 -The handball tournament which
 has been going on at the Brooklyn Athletic club rooms the past few months will close in a short time. Al
 though there was much enthusiasm in the contests at first recently interest has been tagging because perhaps the leaders, Edmonds and Picquignot, de feated everything before them and
 have not lost game.

 Although the Brooklyn Improve ment committee Is not saying much, it is doing considerable and the people need have no fear that the members of the same are becoming inactive. The new condition of affairs which exist because of the action of the business men last evening in voting to send around petition to have tax payers sign their names in order to persuade the mayor and the city boards to recede from the position talk en and come to a, compromise with the trolley company. The Brooklyn people certainly agree with Mayor Thoms and will support him in any action which he takes to prevent this new scheme from being pushed hlOuShs A1O" SoA tAC 1O,OOO PCOpiC of this section allow such plan to be passed when it is the very opposite of what they have been advocating. It is through the mayor and the board of aldermen that the Brooklyn people expect to get their local line. Their hope lies in those conditions imposed upon the Robbins street line and if the conditions should not be altered it would mean the finish of the Town Plot route and there would be nothing doing in the trolley for the residents of upper Brooklyn for four or five more years. If the business men want that trolley to Quassapaug why are they not willing to look for a line for Brooklyn? Almost every person in the city wants a line to Quassapaug but all are of the opinion that before that line is built the company should keep to it's promise to do something for tllis side. The quickest way to get the conditions altered is for the business men to get the local line for Brooklyn and Town Plot. It is only natural for the business men to advocate line to Quassapaug but they should not take sides as Brooklyn taxpayers think they have done. It is not at all prob able that the mayor will withdraw from his guns or will the board of aldermen. Brooklyn with it's popula- tion and it's voters is too big place to be despised and moreover in the opinion of the city officials the trolley company has not been asked to do anything more than it should. The above is the opinion of the Brooklyn people and they are confident that the Robbins street conditions will not be revised.
