¶1(dissenting). The contract was one for services in which the consideration necessary to support the contract is not the performance of the services but the agreement *336to so perform. I think there was an acceptance of tbe written contract by tbe plaintiffs, bence an agreement upon tbeir part to perform. Tbe opinion of tbe court seems to me to» be in conflict witb elementary principles of tbe law of contracts, and to confound failure to perform witb lack of consideration.
