At the meeting of the new directors of the DSS&A Ry., held in New York City recently, the old officers were without exception re-elected, the only difference will be the appearance of the name of W.C. Van Horne, general manager of the Canadian Pacific as second vice president of the South Shore, a new office. Those who predicted that every thing was to be torn up by the roots and "God Save the Queen" supplant to more aristocratic air of "Yankee Doodle" just because of the transfer of a portion of the South Shore stock to new hands, must feel considerably and extensively left as they read the following list: James McMillan of Detroit, president; Calvin S. Brice of New York, first vice president; W.C. Van Horne of Toronto, second vice president; W.A.C. Ewen of New York, treasurer; L.M. Schwan, scy, of New York; E.W. Allen of Marquette, assistant secretary and treasurer.
The following directors were elected: Sir George Stephen, Bart.; Sir Donald A. Smith, Bart.; W.C. Van Horne, vice president of the Canadain [*Canadian] Pacific; J.W. Sterling or New York; R.J. Cross of Morton, Bliss & Co., T.W. Persill; James McMillan, Detroit; Samuel Thomas; C.S. Brice, John G. Moore, and George I. Seney.
