BROOKLYN, TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1889. SIX PAGES. THREE CENTS, 49. NO. 125.

DOWNEY DID IT. THE PARIS FAIR. LEILA RUNS OFF IN OTHER ROOMS THREE HEADS countries in Franco havo decided that thoy would not officially participate in all the fetes attending tho exposition. It is not meot as representatives ofmonarohioB that they should celebrate a century which is tho anniversary of tho destruction of their own government. Boaido, tho countries are not officially represented at tlie exposition, therefore tho French Government cannot invito them to participate to its celobration any moro than if it wero a private show.

I imagino that tho Republicans will not break their hoarta at this decision. The Gallic rooster will bo able to crow the louder if the exposition provos a great success without the concurrence of panting royalty. Emma Buixut. or six weeks in prison when they get to Liverpool. A gentleman from Far Bockaway looked at the Hoys this morning and went to see the Collector to try and get two of them.

The eldest boy, Timothy Langan, of FarreU'a Park, Cork, has a brother in Hyde Park, N. but he doesn't know his address. Ho worked his passage to Liverpool to stowaway, in the hope of reaching his brother, and he would much rather remain. Some of the others would like to go back, but all seem afraid to return on the St BonanB. BARTnOLDI COUNCIL OF UNITED FRIENDS.

ItH Fourth Anniversary Concert and Be caption in Turn Ma.ll. Bartholdi Council No. 175, Order of United Friends, gave its fourth anniversary concert and reception at Turn Hall, in Meserole street, last evening. The place was crowded with friendB of the organization. A four act comedy drama preceded the dancing.

It is entitled "Is Marriage a receiving subscriptions for the proposed Jefferson Hall on Boerum street had been extended until May 10, so that as many Democrats aa possible might be able to tako stock. Mr. Arthur J. Heany moved that tho time be oxtended for ten days, as many Democratic ward associations had not held their May meetings. Alderman Murphy said he did not see the necessity of any extension of time, as a resolution had been passed providing that any president of a ward association having stock over $500 should sell to members of the association.

Mr. Heaney retorted by Baying that he did not care to take his Btock through any man. Ho, with others, desired to pay subscriptions' directly to the committee. President Adams said the extension of the time to the 10th of May had been strongly opposed, as it was necessary to have tho building iu readiness for the Fall campaign. It would do no.harm to pass Mr.

Heaney'B rosolution, he Baid, as it was in the naturo of a request. He did not think the time should be extended, however. Mr. Heaney said he was informed that certain gentlemen in two wards were to subscribe $40, 000, bo that the extension of time would not prevent the erection of the building. He thought, however, that tho members of the ward associations might be given tiuio to put in thoir subscriptions.

Mr. Heaney's motion prevailed and tho meeting adjourned. BOARD OF ALDERMEN. Carpenter has proved costly, and their toam have not played in old red stocking stylo, with their ridiculous Nadiy uniforms on. They will rally aud be among the four leaders.

The BaltimoreB have loomed up stronger than expocted.the only drawback being dirty ball playing, which will tell against them badly. Honinng and Mack have strengthened the team. Their best pitcher is Cunningham. Foreman depends too much on speed and is costly on called balls. Unless Vqn, der Abe leaves the entire control of the St.

Louis team to Comiskey ho will be badly left iu tho pennant raeo. The president is no man to boss the team no president hould, es. pocially one of quick temper like Von derAhe. While the demoralization iu the toam exists they will lose all the valuable ground thoy gained in the race in April. As there ia no doubt that there will be larger crowds at tho matches at Bidgowood.

Park' this season than ever before, Mr. Wallace should have a Btand erected at center field, and a pioket fence placed there to keep tho crowd out of the center field. Thero will always be trouble until this is done. Any disturbance at the grounds would soon lead tho authorities to close tho place on Sundays, and, therefore, everything should bo done to avoid such trouble as that of last Suuday, which seats at center field and a fence thero would have avoided. Now that tho Brooklyn and New York clubs are away the Metropolitans will have a chance to make hay.

A game with the Brooklyn Athletics would be attractiva. Tho Amateur Loagno season opens next Saturday, oil which day tho Orange Athlotic Club's nine visit Washington Park to play the Crescent Club's nine, and tho Staten Island Athletics play at tho Stateu Island Cricket Club's ground at Livingston. Tho following Saturday the Athletic nine of Staten Island play tho Crescents at Washington Park and the Orangemen go to Livingston. This is how New York's pitcher, Crane, let seven inns bo scored at Philadelphia last Thursday: Wood hit a hot one at Crane ami the latter threw the runner out at first; Delehanty got a straight pitched ball and drove it into center for two bases; Fogarty was sent to first on balls; Thompson was hit by a pitched ball und the bases were full; Crane gave Mulvey his bane on balls and Delehanty camo home; Andrews lined tho ball into center and Fogarty and Thompson scored, Mulvey going to third; Farrar hit to lUeh avdson, but Mulvey was too speedy for tho throw and slid across tlie plate with the fourth run for Philadelphia. With Andrews on third Buftintou hit a grounder to Ward, win) failed to handle tho ball, and Andrews and Farrar scored.

Bullinton stole second and Schriver was sent to first on balls; Wood forced Schriver out at second on a hit to Richardson, and Bullinton scored on a passed ball; Delehanty flew out to Tiernan and the Phillies went out into tho field.

