 There will be a meeting this evening of the committee which is making arrangements for the festival to be given in honor of the silver anniversary of the laying of the corner stone of St Patrick's church.

 At a meeting of the Brooklyn Athletic club yesterday the newly elected officers were installed. The members extended a vote of thanks to all, especially the business men, who aided them in the celebration over the winning of the City Amateur pennant.
 Joe Cronin, who for several years has conducted a grocery store on Bank street, intends, so 1t Is ru- mored, to retire from the grocery business and enter the shoe world. Although 1t is not likely that he will make the change immediately, 1t is likely to occur within few months. If Joe should enter the shoe field in all probability he will make good.
 -Clothesline thieves are operat- ing with vengeance in Brooklyn, and the fellowswho are doing the grab act with the wearing apparel made a haul on Saturday evening. Two lines on North Riverside street were stripped and another on Summit street, where a family lost. among other articles, three valuable quilts. It Is hard to get line on thieves of this kind, consequently when any of them are caught they should be given a severe punishment as an example to others.
 That the Town Plot people in tend to take the law in their own hands and arrest all persons whom they find destroying their property on the hill was made plain yesterday, when Hans Rasmussen caught and placed in the hands of the police two men who were making way with Rasmussen's fruit. For some time the residents of Town Plot have been annoyed by fruit thieves, milk thieves and chicken thieves. Things have arrived at such point on the hill that 1t is anything but the part of wisdom to leave articles that are stealable out of ones sight.
 Brooklyn as we'll as all other sections of the city was affected last evening by the accident at Bulls Bridge which played havoc with the trolley schedule and caused the city to be in darkness last evening. The accident of yesterday proves more conclusively that city, the size of Waterbury, should not depend upon one plant for It's light. A couple of prominent Brooklyn men talked this morning with the writer. over the situation, Alderman T. B. Walker, al- though he admits that 1t would be a good thing for the city to have its own lighting system, says that ac- cidents are liable to happen at all times. "The company, that is the c. R. & l.. cannot be censured so much for yesterdays break" he stated. oStiu the people seem to think thay the Connecticut Railway & Lighting company is at fault and are not backward in so declaring.
 
 Andy Daily of Boston is training at the Brooklyn Athletic club. getting in condition for fights which he ex- poets to arrange in the near future. He goes through the regular training stunts of bag punching. boxing, jumping rope, and takes jog along the roads every day. Other fighters are expected to arrive in this city in a few days to train at the B. A. O. rooms also. It is some time since any of the pugs have been seen at the rooms of the Brooklyn Athletic club, but the reason for this undoubtedly is because there are no fights conduct ed in this city. In the days when the art of self-defense was popular in this city, almost every fighter that landed in town steered for Brooklyn. where they put the finishing touches on their work. Sports from all sections of the city came over to see them work out. and some clever exhibi- tions were to be seen. The last time that Jim Corbett was here he went a few rounds with Fonsey Malone, who at that time was just "coming out" Fonsey was willing enough. but the way he received them on the chin and every other part of his anatomy was amusing. Fonsey has improved since that time.
