 The Rev Father Noonan of Fall River who has been visiting the Lud- dy family of Charles street. the past week has returned home.
 The baseball games scheduled between the Quakers and Rosebuds yesterday was postponed until next Sunday because of the weather.
 If John E. Sewell gets only the votes of those Lithuanians wearing his but tons, you can rest assured that Mayor Thoms will receive about 99 per cent of the votes of that nation ality in this section.
 There was large attendance at the fair of the Brooklyn Athletic club which opened Saturday in their rooms on Bank street. The enter tainment was enjoyable, but the dancing and the 'sbarkers" were what made those present stay until the end As the fair was well pat ronized on a very stormy night, the B. A. c. members think that with good weather the hall will be packed every night this week.
 The weather had no terrors for the football enthusiasts of this section yesterday. The Quakers and the James street boys came together on Corcoran's lots, the former winning as they leeased by the score of 36 to 5. The Quakers are after the scalps of the Brownies of this city and the Orioles of Bridgeport. The Rosebud Juniors and the Quaker Juniors also played yesterday, the latter winning by the score of 31 to 6.
 It is said that James E. Har- rington will within short time open a lunch cart on South Leonard street. It will be the same as the White House" cart which he con- ducted for years near the green. Brooklyn has been in need of a lunch room, so the young men of this section say, for some time. It was thought that Matthew Dunphy would start in the lunch business this fall, but he is not likely to do so should Harrington's cart material ize.
 The entertainment which was to be given in Lithuanian hall on Green street last evening was post poned because those under whose auspices the event was to be held, were informed by the police that it could not be given. Consequently it was postponed until this evening. Max Glene, proprietor of pool room on Bank street had made arrange ments to put on what the police thought was to be vaudeville show, although Glene declares it was to be more in the nature of a concert, At any rate about 100 persons gathered around last evening but the doors were not opened, the audience being informed that the event would be postponed until tonight.
 It begins to look more and more every day that the $500 which Ed ward Foley is said to have ready to place on John E. Sewell to win the election against Mayor William B, Thoms is only a ''pipe". Several men of this section called upon MT Foley in an effort to have him place bet but were unable to get cent unless they gave odds. Frank Sheri- dan, who conducts cafe on Bank street, went to Foley and wished to make a bet of $100, but the Sewell man would not do so unless be was given odds. A man by the name of Sherlock also wanted to place lit- tie wager of S100 that Thoms would be returned the winner but Foley again "ducked." He asked for odds of to 4. It is a we'll known fact that Foley was told last week where he could place his entire $500, but evidently there are number Of con- ditions under which he wishes to wager his money, if he has it. It is evident that if he has hanker- ing to take chances with the $500 which he is supposed to have, he can very easily place it, and it is not necessary for him to go out of Brooklyn to do so. The feeling for Thoms is becoming stronger in this section every day and if he does not receive a record breaking vote in this section, it will be strange. The fourth and even the third will in all probability poll more democratic votes than they ever boiled before. From what is heard on the streets there will be little or no cutting done that is by the democrats-the third ward republicans may use the knife to some extent. The sentiment for Thoms and the democratic ad. ministration is mighty strong in Brooklyn. It would not be sur. prising to see a life long republican of Brooklyn, who has the interests Of the city at heart. come out for Thoms before election day. And his remarks will have some effect upon the community as he is not a man | that turns with the wind.