Editor of the Brooklyn Kaote: I was a witness at tho base ball game which took placo on Sunday last, May 5. I think it was tho meanest piece of business I ever saw on tho part of the Brooklyn Base Ball Club. The idea to want to blamo the Athletics for what they did themselves! Such a thing to occur like that in the City of Churches is a disgrace to the people. Anybody could hco (that was not blind) that the Brooklyns were clearly beaten, and President Byrne for allowing a crowd of roughs to take possession of the field ought to bo severely reprimanded by the directors of the association, unless he has a pull.

B1100KJ.YN May 7, 1880. His Pitching Gives Victory to the Cuban Giants. Mnrpliy's Catchin? for the Brooklyn Athletics Saves Them from the Worst Kind of Defeat Team Batting by the Colored Players from Which the Brooklyn Club Might Take Lessons American and League Games Cricket News. The largest gathering of spectators Been at tho Brooklyn Atldetic Club's grounds this seaRon woro present yesterday to sco the noted colored champions, tho Cuban Giants the St. Louis nine of the colored clubs of tho country play tho Athletic Club's nine, and a closely contested and interesting match they witnessed, the exhibitionJn playing tho points of the game by tho colored champions being specially noteworthy.

The Athletic nine, with one exception, their pitcher, were the strongest the club havo as yet placed in the field, aud but for the wild, swift pitching of Downey who has not improved in his work Binco last season in any respect the home toam would have given their strong adversaries a very close fight. Ab it waB the visitors had to fight hard for victory. But for the splendid catching of Murphy the Giants would have had a half dozen moro runs added to thoir score, for Downey gave four men their bases on ballB, sent men round bases four times by wild pitches, and sent live mon to first base by flitting them with pitched balls. He goes in to strike out batsmen with swift pitching.nome thiug that is played out under the new rules. Thirteen battery errors is pretty costly pitching.

If he would learn to command the ball and study up strategic play in tho box ho would bo moro effective than he now is. His pitching was the only weak spot in the nine. Murphy's catching was the feature of the game on tho Athletic side, his throwing to bases being something that Clark, of the Brooklyn team, would give a great doal for, so swift and accurate was it. His stops of wildly pitched balls, too, were up to a high mark. They have a tiptop first baseman in Couklin; in fact their infield is a very strong one.

A foaturo of the play in the infield was a splendid line ball catch by Stevenson, ending in a double play. O'Fiynn covered third finely, too, as did Wilson at second, whilo good catches were mado by Abel and Paasch in the outfield. Up to the sevonth inning the contest was close and exciting, the score standing at 2 to 2, but in tho seventh inning tho Giants punished Downey's pitching badly. The first two batsmen in this inning earned their bases by good hits, and tho third took his base on balls, and with three men on bases, Grant their crack second baseman sent a corker over Abel's head for three bases and sent all but tho ruuuer homo, the latter being finely put out at the plate by Murphy. Four more safe hits followed, and when the inning ended five earned inns had been added to the Giants' score off seven clean hits, yielding a total of seven.

Thi i virtually gave tho visitors the victory, but in their ninth inning they made three more by good batting. Tho placing of safo balls to right field by Boyd when runners were on third was tho batting feature of the game, iib ho brought in three runs. Tho Brooklyn team might take lessons from tho Giants in toam batting. Here ia the full Bcore: OlANTS. ii.

The Great Tower Ready on Time and Pronounced by the French "A Bigger Thing Than Old fioulanger." Correspondence of tho Eagle.) Paris, April 20, 1880. The exposition with its attendant shows comprises a city within a city. Just now it presents the curious spectacle of a town being built all at once, at which thousands of laborers are at work with the feverish hasto of consciousness that what they are doing now ought to have beou dono before.

The interior of the fair, aa well as its outskirts, presents curious sights. Within tho inclosure, each edifice alive inside and out with men, of whom a part are trying to build a house, whilo the other aro trying to movo into it. On tho outsido men aro perched up on ladders, on scaffolds, decorating, painting, putting iu glass, adjusting water pipes, joining tiles and putting up immense F.s" everywhere, so no one will be apt to forget that this is the republic's exposition. In the inside of each department plast erors elbow carpenters, carpenters elbow painters, they themselves stand in the way of men who aro trying to shovo their show cases in place, while tho tapissior, with drapery in hand, is waiting for standing room to go to work, and the exhibitor looking now at the men at work, now at tlie unpacked boxes, could poso for a most impressive statue of impationce. Around the buildings an army of men aro at work with paving, digging ground, laying grass plots, planting shrubs of all'kindB and laying out parterres in which all sorts of flowers will grow and bloom when tho seeds are sown aud the stalks planted.

Along the walks immense arcades aro boing erected to protect people from rain and sunshine. Everything will be done, but not dono in time. Tho opening will take place the (Sth of May, the Exposition will be closed again, 1 wish I could say to put on tho finishing touches, but the truth must bo told, it will be to complete tho arrangement of everything and the final finishing of the buildings. Tho bustle and confusion all along tho outskirts are indescribable. Street pavings are upheavod everywhere for new ones to be put down, Just enough space is left for vehicles to go single file in between mountains of sand, stono and wood.

Tho man at work, the squads of policemen tryiug to keep order, the pedestrians who can't pass, tho drivers who are trying to, all scroaming, protesting, quarreling, gesticulating, is Bedlam let loose. Tho Frenchman can't work fast unless ho is in a bad humor, and when he is in that state his mouth is as aotivo as his hands. I told you in a recent letter I met Mr. Bridg man, who is president of tho seventeen composing the jury on American painting. Ho looked considerably nervous and worried, and said ho spent all of his time attending to tho exposition business, and had just returned from a prolonged meeting of the jury.

