 AT FOREST PARK.

Band concerts were given Saturday and Sunday afternoon at Forest park, and they were listened to by large and appreciative crowds of people. The park was formally opened Saturday, but yesterday afternoon there was a record breaking attendance. The band concert and the shore dinners, with the many other attractions, enter tained the crowds from an early hour in the morning until a. late hour in the evening. The opening vaudeville per- formance at the park for the season will be given this afternoon at { o'clock. The program is an exception ally attractive one and will greatly in7 terest all who see it. The performance of Prof Burke's dogs is one of the best now before the public. These dogs, twenty five in number, exhibit de- gree of intelligence that is simply mar vicious. The Shamrocks, a trio of the funniest people living, will present an Irish comedy sketch that is warranted to drive away the blues in one minute. Baby Abbott, the child imitatOr, and Collins and North, comedians and dancers, with Miss Anna Lloyd, vocal ist. will add much to the excellence of the program. During the week there will be additional features for the en- tertainment of visitors, concerts and dancing being among the list. The shore dinners are served at all times and parties of five to 300 cared for on short notice.

MIR CARNEGIE's GIFTS.
Cooper Union to- Feel Invigorating h.
 iuence of His Wealth.

fuence of His Wealth.
 l Andrew Carnegie, who was elected a
 trustee of Cooper Union last October,
 $ credited with plan for the exten
 Sion of the work begun by the late Peter Cooper, which will involve the
 expenditure of a large sum of money,
 says the New York Herald. Cooper
 inion, it is said by one in authority, will be eremodeled to make room for the Improvements contemplated by MT. whose purpose is to duplicate the present. endowment fund, amount
 ng to $2,o54,o15, without attracting at tention to himself. z
 MT. Carnegie has already given S300,- 900 as a special endowment to Cooper
 1nion, and it is said he would have
 raised this gift to s, 100000 but for lear that his munifcence would over shadow that of the founder of the in- ;titution, Peter Cooper. MT. Carnegie's plan, while not fully matured, has been made known approximately to the trustees of Cooper union. It was ainted at by ex-Mayor Abram s. Hew- 1t in his speech at the commencement eAS1EisTS dleW haJS dSo.e AflS SiSdIliSA from an aqthorita tive source that Mr. Garnegie's purpose is to add to the Cooper union endowment, as quietlyas possible, and very likely in install
 ments, a sum equal to the total of the gifts already received. This means an
 addition of at least $2,oo0,0oo to the
 general fund.
 Before leaving for England MT. Carnegie discussed with MT. Hewitt
 and the other trustees of Cooper union
 plans for broadening the scope of the
 institution's usefulness. It was then
 decided to do away with the stores on
 the ground floor of the building, on the
 Third avenue side, and to utilize this space by the establishment of an in
 3ustrial museum. A nucleus for such
 museum was presented to the union
 several years, ago, and J. Pierpont Nor gan has since contributed four collec- lions of textile fabrics and decorative models, valued in allAat $1o0 900, which make possible the creation of muse- um second to none in the world.

POLICE COURT DoINGS
Wedding Guests Had an Argument
 Which was Settled in Court.

Joseph Mcdonald, who has been a month out of jail, went down again to- day to work out two sentences of $10 and costs and S5 and costs for intoxi- cation and refusing to move on when requested by Officer Linehan Saturday evening. The arrest took place on Union street.
 Frank Rose and Tony Varello were guests at wedding yesterday on Jack son street. The men got into an argu- ment. Rose was arrested and this morning Varello testified that Rose wanted'to get into his house to kill him with q knife. Rose said he was mere ly fooling and that of all the friends he has Varello is the best. The court, however, did not believe this story and fined him $5 and costs for being drunk and $10 and costs for breach of the peace.
 A case against Michael Keefe and Jeremiah Shea for theft was continued to tomorrow morning.

A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE.
When the Sun is Not Son Explained
 to a Joker.


 A few days ago when the sun pre- sented itself for a few hours one day after an absence of few weeks, in which rain ruled supreme, the follow ing pun was in great demand: A per- son would be greeted with the query, s.Are you going to attend the christen- ingY' The unwary person would inn mediately ask what christening. It would be his turn to settle for the drinks when his interrogatOr would reply: waterbury had little sun this morning. A certain Armenian in town was one of the innumerable vic tims of this joke. So he thought he. would have revenge by joking some one of his friends. While accompanied by the person who had played 1t on him he met another friend of his. q rather aged woman. Are you going to attend the christening?" were the first words of the Armenian. What christening?'' was of course the an- swer of the woman. Tn high glee and with feelings of delight and happiness the practical joker resnonded:@ "Why. Waterbury had little boy to-day. To say the woman was surprised, amazed, etc, is speaking mildly. She is said to have remarked that the joker must have been feeling unwell, as she knew of no one by the name of Wa terbury. When the woman departed. the Armenian was told that he had not worked the joke properly, that boy could not be used for sun. But the Ar menian failed to see that there was any difference between son and boy. A boy is a son, and a son is boy, were his comments,

 Feet Had False Bottom to Trunk

When Hassen Ali, a merchant of Cai- TO, Egypt, who stands eight feet two inches in his stockings, arrived in Jer- sey City from Naples yesterday, on the Italian ship North America, there was stir at the pier. He was detain- ed in the customs office because 2,000 cigarettes were found in false bottom of his trunk.

His father, Ali said, is eight feet seven inches tall. He also has sister, but he said she was not very tall.

 About every man, boy and child and many lady attended the ball game at Riverside park yesterday after noon between the Brooklyn Athletic club and the St Thomas Cadets One of the disagreeable features of the game is the crowding onto the diamond of the spectators in the last inning OF two when the contest is at its most ex- citing stage. Thus they interfere with the work of the players at a time when every hit and error counts considerably. The crowds should learn to keep back.
 There was fierce and exciting dog fight in q barn on the Wolcott road early Sunday morning between dog owned by an Italian on Canal street and dog owned by resident of this district The fight was witnessed by about seventy five sports. The admis- sion price was fifty cents for each per- son. The battle which was for $50 side was refereed by a well known bar tender in Brooklyn. As said before the battle was fierce and hard fought and it was only after an hour and twenty minutes of the hardest fighting that the referee declared the Brooklyn dog the winner. Considerable money chang ed hands on the result.

 Their merits are apparent.
 Patterns are so beautiful. Colorings so carefully and artistical- ly blended
