The meeting OF the American Kennel Club
yesterday in the clubs rooms at IS Liberty
street passed on quietly enough in some re-
spects, but the aftermath threatens seriously
for the peaceful ending Of the struggle bet weeh
certain divisions OF the members. II was
announced after the meeting came to an end

to-day to determine whether or not the Amer
lean Kennel Club Is legally incorporated

that the club is not legally incorporated
has raised a large sum Of money for the pbr-
pose OF conducting this fight.

GUS complications. For instance there were
only about six members Of what In called the

by Lawrence N. ID. Mcclure Of the Irish
Setter Club. who when the roll call reached
his name arose and protested formally against
the holding OF the meeting, alleging that the
club had no legal right to meet. This pro-
test was noted, as were like protests by other
members of the Ashland House committee.
IL had been announced that In order to
throw a sop to the hostlles that tw enty-one
members OF the board OF directors would
resign so that a new board might be elected,

perpetuating were untrue. When 1t came
