. Members to Be . Asked to Give
An Expression of Opinion on
increase In ilues from $15 to

Are Against-it the Club Iiili

A special and important meeting of
The Knob Outing Club, to consider the
situation which has arisen from‘the
increase of the lease price and the
doubling of the 'bus service cost, was
held last night at the Mahackemo Ho
tel, and after a discussion of the sub-
lwt from every point of view for two
hours, it. was voted to obtain the senti-
meat of the whole club upon the prop-
ositlon to increase the yearly dues to
820 per year. ‘

About sixty members of the club
were assembled with President Rich-
ard H. Golden In the chair. President
Golden at the outset explained that the
present crisis in The Knob's affairs.
due in part to the increase in the rental
price from 81,350 to 81,800, by reading
a letter from Ross Burchard, son of
the owner of the club property. This.
together with the increased price of
the 'bus service make a continuance
of the organization on the present barn,
is of $15 with the present membership.
prohibitive.

The ’bus service is estimated to be
81,200, as against about $600 last year.
Mr. Banks has not. raised the price per
team, but he Insists that he has been
working the horses too hard on the
service, and that hereafter he will in«

alst that there be two busses Instead
of one.
A number of interesting matters were

 

 

brought out at the meeting. The dues-o

tIon of how many members would re-
main in The Knob if thé proposed new
club at Dorion'e Point succeedes was
asked, and It was pointed out that the
result would probably be the dissoluv
tion of The Knob.

Ross Burchard, who was in atten-
dance, was asked if his father would
give a three years' lease of the proper-
ty at the increased price. and he re-
plied that he would. To make sure he
called his father over the telephone
and confirmed this statement. the only
stipulation being that the lease be
made subject to the sale of the prop
erty. Mr, Burchard, .lrL, stated In his
letter to President Golden that his
father has a party who wishes to hire
The Knob at a figure in excess of
$1.800 a year. but he did not wish to
make the change this year. 'Mr. Bur-
chard also said at last night's meeting
that the net income from The Knob
property had net boon large, To Illus-

in the Selectmen’s Office To-
night '

Another meeting of the lioard of
Intimate and Taxation will be held

 

this evening at. the ofilce of the select-

men to further discuss the legality of

the matter of appropriating 85,500 for
the town's third share oi the cost of

the new bridge which it is hoped will
be erected over Meadow street.

The only obstacle appears to be in
getting a favorable opinion from Town
Counsel Warner & oidsohmidt, and it
is understood that this has not yet
been received. Selectman John Del/Inc
this morning expressed the opinion
that the Board of Estimate and Taxa-
tion could not. make the appropriation
to build the bridge.

Very nearly all oi the organizations
in our town are at present engaged In
contests. such as billiards. pool and
bowling. A new one was started last
night, that. oi cuchre. between the two
Catholic Union Councils of Norwalk.
Last evening was the first in a series
of seven games. Norwalk won in the.
first series, as of course it would not
have looked well for South Norwalk
Council to invite their brothers down
to their rooms and then beat them. A
large delegation'oi members of Cath-
olic l'nlon Council accompanied their
champions down, and acted as scorers

There were expressions both for and

One proposition was to maintain the

with strong opposition, though a few
were in favor of the plan.

On the point of raising the dues, '

more members were in favor of ln-l

oally Enjoyed by a Large
Audience

 

Artistic. In the highesl degree. the
second subscription concert given by
Mrs. Lillian Sherwoui-Newklrk,‘ at
Lockwood's Hall. last evening, proved
a veritable treat for the many music
lovers who we‘re fortunate enough to
be there. Vocalists and tnuelcluns
alike Were at their best, and the great
pleasure thcy at all times gave their
audience was clearly evident from the
rounds of enthusiastic applause which
greeted the-Ir splendid charts, lloth
Mrs. Nc-wkirk and all lhoul‘ who took
part in the performance are certainly
deserving of great praise, and they re-
colved it in large msmtlrilll'f‘ lust night.

The performance ’ opened ‘ very
pleasingly with an overturn, by the
Sextelte Club, of itoeuon. and thls'was
followed by four songs in Gcrman. by
John Barnes Wells. of New York. Mr.
Wella' singing was truly delightful.
particularly in the Fay Song, when be
fairly thrillcd the. audience with the
rare quality and dramatic fervor of
his voice. and it is quite safe to say
that a finer tenor has never been heard
before In The Norwalks.

A clarinet solo, by Mr. Stunts, direc-
tor of the Sextclta Club. was next on
the program, and his work. which was
very clever, was heartily applauded.
Mr. Staaiu is said to be one of the best
known men In his line in the country.
He fully lived up to his reputation.

l-‘our dainty chansons. by Mrs. Low.
soprano, of New York. were‘lhcn ren-
dered. and the reception they received
must have been very gratifying to that
artist. At the conclusion of those
songs. Mm. Low was presented with a
beautiful bouquet of flowers, which she

 

or she sang a selection from "Norma."
mild this too was generously applaud-
m.

The playing both of the Bomonia
Sextettc Club and the StringQuIntcltc
was also very fine, and contributed
largely to the success of the evening's
entertainment.

The piano accompanlsts were Flor-
ence Buckingham Adams. .for Mr.
Wells. and Alfred G. Crawford, for
Mrs. Low. Their work was very satis-
factory

It in to be hopcd that the next. and
last concert. to be given by Mrs, New-
klrk April 8, will approximate the one
she gave last night. wuirh was. as
said before. a most enjoyable artistic
one in every way. No doubt it will,
Judging from the array of talent. she
has already secured.

closed their doors yesterday. Both of
these banks were Included in the
chain of banks controlled ,by Charles
w. Morse, F. Augustus Below and E.
R. Thomas, and after the closing of
the National Bank of North America
a few days ago there had-been what
practically amounted to runs of deposi-
tors upon th'em. Both of them were
still unable to take. up the certificates
which the Clearing House issued dur-
ing lilo financial stringency and when
the renewed drain upon their resources
began the Clearlng.House authorities
declined to further extend the amount
of certificates already issued to them.
Ii‘caring heavier withdrawals today, the
officials of both banks decided last
night. to close their doors today.

Although this action was not unex-

these banks several others not. In the

It Is not anticipated that the closing
of the New Amsterdam and Mechanics'
and Trndcrs‘ Banks will have any ef-

fect upon the general banking situation
in this city as both of them have been
going through a gradual liquidation for
the last few months In which their
debits and credits havo been gradual-

veIOped only In special instances.

One of the institutions which I’elt
