Owing to sickness, W. Fenton (Toronto) the president pro tem, was absent and Charles Patullo of Brantford took the chair. The first item of business after the adoption of minutes was the passing of by-law 10 of the Football Association’s rules, giving the power to elect the officers for the year by ballot.
Charles Patullo, of Brantford, and Robert May, of Hamilton were nominated for president, the former being elected by 9 votes to 2.
Vice presidents elected were Robert May (Hamilton) and W. Hilton (Toronto).
A very close run was taken for secretary, W. Beeston, 680 Yonge St. Toronto, receiving six votes and S. Farrant, of Hamilton 5.
The treasurer elected by acclamation was W. Taylor, Hamilton.
By reason of the ruling of the C.F.A. this officer will be heavily bonded.
Ask for Charter
The elected officers will go to work at once and place all particulars, correspondence, etc. that took place between the D.F.A. and the C.F.A. before the international Board and request them to issue to the C.F.A. a charter.
The meeting which lasted four hours was certainly a great success and augurs well for the C.F.A.
