 At the meeting of the Brooklyn

 This morning a horse owned by
 Carroll, the bottler, ran away oR Bank street, but did not cause much damage, only spilling two cases of soft stuff out of the wagon.
 At the Brooklyn Athletic club yes terday in the hand ball games c. Smith and Carroll defeated Burlington and Leary, while Burns and W. Klos- Ri trounced Cronan and J. Kloski -Yesterday morning Perry Morris had his men in Brooklyn cleaning the walks and before church time. the ma jority of the crossings were free from mud which the Brooklyn people have been accustomed to wade through for the past few years. Near the Lyceum on Porter street, which crosses Charles street, there are only two crosswalks, where there should be four. The su- perintendent had the two walks cleaned, but to anyone who was not aware of the conditions 1t seemed as if there were two more to clean. As Perry was driving by one of the well known residents of Brooklyn hollowed, Why don't you get to work and clean those crosswalks there?" The ex-se- lectman took the matter good natured- ly and smiled, while the fellow who was on the lookout for the welfare of pedestrians was made wise to the facts and felt somewhat embarrassed be- cause of the blunder he had made.
 There was large and enthusiastic meeting of the people of St Patrick's yesterday afternoon for the purpose of making arrangements for the coming whist and fOrty-five tournaments. There were fully 150 present and all seemed to be only too willing to act on the various committees to help the affair. It was decided to hold the par ties on the 18th and 18th of April, the Thursday and Friday following Easter Monday. The first night will be for the whist lovers. while the admirers of forty-fixe will have their innings the following evening. Although the whole affair will be in the hands of the young ladies, the men will really take care of the forty-fiye tournament, as they know much more about the game. On next Sunday afternoon the committees will meet again. The men will come together in the Lyceum at 3:3O, while the women will assemble in the basement of the church at the same hour.
 At a meeting of the St Thomas Cadet association yesterday after last mass it was voted to give smoker on Saturday evening, February 8. The following committee was appointed to make arrangements for the event: Dennis Kelly, Michael McKenna, John Cunningham, Michael Mahon and John Temple. This. evening the executive committee of the organization will meet in the Lyceum for the purpose of electing base ball manager. This year the Cadets are going to try to put out fine nine to represent the club on the diamond and they expect to make as good record as the team two years ago which won the champion ship in the Greater Waterbury league. Last season the team started of fairly well and promised. to make good, but the league disbanded after few games. The boys have hobby maroon uniforms which were purchased last year. The manager and captain will make strong effort to land the Ca dets once more in the City Amateur league. A few years ago the club was represented in this organization, but not much interest was taken in the team. Enthusiasm seems to have been revived among the members and most successful season is anticipated.
