The votecarne after Friar Charles Paltzersprang' :1 surprise by reading a letterfrom Gordon Ericson, Bernard Bell,Ear! Bowlby, Herbert Keller andKarl Keefer. asking for a reconsid­eration of the plays, on the groundthat the conditions of the contest hadnot been lived up to by the winningplc!ywrights.The dissenting playwrights criti­cised the length of time it took thecommittee to decide, declared themusic of the winning play inferior,and said that the make-up of the en­tire committee' was unfortunate asonly two men on it ever had actualcomic opera for 1909. The vot;Chairman Hansen, of the playcommittee, said that in justice to all• Ia new commrttee should be appoint-'cd, and the plays reconsidered.Motion LostFriar Dewitt B. Lightner declaredhimself as unequivocally opposed toany re-opening of the contest,' andsaid the Friars ought to drop fra­ternity politics when they came tot he meetings. He said he did notwant to see politics in the Black­frir.rs, and believed that for the bestinterests of the Friars, the clubshould stand by the judges. FriarVictor \Vest said the authors merelywished to be assured that the condi­ticns of the play contest had beenlived lip to, and then moved that thedecision be ratified, which 'was done.The Blackfriars decided also to:�rn the management of the play overto a .cornmittec of five, to be chosenhy the nbl-ort. Abbott Shaw appoint­ed Friars Appel, Sturgeon and Trim­hie to investigate the possibilities of acity production. '�, )Vol. VI J. No. 86.
