A manager to guide Altoona's 1910 team will soon be chosen by the members of the Altoona Athletic association, a number of applicants which were presented at the meeting last evening being discussed, but on account of the lack of interest displayed by the members of the association little could be done.

While the indebtedness of the association was neither increased nor decreased during the season the indebtedness of the season of 1908 still remaing on the books of the association, the secretary-treasurer making a report last evening to that effect.

But eight of the thirty-two members of association attenadnce the meeting, hence there tale was little dispositon felt by the faithful ones to go ahead with the work of forming next season's club. Of the six applicants for the position of manager next year, SecretaryTreasurer George L. Taylor was instructed to write to one of them and have him come to this city for an interview. Within the next two or three weeks a leader will be chosen. The minority of members attending last evening pervented the election of officers and the closing of the association's business for the year.

An adjournment was taken until Wednesday evening. Oct. 27, when ft is hoped that sufficient members will be in attendance to elect of-! ficers and complete the year's business. REGENT WEDDINGS FERRY-DUNN. A quiet but pretty wedding wag solemnized this morning, when Miss Alice G.