Tho members on it want more room: walls which cover a space of 14,000 square feet are allotted to them and they want ii.OOO more. Ho is suro thero will not be enough room and it is the American painters from Paris who will be tho sufferers, for the Jury ia bound to hang all the pictures which were sent from Amorica. How is that I "asked. Woll, they were chosen by a Jury in America, and wo are not expected to pass a second judgment; wo must simply find a place for them." Over a thousand of French pictures aro already hung, but some of tho plastering of the foreign departments is not finished and pictures are still in their boxes. I am sure tho American jury anticipates somo trouble with the hanging.

Courtesy and good breeding will, of course, provent exhibitors from quarreling openly, but dissatisfaction is inevitable. There is much moro room above the lino than on it. The jury will certainly be accused of monopolizing if it is not self sac rificing enough to bow and say to all: My pic ture after yours, Bir!" In all departments the French aro moro ad vanced than tho foreigners; tho decorations in several halls are completed; the floors aro clearod of debris, show oases are in their places, the decorations and filling of them aro begun. But one is in dismay to see everything so' far from completion. Tho foreign departments are still in a half chaotic state.

The English aud Belgians are more advanced than the others. The spaces, in a measure, are filled, and each ono is busy decorating the inside and outside of show eases. The organization of the American departments is not in a sufficient state of progress, as yet, to bo able to tell much about it. There is a general complaint among Americans that not enough space has been given them. All tho show casos must crowd in, and many exhibitors havo been crowded out altogether.

Still the American exhibition will be considered next iu importance to that of France. Great things are expected of them in inventions. More than one third of the space allotted to the United States has been given to Edison, and his show will be one of the centers of attraction. The place is still in disorder, and the description of tho unfinished instruments, which to the general mind aro generally known but by their effect, is impossible. The machine hall is indeed imposing and grand.

It is built chiefly of iron and glass, is almost 1,400 feet long, 400 wide and 150 in height. It is the largest of the kind over erected. The French have the secret of arranging everything gracefully and tastily. Even this machine shop assumes a graceful air and will be decorative and symmetrical with the general ensemble of the exposition. Hero the gigantic parts of all sorts of mysterious infernal machinos are being put together; things are taking shape, but I doubt whether any of them will be iu running order for tho opening.

Tho construction is so fine and so durably mado that a reason for its romaining where it is after October haB already been found. It will be turned into a military riding school; it is large enough to contain 14,400 horses. The Eiffel Tower, the most stupendous work of the exposition, is the only part perhaps which will be completed. The lifts are being constructed aud will be in mounting order in a few days. According to tho contract drawu the enterprisers must bo able to mount 2,350 persons an hour up tho first platform and 750 up to the very Bumiuit.

The tariff is 40 cents for the first story, GO cents for tho second and 41 for th top. On Sunday tho ascent will be cheapor 20 cents for the first, 30 cents for the secoud and 40 cents for tho highest point. The ascents will tako place from 11 A. M. to 0 P.

M. To facilitate the Bale of tickets sixteen offices will be establiBhed around the tower where they can bo had; they will bo red for the first, white for tho second platform and blue for tho summit. Tho first platform can bo roached by mountin tho stops and by means of the elevator at option. Bnt from thero the lift will bo obligatory. Tho tower will be able to accommodate 10,000 pooploon tho various platforms, in tho lifts, on tho stairs and on tho summit without any crowding whatever.

The present craze for this tower is indescribable. It has supplanted General Boulangor. If you happen to look iuto a showcase you are sure to see a representation of it cither in sugar cake, lace, ribbons, pens, penholders, apples, can died fruit, iron, steel, converted into playthings of every kind, and wherever yon go your ears aro deafened by venders who peddlo the picture of tho Eiffel Tower, with all of its dimensions. It is made into jet and passementerie for dress trim mings. Yesterdry at the Printomps I saw a woman buy a dress pattern covered with em broidered Eiffel towers.

An apparatns for gambling has been invented which assumes its shape, and tho chances are taken with the numbers indicating the points of its height and their combinations. It has sot poets to working. A few days ago ono of tho journals received a reproduction of tlie tower representing its meters in 300 which describo its contours. The very elevator is ascended in verse. That fellow can bo honored with the title of poet laureate of tho tower.

There is no danger of going hungry in the exposition if you have money in your pockot. In the interior garden of the Champs do Mars; that is within tho quadrangle of tho grounds, thoro will be nineteen restaurants, cafes and dining places. Then in differont parts, within the Champs do Mars, ten French and one Roumanian restaurants will bo established; and a bar near the Trocadero, two more restaurants on tho Quai D'Orsaycthree on tho Esplanade of the Invalidcs; fonr ou the first platform, the Tower Eiffel. Any one fond of exotic dishes will be able to fiud them at the Tunisian, Hungarian, Annamite, Creole, Oriontal places. In tho sectioiiB in which all the French materials of the hunt and fishing will be exposed thero will be alminiature show case winch will contain a few sheUs filled with unpolished poarls, valued at $000,000.

Two special guardians will bostationed to watch over that treasure. In this same soction the largest pearl in the world will bo exhibited. It weighs soventy fivo grains; the form and color are unique; it ib valued at $15,000. The floral exposition iu tho Trocadero will be one of the wonders of tho fair; it will bo renewed every two weeka; 10,000 cut flowers will always bo on show and offered for aale. In the apecial show of roses there will be 2,500 kinds in bloom during tho month of June.

