union decided
10 alter the date for the approaching cycle
races from September % to October 10,
because of the failure of the committee
70 secure the permit for the race on the
Springfield track. and 1t was settled to
hold the contests on the river road at
Nutley. The committees to take charge
of the winter tournaments Will be APP
