 Although there were signs and regrets among the "old guardv ill Brooklyn last evening because of the fact that "Gilly" Daly had left town and had gone to Cheshire to reside
 there ill the future, the mourning
 seemed little premature ill, view of the fact that Gilly honored Brooklyn by his presence this morning. Gilbert who is known ill every part of the city and who rarely misses a sporting event was to have gone to Cheshire
 to work on the farm of Mrs Katller-
 inc Kelly who has taken up q resi-
 dence in the suburban town. Eyi-
 dently lie did not go, or else was back
 early this morning. Dafy is always
 conspicuous at baseball, polo or in
 fact any game at which he is present,
 and his keen wit and humorous re-
 marks have often been tue cause of
 much amusement, consequently when

 about to depart everyone, who knew
 him well, wanted to ride on the grief
 cloud. They realized that he would come to town occasionally but 1t
 would be so seldom that his loss
 would be keenly felt It is still a
 question whether Gilbert is to leave
 Brooklyn; he will have a most ditii- cult task on his hands trying to stay
 away.

She Is very bright girl and her work in the ninth grade is praised highly by the teachers and by the principal of the school, Thomas ]. Condon.

Principal Condon is well pleased with what the class has done the past year and expects it to up- hold the reputation of the school which is of high staadard. the grad uates in past years comparing most favorably with these of any other grammer school in the city.
 The city has not yet resumed work on the Clark street extension, and the delay is beginning to worry some of the Brooklynites. There is reason 10 feel little uneasy about this improvement for unless the work is started soon again, there is no chance of the improvement being completed this year. If it is allow ed to drag, the money appropriated for Clark street will be turned into some other channel and the extension for which the prominent men of this section have sought for some time will he allowed to remain unfinished. The members of the Brooklyn Im- society. which seems to be pulling well' with the administration, should take this matter up at once and sec why the delay. John Hem derson jr.. in speaking about the ex- tension this morning and his appeal from the bureau of assessment took occasion to say few words about the stopping of the work. Mir Hen derson declared there can be much work done vet before there will be any need of q delay even though someone intended to get out an in- junction But you can say for me that I am willing, if the city will take the initiative to have three men decide what the city shall give me as Ianages. Any three impartial citi- zens will be agreeable to me and when they look over the ground, [ shall he perfectly willing 10 abide at their decision. l am sorry that the work has been stopped on the exten- sion and can see no reason for it. nope as does everyone else. who has Inc welfare of Brooklyn it heart. to see work resumed there soon again"
