BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Sizes 13 to IF boys suits $1 and $2 at Upson, Singleton & Co.'S.
 William Dunphy of Bank street and John Bolan of Summit street are spending the week in New York.
 Frank Johnson of Bank street left yesterday to resume his studies at McGill university where he is pre- pairing for the medical profession.
 A car on the Bank street line jumped the tracks near James street last evening about S:45. It did no damage but caused the passengers in the upper part of Brooklyn that came over during the next half hour to do a little walking.
 The fair given by the Brooklyn Athletic club in City hall last week was decided success, and it will un- doubtedly from now on be an annual event. The club has been accustOm- ed to hold fairs in their own rooms on Bank street but now that a start has been made on a larger venture the majority of the members are in favor of continuing it.
 Now, you grumblers, will you be good? Once more the city has started on the Liberty street exten- sion and once again the people, wait ing for the improvement, are smiling trifle. True there were not many men at work there to-day but E. G.. Kilduff, superintendent of streets, had about half dozen on the job early this morning. Stakes were set and if the men are kept at the work, within short time a start will be made on the laying of the curb.
 A call has been issued for the candidates of the All-Brooklyn Foot ball team to report this evening at 8 o'clock in the rooms of the Brook lyn Athletic club. Bill" Mahaney, who for number of years has been identified with gridiron aggrega- tions in Waterbury, is the prime mover in the formation of team in Brooklyn and expects to get an eleven together that will compare favorably with any in the state. Mahaney claims to have several of the players that were on the All Waterbury eleven last season who with the new material are expected to make a rather "classey" collec- ton of men. A manager and cap tain will in all probability be select ed this evening and arrangements made to begin practice right away. Mahaney himself may coach the team.
 A meeting of the Junior Ama- teur league will be held this evening in the B. A. c. rooms, when the final business of the season will be fin ished. Although there are few more games to be played, the fact that the Stanley Parks are so far in the lead that there is no chance of their losing the championship will lead the managers to award the prize money this evening. Moreover, the standing of none of the teams will be affected to any extent by the few games left, and all will probably de- eide to "call it off" tonight. The only prize this season is $S0, all of which will go to the victorious team. The money has been in the hands of Joseph A. Smith since the beginning of the season, each team having con- tributed sl0. The league under the leadership of Michael Madden has had a very successful season. having excllent grounds to play on and hay ing thousands of spectators at the games. The Stanley Parks have won the championship on their merits and apparently have 1t on all other hines in the league. for they continue to defeat their opponents with elocklike regularity. In addition to winning the prize money they are picking up a few dollars in match games. hay ing already "copped'' $50 In this way. x,~-~-~zsx