The commiasion on theaters has colleotod very curious documents relating to properties, scenery, costumes, relics bolonging to authors and actors, and a great number of plana of operas and ballets, which will have a conapicuous place in tho Palace of Liberal Arts. Two reading rooms will bo openod to visitors ot the fair. One on the Champs de Mars, behind the pavilion of Fine Arts, near the Avenue de La BourdonnaiB; the othor on the EBplanade of the Invalidcs. Thia last ono is established in viow of accommodating tho strangers; they will there find all the papers printed in tho world. It is important for strangers to know the law recently passed by tho Chamber in roforence to the responsibility of hotel koepers for valuables left at tho hotels.

It runsthna: "Hotel keepers are not responsible for a larger sum than 1,000 francs ($200) left in the hotel, unless valuables, such as chooks, bank notes, money and jewolry, aro deposited in the safes of the house." All the diplomatic corps representing European And Bigamist Ostrander May Yet Escape. His Second Wife Sonds Word to Her Mother that Sho Will Stay Away from Brooklyn Until Matters Hare Been vSet tled. Alonzo A. Ostrander, the alleged bigamist, may yet escape prosecution if tho principal witneBB againBt him, in the person of his second wife, keeps away from court Tho accused mau was first married in April, 1875, and the bride of that occasion lives now at 330 Bergen street. few montliB ago Ostrander fell in love with Leila Henriques, who lived with hor paronts at 05 Clermont avenue.

Tho affection was returned, and when Ostrander informed tho young lady that Mrs. Ostrander No. I was still in tho land of living, but that ha did not consider hia marriage to her a legal ono, nothing could be moro natural than that Leila should beliovo him. Tho result was that in April of this year Leila changed her name to that of Mrs. Ostrander, tho Rev.

Jacob Webber, pastor of tho Herkimer Streot Reformed Church, performing tho ceremony. When tho girl's father heard of what had taken place he made diligent inquiries and learned of the existence of Mra. Ostrander No. 1. It was ho who preferred tho charge of bigamy, but it was evident from the.

start that Leila had no heart in the prosecution. The hearing was set down for yesterday afternoon, and when Justice Kenna called the case at 3 o'clock the prosecution gavo tho information that it could not proceed in the case as the principal witness, Mrs. Ostrander No. 2, had left for parts unknown. The only information regarding her waa contained in a letter from tho girl to her raothor, and on the statement mado an adjournment was asked for.

Hero ia a copy of the letter: May 3, 1889. Deau Ma I cannot content mysolf at homo, so I thought that I would stay away until this affair is over, which I will find out through the newspapers. Do not worry about mo, for I am all right. 1 will work for my board. Tell pa the same for inc.

I shall not stay in Brooklyn, so do not worry. Your affectionate Leila. P. S. Do not look for me.

for I will not go home until things aro settled. I foci better away. "Wo ask for tiuio in order to bring this girl back," said Councilor Rockwell. "Sho has boon spirited away." "If she has it was dono by the othor side," retorted Counselor Kramer, who appeared for Ostrander. "I object to any adjournment." An adjournment was granted until thia afternoon.

VOTE FOR TEMPERANCE. Mr. Advice to ICatlical Prohibitiouivlwa The Irving Temperance Union held its regular meeting Sunday afternoon in Ridgowood Hall. Mr. W.

C. Mitchell, President, led a praiso service for a half hour. Mr. O. W.

Richards led in prayer, after which Mr. James Morton was introduced as speaker for the afternoon. Mr. Morton traced out the real Christian life, and then, speaking on temperance in connection with it said Striving as wo do to secure prohibition, how can we justify ourselves in pushing aside tin minor moves that lead up to final success? Mj faith is steadfast in its final triumph, hut wliethei it shall be iu five, or ten or twenty years or when beyond that no man can tell. Working and waiting for that day 1 see around me a class in whom this principle is unsettled and with whom it ia but a shifting sand, a class who have not yet formed a clear Judgment upon the issue, who have no fixed estimate of tho worth of the principle to the community.

The only true basis on which prohibition can rest is when a majority ol the people have a fixed principle of abstinence aa personal duty aud a conscience settled upon the necessity nf prohibition by statute. Seed must be sown in all soils that will bear fruit, and small instrumentalities must be used as well as great, whether that be in the closing of a single saloon or in tho enforcement of present statutes or tho creation of new ones that will establish in a minor degree Prohibition within the control of the people. Thero is at tho present time a local option bill before the Login, laturc to givo local option to the people of the State, whether by towns, village, cities, wards or election districts, by which means community will control its own neighborhood, and keep out homes free from the immediate presence and pestilence of the saloon. This seems to bo ho reasonable, so beneficent iu its tMiwer to operate for good, that, a request was placed before the General of the Prohibition party ol Kings County to support the bill. Ttiis support was refused and tho bill actually condemned.

What is the argument for this action? That everything outside of a November ballot depositing a Prohibition vote is revolutionary in its action and will keep back tho final triumph I protest against sncli judgment, und hereby declare that whatever will break the power of tho saloon by reducing its numbers that whatevei will secure the enforcement of present statutes in their restrictive or prohibitory aspect that what over will secure the passage of a bill that will give more power to, and placo in tho hands of the neonle the power to restrict that whatever will help the people to placo iu power locally men iu whom the people will have confidence, that "law shall be enforced and excise statutes obeyed and tho power and influence of the saloon as a political machine shall be broken up and shorn of its wicked strength, so that our homes may be protected from its approach and our children guarded as much as possible from its destroying influences. I am with every movement that will secure that, without consideration of the source from whence it may come, and in doing this I shall do only that which is required of every citizen who would secure for himself and community a good local government and tho peace and safety of the Commonwealth. Prohibitionist, citizen, neighbor, this great moral conflagration is consuming precious homes, tempting our young men to vice and from vice to crime, debauching the fairest of young lives and making children of tender years familiar with the. most abhorrent sights that the traffic can reveal. There is a call for your help.

