 Michael Mahon, sexton at St Patrick's church, is confined to his home with the grip. Mir Mahon, al- though suffering from bad cold the past few days. has continued his work. but yesterday was compelled to take to his bed.
 The Brooklyn Athletic club will meet tomorrow and arrangements will be completed for the celebration which is to be held at the club rooms on Friday evening. Although there were some hot discussions as a result of the B. A. c. fellows going to Naug- atuck and getting unmercifully wal lOped at basketball, it is not likely that the subject will be brought up tomorrow, although some of the members are still hot under the col lar because of the team going under the B. A. c. name.
 Pedestrians found it rather hard going in Brooklyn last evening and those who had to ascend the hill to Town Plot were lucky if they did not strike mother earth several times before they reached their destination. One of the prominent residents of Town Plot was out rather late and although the walking in other parts of the city at that time was not as bad as early in the evening. the road to Town Plot was still very slippery. The fellow might not have been home yet if he were not carried by one of the milkmen. A woman with an arm full of bundles took very bad fall near the Bank street bridge and her parcels flew in all directions. AL though she was bruised considerably she was able to continue on her way. A few sprinkled ashes or sand on their walks, but the number was small in comparison with those who did not.
 The weather man had the mem bers of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement society guessing last evening and only few of them ven tured out to attend the semi-monthly meeting, which was called for the Lyceum last evening. The walks in Brooklyn at the time the meeting was due to start were in very slip pery condition and the men who stayed at their homes showed the part of wisdom, provided they cannot keep their equilibrium when the going is bad. As enough members were not present to form quorum no business was transacted. Patrick McNamara, one of the committee ap- pointed to confer with the property owners in the vicinity of the triangu- lar space in front of the Duggan school, where the Improvement com mittee wants a watering trough to be placed, said that none of the resi- dents offered any objection to the proposed trough. The committee will hold its next regular meeting on Friday evening, February 15.
 Although no meeting of the City Amateur league has yet been held and the managers have given very little thought to the make up of their teams, Michael Madden, who will again manage the Brooklyn Athletic club team, is already getting his eye on the men whom we will have out to win the championship again next season. And when Mike gets his optics working he is likely to let his gaze fall upon players that will be working in every game for the B. A. c. team. Mike believes in getting started from the tap of the gong, and that is where the Brooklynites have the better of other hines in the league. Although the players are not superior to those of some of the other -aggregations, they are off as soon as the barrier goes up and they do not stop running until they are under the wire. The B. A. c. boys have not reached the wire first every year since the City Amateur league has been in existence. but 1t won first honors four times and on each occa- sion the team ran like thorough bred. No selling platter for the Brooklynites. Madden and his men expect to make good start again next season and although the team will perhaps be without the services of one or two of it's mainstays of last year, 1t can be depended upon to win a few games at least.
