 summer vacation.
 l William Derwin, the well known
 ball player, is playing with the Port land team of the Maine league. His
 many friends will be pleased to hear that he is playing good game. In q couple of games recently he had five | and three hits respectively. That's doing something.
 Ever since the sub-postal station was established at Walkers pharmacy, Druggist Walker and his assistant, | William Darby, have been somewhat annoyed by customers asking if they
 can write letters or postal cars in the | store. They wish the public to under stand that that is one of the purposes for which it was established.
 1.-The striking machinists continue l to leave town. This afternoon Ray mond Vosburgh of 109 James street left for Cleveland, O., where he has 1 secured employment. Mir Vosburg IS af fpil ,1x x;,,; 4t,x.
 Holmes, Booth & Haydens concern. His family will continue to reside on James street. It is too bad that Wa terbury is losing so many of its fine machinists
 MT and Mrs William Mcclure, who have just returned from their wedding tour, were rendered a. reception by their many friends at their new home, 1 l5l Charles street, last night. The festivities continued until late hour It was delightful gathering. Dane ing was feature of the evening. Many were the fond hopes and desires expressed that MT and Mrs McClure's marriage life would prove long and happy one.
 -The members of the Brooklyn Ath- lie club, their friends and large num- 1 Der of non-partisans who attended the game between the Brooklyn Athletic club and the St Thomas Cadets last l Sunday at Riverside park, take excep- l ton to the account of the game as pub l ished in one of the local papers yester- day. The B. A. c. team was as much annoyed and their play was hindered as much as was the Cadets. The crowd surged onto the field as much in the first part of the ninth as they did in the latter half Crolsan did not l walk in front of the ball in the ninth: but on the other hand. 1t is claimed that Kelly of the Cadets was sent to the bat in the ninth inning with spe- cia1 instructions to have himself hit with the ball, and he was. Again, as to the rank decision by the umpire l against the Cadets, there was another one just as rank against the B. A.. O., when Captain Ray of the Cadets was declared safe on second in one of fhe innings He was clearly out, as he himself stated to the B. A. C's second basenan. Yet it was the concensus of opinion by those present that the game could not be better umpired, and as proof of this it need but be stated that there were few kicks. The Cadets are hard losers and so are those who bet on them last Sunday. The Cadets were beaten not by the crowd not by the umpire, but because the B. A. 70. played better ball. The above is no idle chatter of the Brooklyn briefs man, but was told to him to-day by reliable authority
 This morning John B. Walsh of | South Brooklyn entered complaint to Prosecuting Attorney Durant against crowd of boys who make practice of l playing ball on. the street opposite where he has three or four lots plant ed. Now: and then the ball is knocked Into the lots and the boys rush after 1t in twos and threes and once In while the two hines and all the spectators give chase with the result that Mir 1 Walsh's crops are being damaged con- | siderably and he wants to know what he can do to protect his property. He demonstrated with the boys, he said, but they called him vile names and l told him to go lowell never mind where -but instead of taking their ad- vice he decided td call upon the prose
 cutting attorney. He gave him the names of our of the ring leaders. The prosecutor was about to Issue warrants for their arrest, but after thinking the matter over he decided to give them an other chance, but assured Mir Walsh k JnaI 1T Iuey Suould dHuOy uiIH Atly more to report and lie would have them brought into court. Isn't it wonder that parents don't take some notice of what their children are doing and see that they do not make them selves nuisance in the neighborhoods where they belong. No man wants to be bothered by unruly boys and curi- ously enough those whose duty 1t is to look after them take little or no notice
 of such things until somebody's chil- dren come around their own places and then a protest goes up right off. The
 man who thinks it fine fun to hear the boys raising Cain with other people is just the kind of chap that would not allow anybody's child to injure his property. What a grand world this would be if every man would do unto others as he would have others do un- to him! No citizen cares to be the first to take his neighbours children into
 court and start them off with q police court record, but there is limit to
 what man can bear in this line and
 MT Walsh declares that he has reached it. The boys should look out and not | .r. .I-.. <~x~