"No! No! the shout comes imett. i win cast a oanot next November," and so the cry goes up for present relief. Year after year and the answer comes back: "No! No! Perish the home; ruin the child. I shall do nothing, yield nothing. I ivill be consistent and true to my vote and pray and vote next November, live years, ten years, twenty years, if need be; I will vote as I pray next Friends, this seems to mo a short sighted discharge of Christian duty.

What is required of us to day ia whatever can bo done. To morrow is not ours, and tho radical, one idea prohibitionist who will not help iu tho sore hour of tho city's immediate ueceesity is not doing what Paul did, he ia not up to tho standard of Mary, with her box of ointment, lie ia void of the childlike faith that would givo the cup of cold water, or divide tho half loaf or bestow the crust in the absence of tho whole loaf, and of whom in this aspect of the caso at least he promises, while he holds on with his prayer and his ballot for tho ides of November, ho will omit the example of Him who went about continually to do good. The leaBt thing that can be dono to help sfionld bo dono as well as the greatest thing that ought to be dono, working Btraight ahead for final succesB. The best minds of every shade of politics and of every religious creed, statesmen and philosophers, aro studying out the gieat problem, how it is to be dono, in tho belief that it must be done, and to reach this let us in every possible way we can consistent with good citizenship help on the good work and learu to know practically, who is our neighbor. FLATLANDS HEALTH BOARD.

It Examine the Charjrew Afrainut Certain Fat Uoiliiifr The Town Board of Fhitlands will, in a few days, give its decision in reference to tho nuisance said to exist in the fat boiling establishments of County Treasurer Harry Adams and Christian Whitting. Recently complaints wore lodged against them by tho Van Sinderens, the Ryersons and John Ditmaa, who claim that tho smell created by the boiling process is something terrible. On Friday testimony was taken by tho Town Board, sitting as a Health Board. Supervisor Baisloy presided and Town Clerk Morrcll recorded. Thero were present beside Justicoa Wilson, Thomas, Savage and Cowenhoven and citizen member Brown.

All witnesses oxamined in answer to the clover cross examination of ex. Judge Rauach, admitted that they noticed a smell about onco a month. Thero was no positive proof that the smoll was not created by tho boiling establishments on Barren Island. Tne Board reserved its decision. ALOXG THE WATER FJtOJiT.

Hill Grove Lodge Enter Into Their New Meeting Place. Masons from Many Sister Bodies Help to Make tlie Occasion Memorable Address by Worshipful Master Sntton. Hill Grove Lodgo No. 540, F. and A.

was organized twenty five years ago, and at various periods of its existence it has hold high and distinguished positions in tho order. For the quarter of a century during which it has worked faithfully in the unique path for which Masons are famous it has had on its roll many men who have been foremost in the councils of the craft, and to day it numbers some of the most prominent Masons and citizens of this city. Last evening the lodge took possession of their new rooms in tho Hancock Building, on Bedford avenue, near Fulton street, and the oqca sion was marked by one of the most brilliant communications in its history. The new rooms of the lodge, in which TnBcan Lodgo also meets, are models of elegance and convenience. The lodge room proper is largo and handsomely furnished.

Tho waiting rooms, commit teo rooms, reception room and the outer anteroom constitute a suite that furnishes rare accommodations not only for Masons, but for Royal Arcanum and other societies. For nearly an hour before the openuig of the lodge these rooms were visited by a large number of members of tho craft hailing from sister bodies. Among them was a large representation of Hill Grovo and a numerous delegation from Tuscan, led 'by Worshipful Brother Nathan; Right Worshipful Brother Bon nington, past district deputy of tho Second Masonic District, and past masters from at feast ten lodges of this city. Promptly at 8 o'clock Worshipful Master William H. Sutton took his place in the East, and the lodge was opened for business.

The largo room was soon crowded with members and visitors, and in the East the following Masons occupied seats Bight Worshipful Brother Bonnington, P. D. D. G. Second District; Worshipful Brothers Gill, EaatuioadandBoyce, Fortitude Lodge; Lowes andBalance, Anthon; Thorne, Yew Tree; Murray, Cambridge; Bennett, St.

Michael's, London, England; Rivers and Myers, Adytum: Nathan, Tuscan; Barker, Aurora Grata; Stafford, Brooklyn; Hockemeyor, Euclid; Meyer, of Greenwood; Shannon, Masterson, Walsh and Silliman, of Hill Grovo. Among the scores of visiting brethren wero Brothers Robinson, of B. B. French Lodge, Washington, D. Schermerhorn, Woer ner and Low, of Zercdatha; Foster, of Adytum; Monzies and Renauld, of Commonwealth; Burton, Peaso and Davis, of Covenant, and Alexander McLean, of Fortitude.

