A Mechanics Institute gathering of the Tennis Club debated the officers' leadership after a Warren letter questioned trust. Rules, elections, and a no confidence vote followed, leading to new officer appointments including Goodsir as president and Baird as treasurer. The railway court work proceeded amid the turmoil, with committee members scrutinized for legality and conduct.
