 The Brooklyn fans are beginning to look for bets for next Sundays game as they are of the opinion that Madden's men will trim the boys from the Hill. It will be one red hot game and should attract large crowd as it may decide the championship. If the B. A c. team Is defeated their chances for the rag will be small, while victory will put so much con fidence in the players they will have little difficulty defeating the North Ends the following Sunday.
 The power station on Bank street is in full blast because of the station at Bulls bridge being partly out of commission. There is very little water in the Housatonic river at present and the officials of the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting com pany are praying that rain and plen- ty of 1t will soon come. A week ago tonight all the lights in the city were out for a time because of the failure of the station to work, and the power house on Bank street had to be brought into use. Since that time. 1t has been furnishing much of the light for the city and is also supplying some of the power for the trolley cars.
 There seems to be a question as to when the next meeting of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improve ment committee is scheduled, Chair man John Henderson, who was not present at the gathering last Thurs day was of the opinion that the mem- bers would not meet for two weeks. but 1t seems there was q vote passed at last weeks session to hold meet ing tomorrow night. The matter will be undoubtedly fixed up to-day and if meeting Is held tomorrow night a large attendance will in all prOba- bility be on hand. It is some time since n rousing meeting was held and now that the summer Is over the members should get in harness once more, and push these projects for which they were working last winter.
 -Of all the mischievous pranks played by the small boys in this sec tion. the one yesterday which some urchins prepetrated on a peddler, while he was in house on South Riverside street, is the extreme. In his vehicle were several bags of rags. But the peddler. enterprizing as all peddlers are, was still going into houses looking for rags. No sooner did crowd of young fellows getstheir eyes on him then they decided to play what they termed joke on him. Jumping into the wagon they ignlted the rags and in few minutes they were blazing away. A crowd col lected. but no one made any pretense at extinguishing the fire and everyone thought it was a huge joke. hut the petldler, when he made his exit from the house. could not perceive why 1t was cOmical and became almost hys- terical. when De saw his profits go- ing up in smoke. He threw all the burning rags into the street in order to save his wagon.
