Committee Of Masters.
THE GRAND OFFICERS' CLUB , June 3 . —The assembly was too numerous for comfort . Anxiety was to be observed among the prudent—a flushing assurance among more—and a spirit of recklessness amongst a few . The Horse Guards' balloting list was ordered to be adopted , to mark the independence of the purple and gold . THE MASTERS AND PAST MASTERS' CLUB , June 3 Thoughtfulness , with deep regret that bad counsel had prevailed to a certain extentwas felt
, by all , yet a firm and unshaken reliance on the integrity of a good cause prevented despondency ; and the moment , though fraught with anxiety , was unaccompanied by fear . The appeals of the Brethren were to be heard , and the voice of a high morality , it was expected , was about to pass judgment on appeals of unusual import .