Just be l'oro work in tho First Degree was begun Worshipful Mastor Sutton addressed the lodge as follows Brethren of Hill Grove Lodgo and Visiting Brethren I cannot let this occasion pass without greeting you witli a formal welcome and thanking you for your attendance here in such goodly numbers and for the hearty support which I have received during tho brief time which I haveoccu pied the East, and 1 desire to congratulate tho members of Hill Grove Lodge on having, ob taiued such a handsome and comfortable suit of rooms for its future communications. In leaving the rooms with which Hill Grove Lodge has been so long identified, and in which so much of moment to it has accurred, there is no doubt but a great deal of regret at the necessity for so doing is felt by many hero to night, but in the hope that all is for the best this step has been taken, and it only remains for tlie members of Hill Grove to put their energies forward, and I am sure that there could not have been a wiser thing done. When the members of an association become apathetic then comes a decline. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" is a familiar household word; its teachings may be well pondered by us. If we are vigilant and energetic there is no room for believing that the destiny of this lodge can be other than tho foremost.

Many references have been made to the past history of the lodge. What it lias been it can be again. If it has had a brilliant career in the days gone by, do not forget that the sun shines as bright nowadays as it ever did iu tho past, and in these davs of progress there is no reason to fear that Hill Grove Lodgo will not surpass all its former greatness in tho near future. Again thanking j'ou for pant and present favors, 1 welcome all; and I am no prophet if the star of this lodge is not in the ascendant. Only make up your minds to do your work and do it well, my brethren, and a glorious reward awaits you.

Worshipful Mastor Sutton's remarks wore received with hearty applause and spoken expressions of commendation. They wero followed by a few words from Brother Thomas Bishop, wJio is one of the charter members of the lodge. Seated in their respective positions for the work in hand were the following, beside the master in the EaBt: Senior Warden Samuel Teather, Junior Warden George A Caldwell, Treasurer David A. Hassell, Secretary James L. Murphy, Senior Deacon Judd H.

Redfield, Junior' Deacon Paul F. Wagner, Chaplain 0. H. Silliman, Organist Samuol Seabury, Senior Mastor of Ceremoniea George H. Whitfield and Junior Master of Ceremonies William W.

McMillan. One Entered Apprentice was initiated, Worshipful Brother Nathan, of Tuscan, presenting the lambskin and Worshipful Brother Gill, of Fortitude, the working tools. The delivery of the charge was ono of tho very interesting features of the evening. It was given by Worshipful Brother Bennett, of St. Michael's Lodge, Loudon, England.

It was a novelty to all present, eloquent, beautifully recited, and was listened to with rapt attention. After the closing of the lodge many lingered in the rooms, although the hour was late, to congratulate the master and the other officers of Hill Grove Lodge upon tho change of meeting place and upon the evident determination manifested by all to once more place Hill Grovo foremost among the Masonic bodies of Brooklyn. Worshipful Brother Rivers, of Adytum, extended an invitation to the brethren present to visit Adytum this evening and witness the conferring of the Third Degree. An invitation from the master of Tuscan Lodge was also extended to all present to visit him on next Wednesday evening, when tho Second Do gree will be conferred. ALDE.N S.

It already has a membet'Bliip of over two hundred, comprising some of tho best known citizens of Brooklyn and New York. It is safo to say that a club with a membership as large as this just started, will, before the season is over, number over six hundred members, which will make it ono of tho largest yacht clubs, as far as numbers aro concerned, in this country. Wo will hold two regattas, one early in July and one in September. Tho boats entered will be of light draft and peculiarly adapted to the Great South Bay, and, as ft is a well known fact that the best sailors in the country, such as Hank Ilaff, Terry.and other well known Bailing masters, hail from the Great South Bay, some very fine sailing and exciting regattas may be looked for." The Great South Bay Yacht Club was organized on the 17th of April last, and it is expected that after the first regatta it will have on its roll tho names of all the Summer residents of the south side of tho Island AVIEtt COUNCIL'S ENTERTAINM ENT.

THE ST. K0.VANS STOWAWAYS. Boya Who Will He Sent Hack to Liverpool. The sixteen stowaway boys on the steamship St.

Ronans were perched like so many monkeys on tho fok'sle rails when a reporter went on board this morning. A Custom House officer in charge said that it was a shame for the Emigration Commissioners to send these boys back and allow the forty Italian bootblacks to land. When the latter were detained at Castle Garden the news at once flew to the Italian quarter, and the place was overrun by hundreds of Italians claiming tho boys as their children. Each one of tho hoys conld have been immediately fitted out with several pairs of parents, fictitious, of courso, and so they were allowed to go, although it was about 3 00 to 1 that everyone of them was brought over by the padrones. No matter, the officer said, how many stowaways arrive on the Bordeaux ships they are never returned, whereas English or Irish boys invariably are.

The officer said he believed tho talcs of ill treatment told by tho boys, as the ofiicors wero compelled to tell the captain that they would report him to the Collector if ho did not give them better food than hard tack and water. Even tho sailors, he are fed with swill only fit for hogs, and he had geen better food given to hogs. To make matters worse the probabilities are that they will get five PRAISE FOR THE BROOKLYN REGIMENTS By military and Naval Officers Who Watched tlie (rcut Parade. The great Contennial parade in Now York last Tuesday, was closely watched by a party of United States military aud naval officers, who made critical notes of the regiments aa they passed and subsequently met and agreed on a report. Thia is what they say of the New Y'ork State troops, the Brooklyn organization appearing under tho head of "Second Brigado:" STATE OV NEW VOKK.

Cavalry Troops Fairly good. Woll officered. Has something of tho ring of rogulars to it. Needs more drill, however. Seventh Regiment Magnificent marching, bnt will it light? Men look effeminate and weak.

Uniform too gaudy and fancy for service. But few accouterinents worn. Regiment well handled and drilled. There iB too much show in tho regiment. It should bo stripped of its present uniform, clothed in United States regulation cloth and given experience in actual servico; until this is done it should not bo selected for immediate and important work.

