This decision was wholly unexpected and all
the causes for the change Of plan are not yet

Some time ago. when the club was gaining
by leaps and bounds, Mr.. Croker thought the
building II is now in would be inadequate to
meet all requirements. He looked around for
new quarters and incidentally visited the New
York Athletic Club. He decided that this would
make ideal quarters, and bargain was driven.
The New-York Athletic Club was to receive
from the Democratic Club the sum Of Sl90,OD.
The first money was paid and the transaction
closed Then some other organization which
wanted this building came along and offered the
Democratic Club $50. 900 additional to turn over

rejected at first.
