Problem Of The Clubs.
Some recent bappenings in the law courts, and alsowhere have seriously fluttered some of the best London clubs, says a. Home journal. The fact that certain individuals were mentioned in court as belonging to this or that club was naturally, form of pub licity. not relished by the mem- bors of these clubs. There hasi boen a great deal of consultation on the subject of how far the powers of committees, exist for the extinction of a membership if it is desired. In one notablo Caso the person concerned has senti in his resignation. The powers of "committees, however, are in most casos not "very clear in this essential, and it is likely that steps will be taken to strengthen those powers.
The idea was put forward some years ago that plebiscito should be taken, each year as to who was the most unpopular: momber of the club, and that the committee should then call upon the winner of the plebiscito to rosign and so make an opening for waiting dosirable membara. There are cases in several clube whare a member has successfully defied all the moves of the com- mittoo to producó bis resignation.
Unpopularity, of course, may come from many sources-morals, manners, associates, or laxity in Victorian cardroom etiquotto. writors on club llfo used to "insist that the English club was a court. of honour, taking the place of the Continental institutions which regulated duels. Englishmen could not call one another out, but they could appeal to the committee of their club, London clubland is rather a sounding board, and it is pretty well known throughout that rogion when a man has boon blackballed-which may happen to anyone for a bundred roadens — or, Horiously, when a man has boon askod to resign. The consequences, of the latter are far-reaching.
