 Mrs Richard Bolles and daugh- ter of Bridgeport have returned after spending few days with LeRoy Bolles and family of this section. This evening the Rosebud Ath- letic club will give a dance In Con cor1ia hall It is thought that many buds and blossoms will be present. On Friday evening several mem. bers of the n. w. q. whist club will. go on sleigh ride to Thomaston. where they will join a party coming from Torrington.
 The city department had a force of men at work on Bank street to-day loading the snowion carts and hauling it to the open lot near the Bank | street bridge. The trolley company had couple of cars taking the snow 1 from the vicinity of the switch ex- | | fa1o CfQfiAN to the Bank street bridge.
 Edward McManus, the contractor was thrown from his sleigh in front of Walkers drug store yesterday af- ternoon and the Washington Hill man l landed in a drift of snow. Ed" went in head first and it was with diffi- culty that he was able to swim out He cussed the snow, the weather. the streets of Brooklyn and a lot of other things which had no bearing upon the accident.
 Tommy Connolly, who has been training at the rooms of the Brooklyn l Athletic club, did not meet Charles Seiger at Danbury last evening. He met one, Smith, of New York and Tommy came out second best, al- though he was not put to sleep. Many thought 1t strange that Connolly was going to meet Seiger, because the lat l ter does not make a practice of go ing on in preliminaries.
 Although the residents of this section fully realize that the Consoli- | dated road or the Connecticut Rail- way s& Lighting company. it makes | very little difference just at present, had an arduous task endeavoring to open its lines yesterday, they are of the opinion that the service on this side of the bridge should be better They think that they were given the go by yesterday as not a car was sent past Leonard street until this morning. They cannot see what ex cuse the company has as the distance from Leonard street to the end of the line is short and the grade IS mol very steep 30 that the line could have been cleared without very large amount of work They point to the fact that before o'clock the entire Waterville line was free of the beau tiful and cars ran all afternoon or this route They simply refer to this line as it is as hard if not the hard est to operate in the city The Brook lynites think that someone else should carry the fruit basket for a while al the residents of this section of thu city are tired of receiving the raw end of everything Perhaps there Il some plausible excuse for not opening the Bank street line before this morn ing. but if there Is Brooklyn would like to hear it Ut seems as though the basket ball season is going to end withou team organizing In Brooklyn, 0 course several teams have played il this section during the past couple O months but the writer has in mint a fast quintet when he speaks of team. There is no apparent reasol why of these fellows who know al about the game and are really goot athletes, proficient in a.l details o the sport cannot meet and practice three or four nights week at tn rooms of the Brooklyn Athletic club the organization will most certainl. allow players with ability and cham pionship ambition the use of its gym Get together fellows listen to word of encouragement about. having th meyer die" spirit. resolve to form fast five and play series of game with the Naugatuckians. the Ores cents of this city or New Jersey, tn Winstedites or that reputable tean from Middletown. One collection o players took chance and drew
 blank, but they are none the wors for it now. Others players proitin by their experience would perhap turn out a fairly good team and rt deem the name of Brooklyn in tn basketball world. They cannot d any harm by trying as it is hard |
