...very likely that there will be no clubs next year to join. By the arrangements which have been made with Mr. Blakey, and on which the existence of the clubs now hangs, unless about eight more men join each club and pay their money this year, the club-system must be numbered among the things of the past. The evil of this state of things is apparent to all. If the clubs are discontinued no persons...
