 The Brooklyns and Pastimes will come together at o'clock tomorrow afternoon and 1t will be the game of the day. If the west enders win, 1t will place them on top. while a de- feat for Manager Madden's team will send 1t into second place. The Brook lynites have been winning steadily and see no reason why they will not add another victory to their list to- morrow.
 Starting out with the determi- nation to obtain local trolley line for Town plot, the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement committee after hard fight has overcome all obstacles and to-day can assure it. self that within a year the sound of the trolley will be heard on the hill. It is victory which the Brooklynites may we'll feel proud of. as may also all other residents of this city It was early in the winter that the resi- dents of Brooklyn met in the lyceum. then and there declared that they would not rest until the c. R. and L. company laid its rails on Town plot. At first the committee was regarded as joke by taxpayers in other parts of the city, but when all trolley lines were held up. chiefly because of the efforts of the organization on this side. the ones who had been giving Henderson and his followers the laugh began to realize that 1t was not such farce as they believed. Although the Brooklynites were turned down every time, the board of works and the board of aldermen had long grown tired of seeing them at their meetings and the people in general had become weary reading about the affairs of the Brooklyn committed: still the members plugged along with hopes that they would get what they were looking for. Indeed, the mem bers of the committee had jour- neyed to city hall so much that they had been nicknamed Coxey's army. But such things as these do not feaze the men on this side, and despite the rumors that they would never get line on Town Plot they kept making arrangements for a line to be built in that section. Does anyone blame the members of the committee for feeling SO jubilant to-day? Why should not Attorney Lyncn, who was the means of bringing the company and the mayor together the last time. wear a broad smile? Has not Hans Rasmussen right to feel happy when he thinks of the sheckels that will pour into his pockets from the sale of his land which will be en- hanced 200 per cent by the line in that section? But who was the hap piest man in Brooklyn to-day? He could be seen riding on the car this morning, being no other than John Henderson who has worked harder for Brooklyn than any other man since the late Father Duggan, All on this side should feel happy to think that the committee has obtained SO much for Brooklyn and should feel doubly so, when they stop to consider what the fight for line on Town Plot has given other parts of the city. Does anyone imagine that the city would ever get so much out of the trolley company if the Brooklyn com- mittee had not started the trolley agitation some months ago. Decided ly not. Let the good work continue and there is no telling where 1t will stop.
