o it Fenthusiastic meeting of ueg 1ocated in New York was bald ‘at th ale club, New York city, ‘Wednesday evening, May 17th. Tiae meeting was the result of an informaj leiter sent out by Dr. J. H. Storer suz- gesting a meeting of Norwich men to discuss the advisability of forming a club or association of men locatad n the metropclis who formerly lived i Norwich or who were identified with Norwich or the Free Academy. In- stead of there being fifteen or twanty present, as was anticipated, fifty-two attended the dinner, and dozens of let- ters of regret_were read by those who could nect be present but who thor- oughly fa¥ored the idea. ln Pamts A f>w paint manufacturers raised tha price of prepared paint this spring.
