The Secretary reported that he had received no reply from Robert Parker and read a letter from Brown and he was instructed to consent to Brown playing in Scotland, provided he received no remuneration therefor. Young The Secretary read a cable from Young's Solicitors and his reply thereto. That up to the present no subscriptions had been received from the public.
