There was a large attendance of members of the Athletic Base-Ball Club at the last quarterly meeting of 1870. held last evening on Eighth street, above Race. The President, James N. Kerns, Esq., was In the chair. After a general discussion upon the operations of the season which has just closed, the President made a statement In which he referred to the present prosperity of the club, saying it never had been in better financial condition. The suc cesses were adverted to at length, and he paid a high compliment to the interest which had ever been manifested by the players In all games In which they had appeared. Over seventy games had been played, and considering the number of first class games In which the nine had participated, Its proportion of victories had not been excelled by any club in the country. Active preparations were being made for the season or 1S71, and he cou'd promise a nine as strong, If not stronger, than had gone through the campaign of 1870. It seems to be gene rally admitted that AlcISrIUe, Malone, Fisler, Reach, Radclifie, and Sensenderfer have been re-engaged. Pratt, the third baseman, has concluded to take no part In base ball during this season, and Bechtel. berry, and Bchafer, the tenth man, have ai yet had no offers. This leaves the positions of third base and right and left fields to be filled. Cuthberthas agreed to sign agreements to take the left Held, and Meyerle is open to be engaged for the third base. There are several applicants for the right field, and negotia tions are now being concluded to secure either King, late catcher of the Chicago, or Treacy, late centre fielder or the same club. The Athletic will begin the season or 1871 nnder very encouraging circumstances, and there Is no donbt that they will go through it with credit to Philadelphia. REROi.rriONS of Rbspeot.