Sixty ninth Regiment Fair. Made up of better fighting material than Seventh Regiment. Eighth Regiment Good. Companies 1, 2, 3, 4, It, very good; 2, good; 4 and 5, fairer; 7, poor. Ninth Regiment Yery good.

Companies 1, 2, 5, 8, 11. very good; 4, li, if, good; 3, 10, fair; 7, poor, very slouchy, Twenty second Regiment Very good. Uniform unserviceable. Marching oxccllent. Resembled that of German troops of the line.

Ought to be depended upon. Seventy first Regiment Poor. Companies 1 and 8, very good; 2, 3, 4, 7, fair; 5. poor; 9, good, but for one man broaking. Thero was considerable talking in ranks and lines broke often.

Tho regiment is badly in need of discipline and should bo reollieored: 8 company carried off all the honors due the regiment. Twelfth Regiment Good. Companies 1. 7. 8, 1 1.

very good: 2. 3. 4. 0. 10.

good: colors aud li. lair. Tho regiment was woll handled and offi cered. It looks like a fighting body of men and ought to bo depended upon. Its accouterinents were in good order and reflected favorably on officers and mon.

First Battery Well handled; guns old iu typo and worthless for efficiency. Gatling gun battery of hoi'BO artillery made an excellent showing; horses little too heavy for tho work; should not bo ovor in weight. SECOND 11RIOADE. Some members of the staff docked their horses' tails in very bad taste; showing otherwise good. Thirteenth Regiment (Brooklyn) Appearanco good: would have been excellent but for the breaking of some companies; tlie regiment a little inclined to be fancy.

Thirty second Regiment Good. Company 1 very good: companies 2, 3, 4 aud 5 good; 0 poor; 7 fair. Forty seventh Regiment Good. A very serviceable regiment. Fourteenth Regiment Good.

Appearance spoiled from being excellent by Company in fairly good condition. Twenty third Regiment Excellent. A very serviceable body of men; are well handled and carry themselves like, soldiers; looks as if it could bo depended upon when needed. The best showing of all tin! New York troops came from the provincial regiments. Here were great, stout country lads, innured to hardships and looking capable of pitching in and winning a fight to morrow.

As the companies of these regiments rolled by in solid masses they showed a magnificent front, and as a mass and body of troops, nothing last Tuesday could be compared with the Third Now York Brigade. If there is need for hard work, tbo Third Brigade diould be put at it. It is well armed and aecoutercd. FROM MILITIAMEN'S STANDPOINT. What i Thought of the (irand Army in the Centennial Parade.

The sentiments expressed in an interview with a prominent member of the Grand Army of tlie Republic, published in yesterday's Eaoi.k, touching the treatment of the veterans in connection with tho big Centennial parade have called forth many expressions of opinion from the National Guardsmen who participated iu the pageant, and some of the latter, although veterans of the late war themselves, do not by any means coincide with the views expressed. Commissary Richard Oliver, of tho Twenty third Regiment, who is a representative National Guardsman and has been for years prominently identified with ''Ours," said last night to an Eaole reporter in reference to the Grand Army man's comments: "I do not think the veterans should have turned out at all for the Centennial parade. It was understood to bo a military affair aud everybody knows that iu acaseoftir.it kind tho Grand Army is nowhere. It is true that by preventing the secession of a part of the Union the men who fought for the cause iu the War of tho Rebellion made it possible for us to celebrate our ono hundredth anniversary aB a united nation and thus belied the prophecies of Macauley and Evarts and others, and they should be duly honored for it. I would be tho last man to attempt to detract from tho credit due to tho veterans of the War of the Rebellion.

But in a military parade like the one in question they had properly no placo and thoy shouldn't be offended because people went away and wouldn't look at thorn after the militia aud the regulars passed. The Grand Army have Decoration day to themselves and then they are the heroes of the hour. Then they have the place of honor, as they should, and tho militia escort them, but everybody knows that in a purely military parade tho National Guard ia going to boat the veterans every time." WILL BE PAH) FOR TIIE PARADE. Tartly jllilitia Payrolls Cause IV Fears of a forfeit. Very little apprehension is felt among local national guardsmen over the published reports that trouble was brewing at General Headquarters at Albany for the regiments that failed to turn in thoir muster rolls and payrolls for tho Centennial parade promptly and, as it was stated it should bo done, on the morning after the turnout.

It has been commonly supposed that the same rule that obtains in camp in rogard to parade returns would obtain in this case, namely that they should bo turned in to Headquarters on the day following tlie ceremony, but tho adjutants of Brooklyn regiments have been proceeding iu a leisurely manner in the matter and although a week has already passed very few of tho payrolls havo aa yet gone forward. In fact the signatures of all the men who paraded, which are a necessary condition to the approval of the rolls for their payment, have not by any means been obtained aa yet and it will probably bo some days before it will be definitely known at Albany just how much the State will have to pay Brooklyn for its repreaentation in tho big pageant. Tlie indifference of adjutants to the flight of time and the lack of rapid progress on the rolls are explained on the ground that the general orders in reference to the payment of the troops issued by Adjutant General Porter prescribed no definite time when tlie payrolls should be turned in, but simply Baid, "as promptly as possible." Signatures necessary to complete the rolls for the Twenty third and Fourteenth regiments wero being obtained by tho commanding officers of companieB last night. "Thero is no doubt, I guess," said one of these officers, "but that wo Bhall get all the money that is due us." A HOUSE WARMING For tho Chinctto School of the Central Congregational Church. The housowarming of the teachers and friends of the Chinese Sunday school of the Central Congregational Church took placo last evening in Robertson's Hall, Gates avenue and Downing atreet, which will be the home of the school for some time to come.

