The Feeting was a well-attended \u201cone, snd wax presided over by Mr.D, \u201cWatson, President of the Club, who briefly explained the reason for the meeting.The hockey situation.in \"Quebec had renched an acute stage, and it wax necessary that all _in- 1 terested in tne game should do theit utmost to wild in the continuance of the game here.| The committee of | the «lub had taken office upon the condition that all would do their ut most to promote the game, with the understanding that there would be \u2018concessions upon all aides.The direc tors of the Skating Rink had twen ! appealed to, after a meeting between the executive and the club, during which ali the phases of the matter had been discussed.The answer of the : directors had, however, heen unfavorable, and the prospects for senior | hocke \u2018in Quebec seemed to be doom: The directors had been invited ad.to avent the meeting, hut a letter had been received from Nr.Robert Campbell, Secretary of the Rink, which Mr.Watson requested Nr.M J.Quinn, the Secretary, to read.The letter wes to the effect that while the directors were of the opin: im that nothing would Iw obtained by tluir presence at the meeting, they were willing 10 meet the execu tive of the club with a view to coming to an amicale agreement for the coming season, Mr.Watson then invited an expres | sion of opinion upon the action of the | executive of the club.and whether the Intter wan ready to support what bad !lbeen done ro far.Previous to this.however, Messrs, 1W.1, Lynch and E.EK.B.Rattray, \u2018told of their attendance of the mest: ing of the Teague and of the arrange ments for the coming ason.Mr.Watron stated that the execu: tive committes and the delegates to i the League had done all that wan possible 10 carry on the game for the present seaton.The club was ready, hut it found itself blocked hy the Skating Rink.Despite Aattering offers from abroad the local playera had expressed their willingneas to re- (main in Quebec.and help out the club in ils present difficult position.Capt.A.FE.Swift, one of the old- time stars of the Quebec Hockey Clubs, state] that in his opinion the action of the executive committee of the Queber Cluh had been taken in the best interests of the game in Quebec, and he though that the terms sought from the Rink were not exorbitant.in moving to the effect that the tion of the executive in the ac matter sustained, and that it directors.ax mvited, and ree if rome arrangement could uot be arrived at.The Rink would certainly lose a considerable revenue should the Queher senior {eam he farced to drop its memhership in the League.\"This motion van seconded by Lieut.Fred.Cnoliran, who atatel that he thought the Rink divoctors, upon see- ond thought, wanld more fully realize the situation.and that they might vel make mor favorahle arrangements with the cluls and its players.After some further discussion.| in which Mes
