To Form a Y. M. C. A.

A number of persons interested in forming a branch of the Young Men's Christian Association conducted a meeting in the chapel of the Reformed church, Union avenue, Sunday afternoon as a means of furthering the establishment of the institution. Remarks were made by the Rev. Dr. Poulson, Rev. Mr. Daniels, Charles A. Ryder and Nathaniel Croswell. A large number of signatures were affixed to a paper in which the signers agreed to become members of the Y. M. C. A.
