BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

III IulS 6ect1On to-day, opening the ! gutters which have been frozen for
 some time.
 The steam shovel which has
 been at work at Platts Mills the past year has been moved to the Brook
 lyn roundhouse and will proceed to
 cut away the sand bank at this point.
 As he had business engage
 ment in New Britain this morning,
 John Henderson, chairman of the
 Brooklyn Improvement committee, was compelled to leave earlier than
 the rest of the delegation.
 Joseph Corr, the we'll known
 acrobat, who has been practicing at the Brooklyn Athletic club rooms,
 will travel with the Elicit troupe of
 Grand Rapids, Mich, the coming sea- son. He is in fine shape and is ex-
 pected to do some good turns with | the circus by whom he is engaged.
 There will be a meeting of the
 Moral club tomorrow afternoon. Since the mission there has not been
 much interest taken in the organiza- tion, but as the mission closes to-
 morrow it is expected that the club from now until the end of Lent will
 hold couple of meetings each week. At the annual banquet of the Washington club of Ottawa universi- ty, Frank Smith of Brooklyn gave a toast to the president. The organ
 ization is composed of American stu
 dents at the school and yearly they banquet, some excellent addresses being given. Frank Johnson of this
 section is also member of the club. A Protestant, prominent in Brooklyn, in speaking of the mission
 which has been going on the past
 couple of weeks, said he always
 wished he were a Catholic when
 there was mission going on. He
 said that it was amazing the manner
 in which the crowds flocked to the services both at night and morning. He stated that the strength of Cath olicy was something which the mem
 bers of the creed may justly feel proud over.
 Rocco Di Orio. manager of aunsey Vallone, feels disappointed since Young Hardt did not appear last night and bind a match with his protege. True, Hardt stated that he could not arrange match for the present, but Vallone and his man. ager think that he is trying to squeal. Vallone is said to be getting in fine shape. From the time that he knocked out Perry Wilmore and spared few rounds with Champion James J. Corbett, Faunsey has had pugilistic aspirations, hoping some day to have his name placed on the list of heroes of Fistiana. vallone has recently figured in some pretty god goes and his manager thinks he is conner.
 Tomorrow evening at 7:30 the mems mission which has been goihs | at St Patrick's church the past week | will come to a close. The men have | turned out in great numbers during | the week and the missionaries are highly delighted with the success of | the affair. Although the weather | has been cold and the early mass has | been at o'clock, which meant that | the attendants had to rise about | 4:15, still the edifice has been | crowded almost every morning, the l services being attended by almost | 1,500 people. Although almost every | one who has been making the mis- sion has received the sacraments, still confessions will be heard this | evening for those who have not as yet been heard. There will be an | sermon delivered at the last mass tomorrow and in the af- ternoon there will be a meeting of | the Order of St Francis, when 1t is expected that many new members will be received, into the organiza- tion. In the evening the mission will come to a close. The services will consist of the farewell sermon, renewal of baptismal VOWS and the receiving of the papal blessing.
 The Brooklyn delegation was on this morning on the S:32 train for Hartford. There was goodly num- Der in the gathering and the men should make a fine impression on the in regard Ito improve ments in this section. The Brooklyn will speak for the already outlined in ,.,is paper, and those things they nave DCch OppOoth6 thtt VIII ctAA endeavor to block, notwithstanding rumors to the contrary. The plans and wishes of the people and the members of the committee are we'll known and although few may try to spring some new wrinkles still they will not be in accord with the The Brooklyn people are willing to contribute their share for necessities and those undertakings which they think will be of benefit to the city, but they will not stand to pay out their money for luxuries and Improvements which can wait The people of other sections are be- to see that the Brooklyn citi zens knew what they were about when they took it upon themselves to get improvements. and although they were laughed at in the begin l hing they are now being praised. will fight hard to-day and If it does not get things to go it's way it will keep plugging away until t does
