&A Az1A1hAs A Plan of Work Laid Out-A Good
 outlook for That Cup-Other Notes
 on the Campus.
 A meeting of the candidates for the ath- letic team for the coming season was held in the gymnasium last night. The meet ing was addressed by President Wolcott and Captain Williams, and the character of the work for the year was explained. About forty men were present and the outlook is very promising. Heretofore the men have worked in two divisions, the long distance men running several miles day beside severe exercise in the gymna- sium, while the short distance men took a short, brisk walk and practiced starting for half an hour. This year the whole number of candidates will be under the personal supervision of Captain Williams in running and the work in the gymna- sium.
 The long distance men will probably take long run once 8 week with Lloyd '91 and tho sprinters will practice starting twice week in the cage.
 The first week in February the indoor contests in the gymnasium in the high jump and shot putting will begin. A handicap pole ~vaulting contest will be added. The management will make an effort to put a strong tug-of-war. team in the field. :. This event was omitted last year as it met with little response from the college men. A number of old men gre back and among the new men several candidates gave good promise last fall on the track at the field. Altogether the management feel quite pleased at the outlook.
 All the upper departments of the uni versity opened yesterday with nearly all the members present.

THAT NO-LICENsE VOTE.

Judge Robinson Decides in Favor of
 the Commissioners.
 Judge Robinson has sustained the de- murrer brought by the Fairfield county commissioners in the case brought against them by John Donavan of Shelton to show why they shouldn't grant him liquor i- cense. Donavan claimed that the no-license vote in Shelton at the last October election was null and void because the ballots were placed in the same envelope with the town ticket. The defendants held that the in- tent of the law had been compiled with and that as there was majority for no li- cense the commissioners could not grant licenses in the town of Huntington. Judge Robinson sustains this demurrer. The ap- peal will probably be taken to the supreme court.
