 This morning on Bank street a novel sight was witnessed by good- ly number of people who happened to be passing. Two sparrows were fighting and they pecked at each other for over an hour until finally one of them became exhausted and died from the effects of the encount- er. with its opponent.
 -On Bank street yesterday after noon a boy who was riding on the fender of car received hard fall when he attempted to get of when spotted by the conductor. He let go quickly and he landed on the pave ment with a thud. He was lucky that he did not have a few bones broken as he struck thesroadbed with a bang.
 The applications for membership for the Bachelor club are numerous and President John Mahaney is hay ing his hands full looking after his mail. It is laughable to see some of the fellows that are looking for admission. A goodfy number of them go calling almost every other night in the week and some of them could tell about few suppers that have taken place recently. But the president who is becoming factor in society is wise to them and they will have to appear several nights his place before they can win his confidence and become members of the society which pretends to have no use for woman, lovely woman. The dues of the organization are not high but every member twice a week is compelled to report at the bean corner and have free lunch at the expense of the president. The req son why the fellow who is now hold ing down the presidential! chair was elected was because he is noted for his goodfellowship, spending his money freely and allowing his friends to touch him when ever they are short. The constitution and by laws of the society will appear later.
 The Brooklyn Improvement com mittee held meeting last evening and as result the members will be present in Odd Fellows hall this evening at the meeting called by the business men for the purpose of dis cussng the proposed Library park for a suitable approach for the new union station. Recently there has not been much said about the pro- posed park and some people imagine that 1t would have been better to let the thing alone until the people acrossSthe bridge had received at least part of the improvements they are seeking. A couple of the mem bers of tbe, committee speaking to the writer this morning admitted that they would be in Odd Fellows hall this evening to-state their opin- ions in regard to the approach to the station. Tt seems strange to us why the business men should advocate this outlay of money at the present when so many are crying for im- provements which are far more ne- cessary than the proposed one. Would 1t not be much better to ex- pend this money on our streets to make them wider and better than they are at present. People in some parts of the city are putting up the cry that the city Is not as economical as it should. We wonder what they will think when they understand what these men are endeayoring to put through. If the station is to be built in the west end that is not any reason why the city should lay out large sum of money on an approach which will be more ornamental than useful. At the meeting this evening the Brooklyn people will have a map on hand to show where they want the station.
