BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

--C. CuAtllSOu VI SulCu6V ID tu'Atiiis, friends in this section.
 | Mark Chipman has fully recoy-
 cred from his recent illness.
 l --Oliver Blansneld is seriously i'll at
 his home on North Riverside street. l The residents of Brooklyn were
 out bright and early this morning and
 had their walks cleared in good sea
 son.
 -The coming wrestling match be-
 tween Kehoe and Kelly is causing a
 large amount of enthusiasm in Brook lyn and the sports are having many
 hot discussions over the ability of Ke-
 hoe. This district is sure to send q big delegation to Simonsville on tne
 night of the encounter and there is ! likely to be some lively betting. There are some fellows in Brook | lyn doing fine work in regard to ''pinching' chickens and they will
 sooner or later get caught at their ] tricks and receive a good trimming
 from the people whose chicken coops
 they have been raiding. Lafayette street just at present is the field of operations for the browlers and al ! ready they have made off with some | nice birds, having paid midnight vls-
 it to the coops of John Mahaney and Joseph Gabriel.
 Several of the telephones in Brook lyn were rendered useless for some time last evening because of an acci- 1 dent to the wires at the corner of North Riverside and Bank streets. The | employees of the telephone company
 were endeavoring to remove an old l pole but did not have more than one guy rope attached. The pole accurd- ingly got out of control of the labor
 CTS and started to fall It would have landed in the street with q crash, but there were so many wires in its way that it did not finish the journey
 Many wires were broken and sparks flew on all sides, the policemen on duty in this section keeping the chil- dren of the vicinity out of danger. The wOrkmen quickly set to work repair ing the wires and about an hour after the breaks for the most part had been fixed up.
 The bowling team representing
 the Brooklyn Athletic club and the
 MoOnlights met in the Casino alleys
 last evening and it was fine game to watch. The bowlers from Brooklyn
 know little or nothing about the art of sending the balls along the boards and it was really funny to see them endeavOring to make one hundred or more. They were very deficient in ev-
 elything as regards good bowling, but
 when it came to making gutter scores they had their opponents groggy. AL most every ball shat Hogan Clark threw was q strike. YOu know it struck the gutter. The manager of q
 bowling alley should make this player
 pay about dollar for every string as he is liable to do any amount of dam- age to an alley. But Clark was not the only bum player in the bunch.
 Hubert Cunningham. J. Smith and
 Herman kept him company and show ed the spectators, who were many. how poor they were at the game. Of course. so the defeat would not look so bad the Brooklyn fellows sent their
 scores around to the papers much greater than they really were. their score being about 1.4OO instead of L. GOO which appears In the account of the game. "i.
 nr-!Tbere igvas,. one more meeting Of the Improvement society last evening
 and the members reported that things
 were shaping themselves nicely and something would be liable to happen | soon. Hans Rasmussen is in receipt
 of a couple of letters, one of which | came from Colonei Burpee, while the | other is from Manager Sewell of the
 Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co.
 The former states that the colonel has had several interviews with Mir Sew
 ell and President Young and says that
 they are much in favor of giving Town
 Plot local line, but they are aiso
 eager to build the line along Robbins street to AIiddlebury. He further
 states that he will do all he can fo,
 the good of the Town rlot residents
 and will endeavor to have the direc.
 tors of the trolley company see fheir
 way clear to run line up through Ithat section. Mir Sewells letter IS much the same as Colonel Burpec's.
 He says that after looking over tic
 ground he Is convinced that the pro
 posed extension to Highland avenue
 is a good one and will recommend to the directors that the line he built. He | says that although he is much fin favor
 of the line, he still wants to see tho
 other line completed also. He will recommend that the Town Plot line he
 built. the cost amounting 10 about S5s.0O0. Hans says these are L5tliing hut promises to make the committee let up on its work. But they arc wrong if they expect to throw us of the track for we will continue 10 fight" was his concluding remark.
