DISCUSSING THE MANAGEMENT. Before taking a recess until 2 o'clock Mr. W. H. Clagett made a brief statement in regard tathe Payment of the vendue bonds of the association, He sald that with the present vaiuation of the roperty the stock Was Now worth almost par, «nd \e urged that in the cholce of a new board’men should be elected who would give close attention to the improvement of the fuanclal condition of the association. ‘Mr, Geo. M. Oyster, jr., sald that he had not al- lowed his name to be used on the ticket for the ‘board of directors because he had been the subject of a great deal of unpleasant and unjust eriticisin. He had done his duty, and {t seems that 1t had not deen appreciated. Mr. McGuire, the president, then made a brief but vigorous speech, defending the management of the association as economical, and claiming that all repairs made on the grounds and builaings were necessary. The Jockey Club, he said, were earning all the revenue that the association now Tecetved, and unless these improvements were made the club would not continue to occupy these grounds, In such case the association would simply be destroying the hen that laid the golden egg. He said that no one could polnt to a intsap- propriated dollar, and the complaints and criti- cisms that were ‘heard came from persons who kuew nothing of the facts, THANKS TO PRESIDENT M'GUIRE. Upon the conclusion of the president's remarks, which, he said, had been called forth by what had been said, Mr. Edwards moved that a vote of thanks be extended to the president for his effici- ent services. Mr. McGuire said that he had simply done his duty, and he did not think that such action Was necessary. The motion was, however, put by Mr. Clageti, and it was unanimously adopted. A recess was then taken untll 2 o'clock. Mr.P. H. Christian declined to have nls name used on the ticket for board of directors. sstarathan eal THE BODY OF CAPT. CLIFT. found by His Late Comrades on a Dis- wecting Table, THE DECEASED DID NOT DISCLOSE HIS IDENTITY AT PROVIDENCE HOSPITAL, AND HIS REMAINS WERE INTERRED IN POTTER'S FIELD-WHAT GRAND ARMY MEN SAY. ‘The efforts made by the friends of the late Capt. Amos Clift to recover his boay have been crowned with success, On Saturday the remains were found in the dissecting room of the Georgetown Medical College. Capt. Clift, as has been stated In Tue Stax, dled at Providence Hospital, Decem- ber 24, and was burried in Potter's Field. The body was removed from the grave and brought to the college for dissecting purposes. As soon as the college authorities learned the identity of the body ‘they at once consented to transfer it to the friends of the deceased man. ‘The body had been partially dissected, but it was restored as far as possible by the college authorities, and to-morrow it will be Durted at Arlington. ‘The counell of administra- Uon of the Grand Army meets this evening, when it will be decided whether the interment shall be accompanted by the usual Grand Army services or shall be without ceremony. A committee aj Pointed by Post No. 5 and several members of the Tellet committee have been active in thetr efforts to probe the mystery of Capt. Clift’s death and burial. Major Burke, of the committee, says that they have been greatly aided by Lieut, Aiiss, of f ees street precinct, who is a member of Post: WHAT IS STATED AT PROVIDENCE HOSPITAL. ‘The committee upon inquiry at Providence Hos- pital, where Capt.

He was buried in the Potter's Field, a3 are others in similar cireumstances, WHAT MAJOR BURKE SAYS. Major Burke told a Star reporter this morning ‘that now they had discovered the body of their comrade, and it would be given a Christian burial, they were golng to make an effort to have some eviis corrected which they had unearthed in the course of thelr investigation, In the frst place, they thought that the abuse of the Potter's Field had grown to such flagrant proportions that some means should be adopted to give at least the ap- pearance of decency Lo the interment of the unfor- Tunates who were buried there, The dead of we Providence Hospital were W eo there without adopting any means of tinding out thy wishes of their nds, or if there were friends.
