 The teachers of the Town Plot school, held meeting last evening to make arrangements for the house warming. which Is to be held Ut the school on February 21.
 -Notwithstanding the fact that several of the walks are covered with ice. the small boy of this section was conspicuous to-day, as one would in,- agine to see the number spinning tops that the winter was about over and the blue birds would soon put in an appearance.
 In all probability in a short time the residents of Brooklyn, who live above Third street will be favored with three mails day, instead of the two deliveries, which they now re- ceive. The routes of the carriers for Brooklyn. Wilcox, Maher and Mo Lean will be so altered that 1t will be possible to effect another delivery.
 John Schultz, an employe of the Hellmann Brewing company was badly shaken up last evening as re- suit of being thrown from a sleigh while he was on his way to the brew ry. Schultz was seated upon q bar rel in the body of the sleigh, as teamsters on brewery sleighs often are. Just as the cutter was passing the store of Baumgartner brothers on Bank street, the cutter swerved and upset. Schultz was precipitated to the street and couple of barrels landed on him. They pinned him to the earth in such a manner that he was unable to move. Several persons who witnessed the accident ran oyer and removing the barrels picked the fellow up and carried him into the news store nearby. The man was badly bruised and might be injured internally.

 As a result of meeting held by the Town Plot Improvement society last evening, Hans Rasmussen, Will liam Hall and William Nichols will call upon Mayor Thoms this evening and urge him to hasten the extension of Clarke street. They arc of the Opin- ion that the matter has been dragging to such. an extent that the improve ment might be killed unless some def lnite plans are made to make the pro- posed work a certainty. Hans Ras- mussen thinks that the Town Plot ters who are In favor of the extension make big mistake when they re- mained away from the hearing. held before the bureau of assessment on Thursday evening and allowed those in opposition to make a favorable im- pression upon the members of the bu- reau of assessment. Mir Rasmussen says that every member should be on hand when the matter comes before the board of aldermen. Those who are opposing the extension of Clark street claim that they do not wish to see Washington avenue closed at Clark street, which will have to be done if the last named thoroughfare Is extended. The members who at tended last nights meeting think 1t would be to tho advantage of all horsemen who have any regard for their steeds, as they assert it is a shame to send them up Washington avenue because of the steep grade.
 That the Brooklyn Athletic club seems to grow stronger with age was apparent last evening when the. menn- bers celebrated their eighteenth an- niversary in their rooms on Bank street, where during the past years some fine entertainments have been kiven. L&st night the members and their friends were out in force and the old club rooms were alive with one of the merriest crowds that have been there In several years. As has been the custom, the festivities last evening were started by an address from the president, Luke Burlington. followed by a few remarks by the first president of the organization Stephen O'Brien. The floor was in good condition for dancing and ss a program of eighteen numbers was rendered. the music, heinz of the catchy kind, those who take enjoy ment in whirllng around the floor must have certainly enjoyed 1t. Those who did not care to dance found easy chairs In the pariors of the club. where several of the older members had . few enjoyable hours, swapping stories and relating experiences of the members when the club was in It's in- fancy. Eddie Keefe rendered several songs during the evening. and Daniel Blausfeld contributed with mandolin selections. Some good buck and wing dancing come from the feet of the Ho-
