BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

l Ut is said that Andrew Frederick | and Timothy Kirby have high hopes for the Improvement ticket in the
 third and cannot see where it will be
 defeated.
 Miss Hannah Donovan and Mrs
 John Sullivan of New Haven, who
 have been the guests of Mir and Mrs
 James Lonergan of John street nave
 returned to their homes.
 As enough managers to consti-
 tute quorum did not put in an ap-
 pearance last evening, there was no
 meeting of the Junior Amateur league.
 The game, therefore, between the
 Pioneers and Quakers will take place
 as scheduled at 12:3O Sunday on Co.,
 coran's lots.
 The republicans are doing all ill
 their power to abate the feeling in
 the third caused by the primaries.
 Realizing that the Loetfier crowd is
 sharpening its weapons preparing to
 cut the heart out of one of the can
 didates for the aldermanic chamber,
 they know that something must be
 done. Consequently at the meeting of
 the city convention last evening
 William Loeffier was placed on the
 board of relief. Yesterday it is un- derstood committee called upon Mir Loeffier and asked him if he would accept the nomination. He told them that he did not care whether he re- ceived it or not. He would not com- init himself but it is understood that the German voters in the Brooklyn and Town Plot district will not be appeased in such manner.
 It looks as though there would be three tickets in the third ward demo- cratic primaries. A number of young men in this section got together last evening and are making plans to form what is known as the Young Mems Democratic club of the third ward. The younger element feel confident that it will have a good chance of winning out at the primaries in view of the fight between the regulars who will have as nominees Richard Her man, Frank ,Guilfoile and Hosea B. Jillson, and the Improvement ticket, on which are Ambrose Wells, Hugh and Joseph Stokes. No other names were agreed upon last even ing for candidates. It is the inten- tion of those in back of the ticket to have an alderman from Brooklyn, one from the west end and one from the Bunker Hill district. A canvass will be made within the next few days to see how the situation is in the third ward outside of Brooklyn. One of ] the names mentioned for alderman l is Joseph A. Smith, the Brooklyn druggist. Smith will undoubtedly pull Ill the Lithuanian votes should he be | nominated and would prove a strong and is widely known both | n this and other parts of the city. In case three men that are considered | strong enough cannot be found, the | new faction will favor a ticket made | ID of Frank Guilfoile, Joseph Smith md Hosea Jilson for alderman, Those present at the gathering ast evening were Matthew Dunphy, Patrick Clark, David and Patrick jronan, sons of the late Commission 1T Cronan of the charity board, 'rank Leary, Charles Smith Charles 3ockwitch, John Schlosser, Rocco ali )rio and Michael Madden. There are number of popular young men in he above named number. Di Orio will undoubtedly get almost all the italians in line. with whom he is trong. The men behind the scheme or a third ticket say they are in to tay and declare they have nothing 0 lose by being defeated They will meet again on Monday plight.
