In the recent convention at Boston an application was received from the Louisiana club, of New Orleans, for admission to the list, but it was closed, and she could not at that time be received, but there will be no trouble in admitting the new constellation when the proper fee is sent on. They have a very good nine, made up from the Robert E. Lee and other clubs of that vicinity. We hardly approve of the admission of this club, as it is a repetition of the old system of co-operative clubs which have caused so much trouble during the past three seasons, and we will be glad to hear on that account of their failure to procure admission, while, had they a really first-class club, we would like to seem them as participants, as it has long been our wish to see the game extend in its professional ramifications all over the country.
