AND NEW COMMITTEE. SPORTS CLUB FUfANGBg. An entirely new committee aad new vioe-presidents were elected at the adjourned meoting of the Sports Club lnet night. Mr M. Ballin presided. A discussion of the Club's finances caused a mild flutter in a fairly quiet meeting. Mr George Ryan said that the Club had liabilities amounting to £4OO. Where did the old committee stand in regard to these liabilities, now that a now committee was elected P Mr Talbot: They're not liable. Mr Ryan: Do you guarantee thatf Mr Talbot: You want a legal opinion. I say you're not liable. Mr Ityan: I think you know whut I'm speaking about without my going any further into it. I want a guarsntee that we're not liable. The chairman said that Mr F. Graham, who had been re-elected Prealdent, had previously guaranteed the deb's overdraft of £4OO. Mr J. Murphy said that a new an 1 energetic committee had been cleeted. and its members would work hard and seo that the liabilities were wiped off. Mr Ryan: No good, no goodl Ton know what's happened ana we wmnt your assurance that we're not liable. The chairman: I can't ooncetr*--Mr Ryan: I don't care what yon ota or can't conceive. I want as aaourance we're not liable. Mr Stacey then rose. He had previously wanted to go into committee, baring no wish to give to certain of the public the pleasure of reading in print accounts of the Club's dispntes. If Mr Ryan liked to come to the committee they could more than satiafy him. Mr Ryan: Very well, I'll aeeept the assurance of Mr Stacey that he will produce a satisfactory assurance that our liability is finished with. Mr Stacey: If you come along to a meeting of the executive we'll diieun the matter together. We don't want 1$ show the public the worst aide, but the best side of the sport. The meeting then went into committee for further discussion of the matter.
