Fing S.AL chair . A be DOU . Atkinson , occupied treasurer , Mr. d . Parker , read a statement of the finances of the club , which showed a balance in hand of about £ 7 , and announced that the annual balance sheet would not be issued until after the club athletic sporta had been held . The following officers were elected for the coming season : -President , Mr. W. Atkinson ; vice - presidente , Revs . G. L. King . H. E. Bil . brough , A. Ramabotham , Councillors G. Beattie , A. Robson , J. Reay , G. Laucock , Messrs . L. Walker , R. Snell , W. Tye . J. Walker , J. Hunter , J. Winakill , F. M. Laing , J. Comans , W. Davidson , L. Scott , S. Mendham , junr .. R. Brown , R. C.

Wilson ; hon . secretary , John H. Whitfold ; amistant honorary secretary . Joseph Whitfield . It was decided to change the club colours to green and gold . The Scottish Football Association held its annual menting last work , and Mr. Walter Crichton was elected president . The Scottish Association is now seriously hampered with funds , and hardly seem to know what to do with the £ 4,000 which credits their account at the bank . A proposal to oquip a ground capable of holding 100,000 spectators did not strike the meeting as the best investment , and , like the Football Association , they decided to go in for comfortable Consols . In this , no doubt , the Association acted wisely , for a ground to hold 100,000 would cost something to keep in order , and , besides , there are three football enclosures in Glasgow alone which will meet the requirements of the Association . ● Though not intimately connected with athletics , the death of Colonel North will be deplored by all good sportamen . The popular Colonel was thoroughly English in his ad miration of real pluck . Most lovers of football will remember the Nitrate King's " display of his characteristic impulse on the occasion of the 1894-5 English Cup Final . Higgins , the Albion centre half . received a nasty injury to his head , but insisted on playing in bandages and playing as brilliantly as any man on the field . The gallant Colonel had eyes only for the equally gallant " Throstle " and at the finish of the match pressed upon the modest Albionite a slight token of esteem and admiration in the shape of a crisp £ 5 note . SOUTH SHIELDS MEMORIAL FOOTBALL CLUB . The annual general meeting of the above club will be held on Tuesday , May 19th . 1896. in Lockhart's Cocos Rooms , at 7.30 p.m. All members and intending members are requested to attend . flas presen RUGAJ Mt.7 16 1896 |
