 The Brooklyn polo team dashed the hopes of the South Ends to pieces last evening when they de- feated them at the Auditorium and made their hold on first place more secure. The boys from across the bridge showed that with their regr- lar team on the floor they have just little on the South Ends and un- doubtedly would win the majority of games if a series were arranged between these teams.
 -Hurrah for the extension of Clark street. The board of public works has at last decided to do the work and has advertised for bids fo. the job. The bids will be opened on April z. Hans Rasmussen was so delighted when he heard the news last evening that he could not wait but immediately called up several of his friends and informed them of the action that the works commits toners had taken. The Brooklyn Improvement society and the Town Plot Improvement society have been nghting the past couple of years for the extension of Clark street. Coxey's army in it's palmiest days never made a more vigorous effort to obtain anything than the delega- tions that have walked from Brook lyn to City hall and demanded the extension of Clark street. Promises were made galore, but that is all that ever came of the efforts of the Brooklynites. Conferences were held, taxpayers were urged to get out and hustle, mass meetings were called frequently, the matter was aired in the papers, and every child on Town Plot was taught the slogan Clark street extension or down with the politicians" The city officials have had not moments rest since the Clark street extension was first heard of. At one time it even threatened to disrupt the Brooklyn and Town Plot society. And now when 1t seemed that the matter WAS about to pass into its grave the board of public works suddenly de- cided 10 have the work done. and there is cause for rejoicing. Hans Rasmussen is arranging for one of the biggest bonfres that has ever been seen on the hill. Wood will be collected from far and wide to make the blaEe visible from any part of the city. For there is cause for A display. The trolley company has promised that with tha extension of Clark street will come that long awaited line to Town Plot. No more will the residents have to tramp through three and four inches of mud, slush and water. IL has been a long. long time coming. but Il seems to De on its way.
