BROOKL YN ITEMS,

The National Race Course, alias the Brick Yard,
bas succumbed 10 the hardness of the times, and
fallen into the hands Of the Sheriff OF Queen County
II is soon to be put under the hammer, but ia xhst
shane we do not hear. The proprietors Oh Wess
Flushing lots who intend TO build in the spring,
should be stirring u provide themselves with brick.
We aie not prone to rejoice over the msioHuhes .,
others or to lock upon calamtles with an uuduimeu
eve But in this case, we doubt whether steam
engine of forty horse power could draw out tear
from under eylid. There was so much I'M
matched meaDness in foisting this Rsce Course upon
the people Of NewtowD and without affordiDg them
an opportunty 10 say "boo against il, for it, we
cannot think that there is any Who will dsmur ut
