Youth Settles With John Gael in Lieu
 of Arrest.

New Britain.l Sept. 1.--Haying his team borrowed from him without his knowing it, and collecting .$10 for 1t when 1t was returned an hour later is the boast of John Gael of South street, whose buggy was taken by an unknown party while he was attend ing service Sunday at the German Baptist church.
 Gael reported the matter to the po- lice. According to the story which he told them, youth about IS years old had taken the team during church time, thinking to get it back unbe- known to it's owner. He miscalcu- lated, however, as to the hour for the closing of the service. The owner asserts that one of the shafts was bent and wheel slightly damaged. He threatened to have the youth ar- rested, whereupon settlement was made for $10.
 Gael is said to have been highly pleased over the bargain he made with the youth.

FIRE AUTO DISABLED
Tried 10 Run Up . Tree on
 IesveDwarlh Street.

Fire Chief Snagg's automobile was put out of commission on Leaven. worth street this forenoon about 10 o'clock. Edward Grace the chauffeur who Is teaching other hremen how to run the machine was at the wheel and hls pupil at the time was Joseph Forth, the chiefs driver under the old order of things. The machine was going slowly up the street when 1t suddenly took to the sidewalk op- posite Center street and went bang into tree. The collision was SO slight that neither of the men in the machine was disturbed. The crank in front was buried few inches in the tree and 1t took the united effort of a dozen men to free the car. The only damage apparent was a bent crank, but as doctors say internal damage must also have been sustain. ed for the car could not stir under It's own power and 1t had to be lowed to Towle's garage for repairs.
 The accident was caused by the car skidding in pool of mud or was turned aside by contact with the cover of catch basin which stands about four inches above the ground a little distance from where the ma chine took to the sidewalk.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS

Miss Helen Burke of Thomaston who has been visiting friends in this section has returned home.
 The Rev James Mitchell of the Sacred Heart church New Haven Is visiting his mother on Bank street.
 -Chief Snagg has not yet selected the driver who will succeed Thomas Cavanaugh, newly appointed captain of the Baldwin street house, on the Brooklyn steamer.
 The Cadets hopeful because of their victory over the Stanley Parks are preparing to issue challenge to the leaders of the Junior Amateur league for a purse of $25 or $50. The contest If arranged will be hum- mer.
 -E. V. Curley, manager of the Independent baseball team has been playing the part of detective the past couple of weeks. He has been through the state trying to learn the whereabouts of A. P. Hines valuable dog which disappeared some weeks ago. The terrier got out through hole in the fence around the Bene- dict and Burnham factory one day and has not been located since.
 Pitcher Schlosser of the Brook lyn Athletic club has gone to Buffalo where he has secured position. The twirler is likely to do some playing there although his position was not procured through his ability on the slab. Schlosser has had several of- fers from semi-professional teams but he did not care to take them. There is no reason why he should not be with some fast team next year If he continues to improve as he has the past.
 The gypsies arrested yesterday by Lieutenant Dodds and Detective Ken- naugh were having quite a time in Brooklyn yesterday before they were brought in. They knew as much about telling fortunes as they did of running a motor boat. They were without doubt two of the most filthy characters ever brought into the po- lice station and were so unclean in their appearance that people in this section stopped on the street to look at them. Doorman John Mates says that 1t will be some months before he will be able to clean the cells wherein they languished for a few hours.
 There is not likely to be any amateur polo league this season if there is not team in this city rep resenting the national league. AL though the amateur games last sea- son were at times much more inter- esting than the big contests never theless the boys would find it rather hard sailing if they endeayored to run league on their own hook. Still they might be able to come to some agreement with the Eagles whereby they would get the hall little cheaper than usual. If the clubs were evenly balanced and the players cut out their bickerings and worked for the success of the organization even with the heavy expense they would in all probability be able to pull through. There are some very good amateur players in this city and some of them have just reached the point where they are promising The league would have to have good men behind it and under those conditions the players at the end of the season would perhaps have few dollars to divide. With the proper fellows at the head of it, it would be worth chance If Messers McMahon and Hall liwell decide to place their team in Taunton. The All-Brooklyn team would be willing to try an amateur league if other teams would go in.

For Aud Lang Syne.

The members of the Presbyte-

husbands sent a message to Mr..
and Mrs. James Baird Friday
night to the effect that they were
coming for a social evening but
not for surprise"
This affair which was an in
verted surprise party, passed off
with great merriment. Mrs. Ag-
nes Baird as she has been known
for years throughout this part of
Colorado, is general favorite
and the party was given to her
i'll token of farewell as she and
her family leave for Kansas City
next week.
The ladies brought delicious
sherbet and cake and at parting
presented Mrs. Baird with franz
ed photograph OF the Presbyte-
rian church and manse both of
which she has helped to build and
maintain by years of loving ser
vice. The evening was devoted
to amusing games which seemed
more so because most of the per-
sons who participated had reach
ed middle age and some had pass
ed it.
Grandpa and Grandma Nc
Glashen became as little children,
and somebody said in describing
the party, "They played 'Bobitty
Bob, 'Introductions to the Green
Family and Hunt the Quarter
with more vim than half the
young folks in Holly, would have
displayed under similar circum-
stances"
