 Not Favorable to RooscvcIt-Briefs.
 Leaders of the movement for the or ganiZation of a club for the young men and boys of the town arc making a ulnGent effort to get their supDOrtcrs to attend the special town meeting next Friday night when action is to be taken on the suggestion that the Town hall be leased to the society for d gymnasium and social purposes.
 While there is seemingly no special opposition to the plan, the boys are anxious to get favorable action and they are hopeful that there will be a good attendance at the mceting The Business and Improvement association and prominent churchmen are back of the plan of organizing the club and they feel that the voters should per init the boys to use the hall, as it is the only available place that is suit able to their requirements
 Under present conditions the nall is
  ceive of any more deserving purpose to which it could be devoted. The boys of the town are greatly interest ed In the club plans and a defeat of their request for the privilege of using the hall one or two nights a week would be serious setback to the de- VelOpment of the cause
 1t is proposed to have the organiza- ton run along lines similar to the Y. M. c. A. Such a society would be of 1ncalculable benefit to the youth of the town and 1t is generally expected that it's organization will not be interfered with by the voters when the Town hall proposition is considered.
 Local Boys Win.
 Impetus to the efforts of the boys was given Saturday night when the basketball team which is to repre- sent their club took the Hilltops of Bristol into camp, the Plainville quin- tet winning by the score of 26 to 27. The game was played in Bristol and was one of the most interesting con- tests in which the local team has par ticipated.
 The teams lined up as follows; Hilltops Plainville Clarke Sechrest

The new man will succeed Rev. A. A. Houck and will be a resi- dent pastor, making his home in the hodist parsonage on Broad street. MT. Houck will devote his entire time during the coming year to his studies at Wesleyan university.
 hn for in session for a week none of the pastoral appointments have as yet been announced. It is expected that the selections will be made before adjournment tomorrow.
 To Attend Convention.
 F. T. Garter, representative at the last session of the general assembly, and Edwin II. Hills will attend the republican state convention which will open in Hartford tomorrow. The convention will last two days.
 Neither of the representatives of the Plainville section of the c. o. P. are enthusiastic over the idea of nomi- mating Roosevelt as the party'S can ddate for prescdint and should a vote on the matter be taken at the state convention it is expected that they will be found among the forces opposing the third termer. Charles T. TreadWay of Bristol and w. H. Hitchcock of Farmington will he tho delcgatcs-at-larse from the fifth district. Mr. Treadway has been supposed to be strongly opposed to the progress sivc leader and the boom for him is not likely to get any assistance from 1o1n 11n district.
