Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-02-28
BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Clearing sale, boys 45c fur band
 caps 25c at Upson, Singleton & Co.'S. A goodly number of the Cadets
 was present last evening at the ini- tiation and smoker given in the ly- ceum. After business meeting of
 short duration the new members were initiated, the degree team doing very
 good work. The arrangement com-
 mittee had prepared an excellent en- tertainment for the smoker which followed. It was fin all probability the last smoker at the Lyceum until after lent.
 Something is coming It may come tonight. or it may be day
 later. This morning William Ma
 nancy, Patrick Clark, Michael Con- way and Patrick Cronin left on fishing expedition to Quassapaug. They expect to make big catch and if the live ones that nibble the bait are biting we'll they will stay couple days. Some one who saw them starting wanted to know if they were going to stay a couple of weeks for they took with them couple oi boilers full of eatables.
 The young ladies of St Joseph's parish gave a very enjoyable leap year dance last evening at the new hall on Green street. The hall was neatly decorated for the occasion with colored globes and bunting. There were seventeen dance numbers three of which were moonlight waltzes. Music was furnished by the Leap Year orchestra consisting of five pieces. The young ladies played very well and were compelled to respond to several encores. During the even- ing refreshments were served.
 William Dwyer who was drafted by Toledo, O., at the close of last season will in all probability play with Franklin of the Interstate league the coming season. Dwyer was with Franklin at the close of the season but he had been playing such a good article of ball that he was drafted by Toledo. As they have a first sacker now who looks more promising than Dwyer and as they are we'll supplied with backstops, in all probability Dwyer will not be sent for, but will most likely report at Franklin.
 -Fonsey Vallone is looking for a match. The past year Vallone has done no fighting in Waterbury but nevertheless he says he is in good condition. At present he weighs 15S pounds but declares when he enters the ring he will tip the beam at 150. He has been out of Waterbury for about three months during which time he had a couple of private matches. He wants to go on with Jeff Doherty of New Haven or Billy Glover of Boston and thinks that he could make a good showing against either. Vallone's last fight in this city was at the Simonsyille 4. C.. when he fought Tom Darling.
 Perhaps there was no signifi. canoe attached to Commissioner Walk. CTS absence from the meeting of the board of works on Tuesday evening, but there are those in Brooklyn who declare that the alderman and com AAAAoSiputT llisuN HdNt sldeeu away because the Clark street improvement was to be discussed. The alderman from the third never was apparently very enthusiastic about the proposed improvement. but it is not probable that he would stay from a meeting simply because the matter was to be acted upon. It is more like Mir Walk CT to be present and express his opinions rather than to stay away and not have the courage of his con- vietions.
 If you have to suffer from any of the ills that flesh is heir to. It may be necessary to see a doctor. The next important thing Is to get your prescription filled where you are sure of careful attention and pure drugs. Walker. the Brooklyn druggist, fills the bill in this re- spect
