 The objects and purposes of the two clubs are the same and to a great extent tlA memberships are inter twined. In addition to these reasons the Algonquin Club has outgrown its quarters.
 The committee on consolidation from the Seaside Club is made up as follows: Moves B. filling, chairman; Arthur W. Rurritt,- Samuel M. Flaw ley, Willie +. Hobbs. Albert E.
