Today's posting transcribes another brief newspaper account of the January 1, 1883 annual meeting of the Pelham Manor Protective Club that appeared in the January 6, 1883 issue of the New Rochelle Pioneer.

 "Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Pelham Manor Protective Club, was held at the residence of Mr. George H. Reynolds New Year's day.  A large number of gentlemen residing at the Manor were present, besides many invited guests.  Among those from New Rochelle, were Col. Richard Lathers, Mr. E. D. Griggs and Charles H. Roosevelt; also, Superintendent William H. Stevenson, of the New Haven Railroad, and Mr. Silas Witherbee, of New York were present.  After business matters relating to the Club were finished, a bountiful repast by the generous host was fully enjoyed.  The Protective Club is a live organization, accomplishing the purpose for which it was organized, and doing much to promote good order in the Manor, and helping to make it one of the most desirable country resorts adjoining New York city."
