BOWLER BANQUETED
The Banner Club Gave Him a
 Farewell Dinner.

\, Although it had been many moons since the Hammer club, the greatest knockers of them all, had held a sledge hammer session, they found time to assemble in Hodson's grill room last evening to give q banquet to Michael F. Bowler, local manager of the Western Union Telegraph Co, who will leave in few days for Philadelphia to take up other work for his employers.
 It was typical anvil fest and the members made the sparks fly in showers They had goodly supply of hot ones to send out, in fact, they were overloaded, it had been such a long time since they had met. Will liam, Lucky Jim' Shannahan, that Is what the members call him, as president, presented the sledge ham mer to Captain Fitzpatrick, who was the one that took care of the frying pan during the evening.
 Among those who delivered ham mer solos were Charles Bauby, Ed ward F. Callahan, who is the most unassuming member of the club; Thomas F. Lawlor, who does not care how often he is toasted; Dr c. A. Monagan, J. s. Worsley and J. H. Loughlin, who because of old age are no longer allowed to swing the hammer much; Peter Lawlor and Chris Bannon, two of the clubs we'll known high 'brows; Thomas Kane, J. J. Murphy and w. F. Shannahan, who recited that pathetic poem, The Face on the Barroom Floor MT Bowler also made a few remarks which showed how greatly he appre- ciated the little dinner The menu card contained the following:
 70 friend, o best of friends, thy ab-
 sence more than the impending
 night darkens the landscape
 o'er."
 Mike, the clock circuit is broken. !"

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Samuel w. Chapman and Otis Northrop. appraisers on the estate of the. late Sherman W. Chipman, will make their report in few days.
 Daniel J. Mahaney Sr., is i'll at his home on Bank street. He was forced to take to his bed Wednesday and his condition has not improved since.
 -Fonsey Vallone iS in good com dition for his bout with Jimmy Kel- ly of Portchester ih Danbury on Tuesday evening. vhllone has not done much fighting bf late but is said to have improved considerably since his last appearance in public. He is eager to get another match with Tom Darling by whom he was defeated in six rounds at the Simons- vile A. c. about year ago.
 The Rev Clay D. Ghunn. the new pastor of the Third Congrega- tional church, will remove his be- longings in few days from his resi- dence in Roxbury where he has been located. This evening he will hold services at the Third chnrch. The Rev U. de Hart GulDck is at present in New York and will ptobably give up the ministry for time and de- vote his time to the real estate business. He has not IS yet sold his house on Crescent street.
 Mayor Thoms will deliver an address before the members of the Brooklyn Improvement society this evening and all others xho care to attend the meeting which will he held in the Lyceum. He viii be pre- pared to answer any reasonable question which the members wish to ask him and it is understood has notified the society to that effect. In all probability there will be some very leading questions asked and the gathering promises to be the most interesting that the society has had in months.
 Since the story was circulated that John Henderson. IT,. through his attorney. \. R. Bronson. was likely to ge, ont an injunction on the Clark street extension anless the city was more liberal in awarding him damages. Mr Henderson has been kept busy discussing the mat ter. Several prominent men. SO It is said. have called upon him in re- gard to the injunction and although he feels as though he Is Eot beina treated justly. he as much as prom ised that he would not hold up ths work. If the Clark street exfen- sion is stopped for any length pf time. there Is no telling when 1t will be again started and the improve ment for which The Bru0alyn tan payers have been striving Tor yearr will be given the 4go-by indefinitely. Perhaps the wfsukle pin 5e settled this evening sfler The meeting of the improvement sfDci4y.

Miss Stanley has always been popular in this city and her playing has been such that it was easily discernaDle that she had much talent. She has improved remarkably during her ab- sence from this city and last even ing her renditions were such an un- qualified success that she was ap- plauded again and again. During the evening she was the recipient .ot many beautiful bouquets. In addition to being an artist, Miss Stanley has a striking personality.
