 -Father Lafiin went to Bridgeport yesterday to cast his ballot.
 Miss Stella Brown of Poplar avenue. who has been visiting rela- tives in Cleveland, O.. the past few months, has returned home.
 John Draher and William Geddes went on hunting expedition to Mid dlebury yesterday and came back last evening with a bagful of game. Both are experts with the rife and think there is no better way of en- toying oneself than tramping through the woods in the quest of game.
 One of the enthusiastic admirers of Hearst in this section is a we'll known saloon keeper. and last even- ing he became convinced that Hearst was going to carry the state. He had the courage of his convictions and of fered $25 to $2 that Hearst would be elected. The money was snapped up so quickly by one who was listen- ing to him that the fellow thought that he might be on the wrong track. He undoubtedly realizes this morning that he bet the wrong way.
 The, fourth ward did not poll its usually large vote yesterday, and 1t was the democrats who seemed to stay at home. The election caused very little excitement in Broolyn and the usual amount of enthusiasm for the democratic ticket was not shown in this section. The democrats in Brooklyn as we'll as those in other parts of the city seem to be a trifle discontented because of the manner in which some of the members of their party are acting and they make no effort to conceal their thoughts.
 Hans Rasmussen was one of the voters in this section of the city who stayed away from the polls, as he did not think 1t worth while to go down to cast his ballot. not having liking for either the republican or demo- cratic candidates. Mir Rasmussen in no unspeakable terms flayed both candidates for congressman-at-larg saying that both Lilley and Donahue were unfit to represent this state at Washington. Mir Rasmussen stated that he does not take the statements of Charley Colley seriously and is not at all bothered by the recent utter ances of MT Colley.
 Fred Lallier and Robert Eaters will leave Monday for the west, in tending to go to Denver to remain there year or more. The health of Mir Lallier has not been of the best for some time and the doctors have advised him to make a change. Mir Eaters will take the trip with Lal- Her just for pleasure and to see how the western country compares with the eastern section. Lallier is we'll known ball player in the amateur ranks. For several years he has played in the City league and is a fair inf1elder. The past season he played with the Merrimacs. The many friends of both the Brooklyn young men will regret to hear that they are to leave this section.
 About forty Italians employed at times by the O'Brien Construction Go and the Frank Ley concern were fed at the Exchange hotel yesterday, and it is claimed that their dinners were bought by the republican party. Of course 1t is not known really whether they voted the republican ticket. but 1t is more than likely that they cast their ballots for the g. o. D. candidates when their dinners were paid for by one of the members of the republican party. It was a case of more money on the republican side than on the democratic. and although 1t may not have been wholly responsi- ble for the republican victory 1t went long way toward the same.
