 A large number of young men and boys met in the parlors of the Congre- gational church yesterday at o'clock, to consider the proposition to form an athletic club in town which shall be broad in it's scope, and to which any well behaved and respect able young man or boy may belong MT. Justice Wakenan unfolded the plan at present developed, giving an outline of what he thought would be efficient and requisite. A number of the young men took part in the con- ference, and some of them seemed to think that the Oneida Athletic club, which already exists, might be a stum- bling block to the formation of new one. But after listening to all of the arguments for and against a goodly number expressed their willingness to assist in the formation of a new club on broader lines, and one which will meet with the approval and support of the townspeople. Probably another meeting will be held, when an organ ization may be effected.
