which is perhaps a general subject O4t
interest, is the disposition Of the appli~
cation of A. A. Brigham FOR licenses
in the State Mutual restaurant. This
matter resulted in another inquiry for
the city solicitor to answer, as followss
Does the condition of the premises
described in an application as adver-
tised if within rs feet of an abutting
real estate owner. who files a written
protest against granting license ON
such premises, prevail, or can tho
board of license commissioners grant
q license to be exercised in portions OF
premises described in application, said
portion being more than rs feet from
the premises adjoining; made so by the
erection of partition erected after th@f
protest is reeeived?"
The answer in this case was, mo"
The board voted however, to allow
Mr. Brigham to file another application
when, if proved to their satisfaction
that a license can be granted him le-
gally, he will doubtless be allowed one
Of the five remaining parchmentss
which is generally understood will be
hung in the State Mutual restaurant
unless something unforeseen occurs
James ]. Gilrein Of 10 Glen street wiz
be allowed a license providing he can
find a location in some neighborhood
where the residents are less inclined to-
think his business Objectionable. The
number Of protests filed by residents
of this portion of the city caused the
commissioners to vote to allow Mr.. Gil4
rein the license provided he moves.
The remaining license of the five not
granted is reserved for the Worcester
Brewing Company when the owners
of that plant shall have become sufff-
GENTLY settled to make application ana
go through the necessary form.
There was considerable surprise ex-
pressed at the result of the commissions
ers ruling The Kirkwood House, which
has been among the favored places for
a few years past, is destined to lose
much of its popularity on account Of a.
severe drought expected about May 1.
The establishment has apparently
been under an unlucky star during the
year past, and little surprise is ex-
pressed by those acquainted with the
facts in the case, at the result.
Ephraim Cote, one of the oldest deal@
ers at Washington square, Is another
who is on the outside with James
Ready & Co, Edward f. Smith and
Alexander +. Dupre to keep company
and act in the capacity Of sympathizs
ers.
The Douglass Club, which was START
ed something less than a year ago by
number of prominent young colored
men, Is also in disfavor, and although
granted q special club license for a
part of last year, win be obliged to go
without refreshments Of an ALCOHOLICS
nature the coming year
OF the applicants for license, perhaps
none have been protested against more
vigorously than the SVea Gille Assoc
citation. Nearly every Swedish temper
ance and church society in the city has
raised It's voice against this organfza-
ton, but the men who go to make up
its membership have evidently proved
to the satisfaction of the commissioners
that they are conducting an institution
deserving Of the privileges vested in a.
club license.
Among the successful new applicants
is Dennis Briden,w who was turned down
last year on his application for an inn
holders license in the building known
as the Clifton, at 80 Shrewsbury street,
This years request was for a common
victualer's license at the old stand, and
1t was granted.
Michael ]. Koran, who served as
first sergeant with the Emmett Guards
during the Cuban campaign, is an
other lucky man. and under the firm
name of Michael J. Koran & Co. serves
as representative Of the boys Of '9S'
in the list of successful applicants.
Michael Doherty of 1876 Prescott
street, who has tried for a grocer's Ii
past, finds at last thar patie@ce and
perseverance wins in the end. Doher-
TVS application was the last to be filed
with the commission before the hour
for such business ended, but he VIII
have the satisfaction Of comforting
some Of the less fortunate brethren, as
he mentally quotes that passage OF
scripture which says that the first
shall be last and the last shall be first
Michael A. Taylor g. Co, another new
firm at 1873 Cambridge street. makes up
the quaftet of joyful ones.
