 Some time ago an order was placed through one of the sporting goods houses in Juneau for a full outfit of basketball suits for the team which is to represent the Arctic Brother hood. The suits hayc arrived. When the box was opened each and every one present thought they were color blind. The mall which had arrived ou the same boat was brought from the postodice and the mystery was ex- plained.
 The sporting goods house, which filled the order for the suits, gave the information that the purple ana line dye supply of the United States was entirely exhausted and 1t would be impossible to furnish purple suits. Blue was substituted and the Broth erhood team will be forced to play in that color instead of in their club colors, purple.

ANNUAL MEETING OF
 FREE ACADEMY CORPORATION
Francis J. Leavens Re-eIected Presi-
 dent for Another Year.

The annual meeting of the Norwich Free Academy Corporation was held in the Peck Library at 4 o'clock on Monday afte1Soon. The following trustees whose terms expired at this meeting were reelected for the next three years: Arthur H. Brewer, George g. Palmer and Oliver L. Johnson. The following officers were reelected: President, Francis J. Leavens; sec retary and treasurer, Costello Lippitt. The name of Guy B. Dolbeare was added to the list of corporators. The full list of trustees follows: Costello Lippitt, John c. Averill. Francis J. Lcavens, Charles Bard, Grosvenor Ely, Gardiner CNaene. Arthur H. Brewer, George s. Palmer and Oliver L. John son. At present there are eos stu dents enrolled at the Academy which is twice the number that attended the school ten years ago. The large en- roIlment is rather a burden of ex- pense and there is feeling among the trustees that another year it will be necessary for a. slight advance in tut- tion fees as it costs more than double the present tuition charged to main tain the school.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-10-17

At a fifteen minute caucus in the town hall on Monday evening the democrats of the town nominated Will liam J. Fitzgerald and Earl B. Ma theWson as represent natives to the general assembly. The only other matter to come before the caucus was the nomination of justices of the peace, sixteen in number. The caucus had a fair sized representation of the demo- cratic voters of the town and the bus mess was very tremendously conduct ed.
 Enroll c. Li11ibridge, chairman of the democratic town committee, call ed the caucus to order just as the town clock finished striking eight and called for nominations for a chairman. Michael J. Curran was nominated and unanimously chosen. He took the chair and read the call for the caucus. Chairman Curran then called for nom- inationsAfor a clerk. Thomas M. Shields was nominated but declined the nom ination. Then Joseph T. Tanning placed in nomination Henry Gebrath who was chosen.
 Chairman Curran announced that the first business was the choice of floor to make the first nomination. The duty we have before us at this meet ing is very important duty. It is to make the selection of those whom we would have represent us in the legis- Iature. The town of Norwich is a very important unit in the govern ment of Connecticut. It is a large town, of historical interest, and it's business is on the increase. In the legislature we should have men of in- tenigence, men of character. men who

can understand and work for the in- treest of our population.
 We should have men of such intelli- gence and foresight that we can de- pend on them to look ahead and see what will benefit the town. We should have for our representatives those who can be fair.
 I am going to propose to you the name of one who has shown his f1t- ness in the matter of sizing up a sit uation and who is able to determine what is fair and just to all interests concerned. I nominate as the first of our candidates for representative Will liam J. Fitzgerald. The nomination was seconded and MT. Fitzgerald was unanimously chosen.
 For the second candidate Thomas M. Shields, Esq. presented the name of Earl E. MathewSon who was also chosen unanimously.
 The nominations for justices of the peace was then taken up. MT. Fan ming moved the nomination of the fol- lowing fifteen as candidates: E. T Burke, J. J. Corkery. J. T. Cunning ham, J. J. Desmond, R. M. Douglass J. T. Tanning, w. F. Hill. c. V. James Raymond, T. A. Robinson, w. H Shields, T. M. Shields. and William Welden, and also moved that the town committee be empowered to provide the sixteenth candidate fl they see fit The nominations were seconded anG carried and the town committee was empowered to provide the sixteenth candidate if they see fit.
