 -Muzzle your dog or you will have to get some other kind of pet. as after tonight all canines seen wander :. ing around the streets will be shot or put to death in some terrible manner by the limbs of the law. The CUTS with which other parts of the city are over run are rather scarce in Brooklyn. or their owners keep them where they belong, as very few dogs are seen run ming around this section. The dog question is liable to cause plenty of trouble before the matter is settled and the animals themselves will have something to say about the treatment they shall receive. Although the CUTS do not use their tongues much they have tendency to keep their teeth busy.
 The handball tournament for which the Brooklyn Athletic club mem- . tbefs have been preparing for the past few weeks, will start tonight, and the contests promise to be very interest ing.

Cronan and I. Kaloska: J. Leary and l.. Darlington vs f. Burns and w Kaloska: T. Reese and ]. Lawson vs T. Bockwitch and W. Hickey; l.. Pegi mont and F. Esmonds vs <. Montab bault and ]. Smith.
 In connection with the outing oi |. the board of aldermen on Saturday af ternoon to view the route of the pro posed trolley line along Robbins street 1, many people who are wise to the jok, II played by a city official are having ; q good laugh. After the aldermen had looked after the Robbins stree property and discussed the grade ther, was plenty of time left to make othel visits and Alderman Malone made 1; move that the party go over and view
 Bank street near the end of the trol ley line. The aldermen from this sec
 tion state that the grade of Banl street. which is 12 per cent one, l
 no sleeper than that of Robbins street ], The trolley company has always main
 tained that it would he almost impOssi
 ble to send car up that hill. although
 some people claim that there are othe
 reasons why a line is not built there The aldermen jumped into the car
 riages and started for Bank street oye
 Highland avenue. They proceeded a
 fair clip. but when they came | turn down into Bank street a maj
 who was in the first carriage, told tn Q driver to proceed along and come u d South Main street. as the scenery alon r. the route to Platts Mills was very al s iractive. So the carriages rolled alons r much time was consumed. and whe
 the lawmakers were coming up Sout
 Main street it was almost dark, an
 as there was little or no time left
 was decided to let the trip to Ban |. street % over until some future dats Although 1t was only joke. still th
 aldermen from the third could not SC
 it in that light and for a time refuse to smile. Next time they go on
 tour they will conduct their bushes
 first and driye to enjoy the beauties c
 nature later.
