The Patres Seperfores Of the Metropolis convened
yesterday afternoon, but the warm weather or some
attraction In other quarters deferred several from

racteristic "mugs," among others Hber-
nian Tony Weller-fat, fully forty but by
no means fair-a dumpy looking chap with
full moon face, cropped side whiskers, who
grasps the seat back in front Of him and takes in at
ears eyes and mouth all the good work and glowing
elOquence of the "Papas."
large number OF papers were introduced and laid
mittees. The only documents OF importance were,
petition from property owners Fifty-siXth street
against the paving OF that street with Ncols0n, and
communication from the Comptroller notifying the
gences would be found to be deficient The title OF
this latter paper read and referred to the
Finance Committee. At the close OF the meeting the
reporters were allowed the paper to make copies
