 which occurred in that town yester-
 day.
 "A game supper was to be held
 at the home of one of the young men
 of this section tonight but as there
 is a rumor around that the game has
 heen stolen it is not likely to take
 place. If it does not materialize
 another hunt will probably be the re-
 suit.
 During some periods of the year
 in this section one would be reminded
 of well known dives in New York as
 he gaZed upon some of the foreign wo-
 men of Brooklyn entering the front
 doors of cafes to partake of the "oil'
 of joy. It is bad enough to see them
 sneaking in through a side door but
 when eight or ten of them in one
 crowd walk boldly in through the
 front door it is about time to call
 halt.
 Dan Donovan, the popular clerk
 at D. ]. McGrath's meat market, is on a hunting expedition and yesterday
 sent to the market an immense coon.
 Mir McGrath was so proud of the catch that he hung it in a conspicuous place outside of his door and drew the at tention of all his friends to it. Never theless he kept his eye on the prize as he heard that some jealous minded persons were hatching up a plot to steal the coon but last night it was still in his possession.
 Nothing more has yet been heard of "Bilf' Dwyer's Eagles and Michael Madden's B. A. c. team. Which man. ager is afraid and why don't they meet and arrange series of games: is the cry of the followers of both. Dwyer is thinking of signing Ted Sullivan as Hubert Cunningham is in poor condition and Patsy Clark says that Hubie was the cause of their de- feat at the last game. It is about time someone would do something to get the game going once more. The betting is even money. Take your pick.
 James Luddy who formerly work ed in D. J. Mahaney's cafe on Bank street and later with Frank Sheridan in a similar position, has bought out Mathew J. Smiths place in the east ern section of the city. The sheriff elect has for the past couple of years conducted a cafe in the place formerly occupied by William Byrnes. AS Mir Smith will enter his new duties about the first of January he thought he would go out of business and accord ingly sold his place to Mir Luddy. The latter is an enterprising young man and should make a success of the un- dertaking.
 All the forty-five players are get ting in trim for the tournament book ed for the 24th of this month. This evening the men and women of the parish win meet for the purpose of arrangements and forming It promises to be big affair and already the members Of the Brooklyn Athletic club are getting a team together. Although it is said that Dan" O'Brien and the Brooklyn team were badly trounced at the St Francis's games. yet they stOutly deny it and state that they held their own. Let all these so,called sharps come over on the twenty-fourth and see what 'we-wlll do then" is their chal- lenge
 -Mayor-elect William k. Thoms could make himself popular with the residents if when making up his list of appointments he would place the name of John Henderson on the board of public works. Mir Hen lerson is a republican but he would be gladly welcomed as public work by both democrats and He is a man that has the good of Brooklyn at heart, having been a resident and taxpayer for sey- eral years. Brooklyn needs a man on l some of the boards that will stand up | md fight for his district. It needs q | man that has some influence, who will | get the improvements the people ask for and if he does not get them al | esst make a big try. Mir Henderson | las for n long time. and will no doubt | for fine remainder of his life. reside in Brooklyn. He has large interests If stake and he knows that something las to be done to pull this section out if the rut it is falling into. He is sood. honest, straightforward man with plenty of push and perseverance md would prove a valuable member if the board mentioned. He could do for the improvement of the ,treets. which have been in a wretch .d condition under both republican md democratic regimes. and which at he present time are about as bad as .ver. The petitions. applications. etc, if the Brooklyn taxpayers have in the majority of cases been placed on the co to freeze and partly because of the ack of interest on the part of the ,eSidents. It is now up to them to .ea what can be done toward the ,Iacing of q suitable man in place where he may do some good and 1t is he wish of many that Mayor Thoms will give Mir Henderson berth.
