committee of the Brooklyn Athletic club last evening.
 The All Waterbury candidates practiced on the Bank street lot last evening notwithstanding the rain. The team will practice regularly from now on as the managers ex- poet 8 hard game with the NOnpariels one week from Sunday.
 It seems that some of the fellows who have been running stores in Brooklyn have had rather hard luck of late, for within the last two months four stores in this section have been attached. Yesterday the grocery and meat store at 8S1 Bank street was closed by Constable Hoppe. The store IS said to be owned by Joseph Kudirka.
 The residents of Brooklyn will undoubtedly regret to hear that John Mitchell of No engine house has been transferred to the Scovlll street building. Jack" was popular in Brooklyn and liked Captain Dunn's house very much. all the more % since 1t was near his home. The change was made in order to make 3 place for Philip Kelly the newly ap- pointed hoseman who lives on Wash ington avenue.
 Ut Is not likely that the declara- tion of Dave" Hill at this late day that bets are of will have any effect upon the Brooklyn fellows who placed their money on the Brooklyn Athletic club. Since Sunday, when the game was won by Brooklyns, some of the fellows who are deeply interested in the welfare of the Hills have made couple of trips to sey- mour to see MT Hill to eldeavOr to have him come out with a statement Although they are all asking him to come out and say something. He knew the morning after the game whether there was anything to be said. He knew there was not, con- sequently he had nothing to say to any of the papers about calling bets oil and has not since that time sent line to any of the papers That should be sufficient.
 The pioneer baseball team, which won the junior championship of the city gave its first annual dance in Odd Fellows hall last evening.

 "A man, who said he was bod carrier, landed at the Naugatuck sta ton this morning and asked Oficer Hayes who is on duty in that section to direct him to where the railroad was doing work in the western part of the city. The officer did as was asked and then the stranger inquired if he thought 1t was safe to go to work there. Certainly" replied the officer, "why wouldn't 1t be-" The man stated that he was working up here a few days ago. but was not a member of the union. He was re- ceiving $1.75 while the union men are paid S2.25. He said that he be- came frightened after a couple of days because he thought he would get a trimming if it was known that he was not a unionite. Consequently he gave up his position and went to New Haven. Yesterday he met his former boss in the Elm city and he agreed to come back to work in this city as the boss stated that he had discharged all the old men. That's the reason why he asked the limb of the law If there was any danger of getting hurt, and when the ofiicer assured him that all union men in Waterbury were law abiding he went his way with a lighter heart.
 The members of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement com mittee met last evening in the lyce- um and laid plans for the carrying out of the original plans of the or ganixation. It Is the intention of the committee to work harder than ever to obtain the Improvements asked for, and the Brooklynites intend to leave no stone unturned until they receive some of the things which they have demanded. The members are also under the impression that the men that have not been attend ing the meetings of late should be dropped and new ones who are in- terested in the work of the commit tee selected. Of the fifteen members chosen at the mass meeting held in January 1906 those present last night were Messrs Henderson. Hum- phreys, Mahon, Tyack. German. Nc Namara, Kelsey and Frederick. Chairman Henderson made a brief address, stating that after the vacation the members should be ready to do large amount of work the coming fall and winter. and accomplish those improvements which the members set out to do. such as the Clark street extension. the Liberty street extension. the via duct across the Naugatuck. and many other minor Improvements. B. R. Kelsey was appointed a committee of one to confer with representatives from other improvement societies in the city for the purpose of approach ing the postal authorities with . view of getting better mail service. Some one wanted 10 know what was the reason that the new letter car
