A QUIET DAY IN BROOKLYN

NO DISPLAYS OF FIREWORKS ShLUTES, OR PARADEs
Although elaborate preparations for celebrating.
independence Day in Brooklyn had been made. the
oiy was comparatively quiet yesterday The streets
were nearly deserted and the boys had everything
to themselves. There was no pubic celebration of
the day. All sights and sounds of jubilation were
dispensed with, and only in some of the oniefer
streets were flags hing out. Many visited the pa rs
III and about the city to gain relief from the opprcs
siYe heat and to hear the music given in the lareer
ones most of them were caught in the heavy shower
that came suddenly about the middle Of the after
noon. n fine display of fireworks had been ARRANGED
but the permits for their discharge were revoked
and no decorations appeared upon the public bui)d
ings. Superintendent Campbell issued the following
order to the police captains yesterday morning:
Under the circumstance deem il expedisnt tha. ti
customary acts o. public ccc1r Of tho Fourfll nf
July be suspended. You Will therefore Instruct vn,Ir
commands to prevent, as far possible all denoytra
music and all display. A wa"
In cousld ration OF the order Just issued the deto
mens or officers to the places where fireworks were To- he
exhibited are hereby cOunteruanded.
Battery was TO fire a salute Of 100 guns at
he foot Of Court-st. and also at Stagg-st in tre
Eastern District, and variOns paroles had been
arranged; but owing to this order and the public
sympathy with its spirit Brooklyn, except for the
cracking OF hTecrackers and torpcdocs, had the air
OF sunday quiet. " wa
