 Brooklyn is having all kinds Of excitement these days. It is certain ly contributing it's share of news to the papers with the doings of the Improvement committee, murders and fires. Who says that this section is not lively?
 There will be meeting of the Improvement committee this cven- ing. This will be the first session since the meeting at Hartford last Saturday and it will probably he most interesting. According to the rumors there will be some hot argu- ments in the Lyceum tonight. What is the city going to do with the old Protector house on Bank street which has been for long time and is still unoccupied?. At the present time 1t is only used for 3 storehouse, all the old apparatus of the city being chased over there when its usefulness is over. The old hook and ladder, which looks as an eient as the Rock of Gibraltar strikes ones. eye as he enters the building. It is an odd looking affair and one would hardly realize that 1t ever was in use in the city. TEe building is very good one and the city has received some good offers for it, but 1t appears that 1t is hold ing out for more or does not care to dispose of the property. It is un- derstood that $12,O00 was offered for the house, but no sale could he brought about. With such an excel lent building not being used, many ask why does not the city spend a little money on it and make a home for the firemen and policemen. EX. cellent quarters could be fixed III for the city employees, who could visit the place and enjoy themselves
 whenever they were off duty. There are many things for which 1t could be used and it is strange that some
 thing has not been done in regard to
 the building. It has been out of use for three years. When Chief Snage was asked to-day what the depart ment intended to do with the build ing, he replied that he was as much in the dark as anyone else.
 In short time in all probability
 several of the base ball teams will get out to begin to get in shape fol 1 the season. The weather is getting
 warm, and although the grounds are trifle heavy because of the rain and the thawing, still the candidates can do some light practicing which will get the stiffness out of their limbs
 Besides the Brooklyn Athletic club which will be the representative or gafization of this side, there will Dc several other hines that will give a good account of themselves during the summer. A goodly number ol the players who were members oi Lthe crack B. A. c. aggregation wher | it won the pennant twice in success sion, will be back in the ranks this year and will again endeavor to re' gain the laurels which were lost
 The Windjammers, the Quakers, tht Pioneers, the St Thomas Cadets, wht
 will be almost as fast as the Brook lyn team, are some of the smaller
 hines that will make teams of thcil class in other parts of the city hustle It looks as though the Brooklyn players will be handicapped thil
 year by the lack of grounds. as the! will have to find new field in al
 probability, as 1t is more than ikel.
 that the Rye lots cannot be used
 since a sewer is being constructed
 across the meadows. There are sev eral good fields up on Town Plot
 but the players may not care to Jour
 ney up on the hill.
 Medicine buying Is different from
