NOT LEGALLY APPOINTED.
Question as to Legality of Appointment of
 Councllmanic Members of Joint CoIn-

Councllmanic Members of Joint CoIn-
 Inittees.
 It now appears that not only is there of the appointment of the aldermanic members of the joint standing commit tees of the court of common council, but that there is also a question about the legality of the appointment of the councilmanic members of those com mittees. The terms of office of the presidents of the two boards and of the members of the joint standing com mittees expired at the end of ithe year 1896, for which they were appointed. Both boards reelected their presidents to hold office until after the city elec- tions this spring The president of the board of aldermen appointed the com mittees to hold office for the interval, but neglected to announce the appoint ments in board meeting and the cor poration counsel has given as his opin- ion that until the committees are so an- nounced they are not legally appoint ed. The councilmen passed resOlu- tion re-electing their president and continuing in office the committees. It is now claimed that since the power of appointing committees rests with the president of the board the councilmanic committees have not been legally ap- pointed. The question will be submit ted to the corporation counsel for an opinion
 President Lambert of the board of af- dermen is now in North Carolina and it js not known when he will return so that no arrangement for special meeting of the aldermen for the com mittees to be announced can be made until after his return. Since the new organization of committees by the councilmen several matters have been referred and it will now be necessary in case the corporation counsel declares the appointment of committees to have been illegal to consider these matters again.

NEW HAVEN ATHLETIC CLUB.


 Not since the Corbett- Fitzsimmons battle of last March has so much inter- est been taken in a boxing contest as is being evinced in the fifteen-round bout between Casper Leon and George Munroe, who meet in 'the arena of the New Haven Athletic club, which takes place Thursday evening, March 3. No doubt a big throng will witness the contest From a scientific point 1t should prove one of the best bouts seen in this state. Both men are marvels at the weight-fast and clever boxers and game to the core. Tickets are sell ing rapidly and a big house is assured.
 The Griffo and Butler go, which pre- cedes the main event, it for fifteen rounds and promises to be beauty. These men have a good reputation. Griffo has met all the top notchers and has a draw to his credit with Jack Downey. Butler is one of those easy going fellows and is fit to meet the best in his class.
 The other contest is also a red-hot one affair and is between Paul Kelly and Benny Leon who go ten rounds at 11S pounds. Both lads are good, clean hitters and will give a good account of themselves. This card is one of the strongest that has ever taken place in this state. All the contestants have good regulations and will try very hard to get decision over each other. Sam Austin is referee

MEETING OF MILK DEALERs.

A meeting of the milk dealers of the city to form an organization through which to regulate the price of milk was called for yesterday afternoon in the Insurance building. Only a few were present and nothing was accom- plished.
 It was intended to place the price of the lacteal fluid at seven cents in winter and six cents in summer. Many of the dealers claim that they will not be bound by any organization and will sell milk at any price they see fit.
 Another object of the meeting was to raise the price of the license from 50 cents to $1.

The rotunda has been restored, as far

before the fire. The front view OF the
rotunda is just as IL was before the fire.
The rear view, since the annex has not

evidently Jefferson's intention when he
built the rotunda TO build a portico at
the north end OF the building and in the
restoration this new portico was added.
A great fight of steps leads down to
tho terrace and then to the road with
a beautiful result. The southerly terrace
of the rotunda has been repeated on the
northerly side and the two terraces have
been connected by open colonnades. This
makes the rear view exceedingly pretty.
In fact the rear view as seen from the
road Is just as striking as the front
view.
