 A brush fire in lower Brooklyn
 last evening looked the real thing, so
 still alarm was sent to the No 3's and the steamer from that housa quickly extinguished the blaze. The Brooklyn Athletic clubs base ball team made good start yes- ferday afternoon, and if the players
 keep up such playing they will have
 no difficulty in landing the rag.
 Conquered, but not in an ig.
 nominious manner, Dave Sheehy's
 tug-of-war team left Waterville Sat- urday evening, after being trimmed at St Michaeps bazaar by their dead
 ly rivals, D. J. Mahaney's team of
 Brooklyn. The tug-of-war contest
 was so strenuous that the rope broke when Mahaney's men had about an inch and a quarter of rope to the good. Mahaney and Davy have been getting their teams in trim for some time and each man was confi- dent of winning before the struggle. The war was on for about five min- utes when one of the rooters from the hill said: Why, Davy, your team will have walkover with those striplings," as the Brooklyn team looked small in comparison with it's opponents. But the BrookIynites were ont to win, and they did so after hard pull. The winning team is composed of Richard Condon, Will liam Mahaney, Edward Cavanaugh is scheduled between the teams for next Thursday night in Waterville. Mahaney's team is open to met any other aggregation in the city.
 The annual banquet of the Moral club was held Saturday even- ing at the Lyceum, about thirty members partaking of the sumptuous spread prepared in an excellent man. ner by Chef Michael Mahon. Will liam Dunphy, president of the club. acted as toastmaster, filling the chair in creditable manner. After Dun- phy, ,Mahon, ,McGuinness and Stein had cleared the tables, the dishes being left to be washed later, the speech making started. Dunphy set the ball with a brief address in which he stated what the organiza- ton intended to do the coming year. He was followed by Michael c. Mahon, the Nestor of Brooklyn, who in silvery tones gave an excellent eulogy on the death of the movement for the Town Plot Trolley. He also went into details to state why Brook lyn has been, is now and always will be, in. his estimation, the best sec tion of Waterbury. The members do not as yet know whether he was real ly joking or whether the serious look he wore was in Keeping with his feel | ings. Nevertheless when he had end- ed he was given a rousing cheer and spoken of as the coming leader of the democratic party in the alder manic body. William McGuinness had a toast, "The Moral Club" and 1t was we'll received. Other speakers were Attorney Frank Guilfoile, James R. Lawlor and Andrew Stein. During the evening several vocal and selections were rem iered. and before the party disband- ed it was voted to organize again next year, when the number of ap- plications for membership will be large, considering the success of the organization this year.