A good many of the pupils were present. Mr. Pease, the superintendent, carried out a programme informal in character but very pleasant in fulfillment, the chief aim of tho occasion boing a good social time. Rev. Dr.

Behrends, the pastor of tho church, made a brief address outlining the work of tho school and there were several vocal and instrumental selections given by the young ladies. An amusing feature was an instrumental duet by Chinese pupils, one playing a bamboo flute and the other a queer concern which passes for a fiddle among tho Celestials. Tho tones of the instruments resemblod the cornstalk fiddle of childhood and the shrill note of the willow bark whistle. Tho faintest shadow of a tune could bo discovered. Refreshments were served and tlie housewarming passed off very pleasantly.

Tho school is prospering. Its sessions will be held in tho hall Sunday afternoons and evenings, and on Monday evenings there will bo a secular Bchool for the benefit of tho scholars held there. Some of the pupils wear the national dress, but others have adopted civilized clothing. GOOD PItlt'B FOR A 10T. At tho auction rooms of Taylor it Fox, 45 Broadway, at noon yesterday, tho frame house, 5 Debevoiso street, lot 25x100 feet, was sold under the hammer.

The dwelling is of no particular value, so the sale was regarded as a tost of tho value of the lot, which is situate between Graham avenuo and Broadway. Charles Gomers, the clothier, after spirited bidding, purchaaed it at $7,000. Tho price waa regarded aa a good one. A COUNTRY WOMAN'S DAHAfiE SUH. Mrs.

Their exhibition drill proved highly entertaining and interesting to the spectators and several of its features were reproduced in acknowledgment of their applause. The corps played the leveille in a way that might be said to have made, the old armory thrill with martial reverberations and followed this with artatoo.

Boat Club is getting into form for the forthcoming season. It now numbers 170 members out of a limit of 200, audits boats number about forty two of all classes. Among them is a valuable double scull shell made specially for Captain Tighe by Ruddick, of the Harlem lliver. Ruddick has never made one of this class before and says he never will again. He confines his work entirely to singlo shells, for which he has a world wide reputation, and every piece of the work is made by his own hands.

This boat weighs but 20 pounds with the outriggers on, and would be gladly purchased for $1,000, as Ruddick has a standing offer of that sum from a crack professional for such a boat. Inspector McLaughlin is one of tho club's most enthusiastic members. Judge Trgho says that thero was but one month during the past twelve that ho has not had a dip in the waves, and ho would not have missed that month had he been able to get away. Along with the other features of the club, thero will be a fine ball ground there this season; tho ground is leveled off, is now being fenced in and will be ready for work in a week or two. Tho club's best nine intend to make amateur nines around Brooldyn and New York look out for their laurels.

Louis. Tho Now York team play at Boston lo morrow, the Washingtons at Philadelphia, the Pittsburgs at Chicago and the Indianapolis at Cleveland. To morrow the JerBcy rivals of Newark and Jersey City meet at the Jersey City grounds, and there will be lots of sport. A cowardly party of tho members of the Excelsior Club, of Winfiold, L. who, on Sunday, had boon betting on their own club in a match with the Athletics, of Long Island City, at Win field, took exceptions to the decisions of Umpire Itobert Doyle, of Long Island City, and at the conclusion of tho game proceeded to do him up.

Ono of those Winfield bullios of tho Excelsior Club struck him across the hoad with a base ball bat, knocking him down. Several of tho Excelsior Club then pounced upon him. Doyle attempted to defend himself, and during tho fight wasBtabbed beneath the loft eyo and through the right hand. The Athletic Club finally succeeded in roBOuing the unlucky umpire and hurrying him away. He was severely hurt.

No arrests wero made. Tho citizens of Winfiold ought to disband such a club. It ia a disgrace to tho town. When John Ward camo homo and ascertained what material the Washington team had on hand, and also learned that thoy had letsomo good men go, he thero and then determined that it would bo a useless task for.hiin to attempt to workout tho problem of making a strong team out of tho players Washington then had, and so refused to go to Washington. Itocent events have shown the wisdom of his action.

Messrs. Day aud Keefo differ as to their estimate of Keofe's value to the club. Keefe thinks he is worth Day is of tho opinion that $4,000 is enough. In the meantime tho club is losing ground by not having Keefe in tho box. This is a penny wise and pound foolish policy.

Keefe iB worth all he asks. The Athletics' visit to Brooklyn has shown pretty conclusively that tho club's ter.m aro overrated aud that they are no match for tho Brooklyns when the latter play up to the mark they are capable of. The Athletics, in the first place, are poorly managed; secondly, they have four rival captains in their team Stovey, Purcell, ennelly and Larkin while Welch has aspirations that way; thirdly, they are not a temperate team and, fourthly, they lack unity. Aa long as they win those discordant elements are kept in abeyance, but the moment they begin to lose thoir weaknesses show themselves and especially so when they are away from home. They are a strong picked nine of fielders and of slugging batsmen, and thoy havo some good base runners among them, but team work they know nothing of practically, aud discipline iu the ranks is something their manager cannot enforce.

The majority of their victories will bo won on home ground. They are not a winning team abroad and never havo been. Brooldyn has no neod to fear the Athletics, nor have the St. Louis or Cincinnati teams. If they are in third place in October next they will be in a bettor position than their innate strength warrantB.

Tho Kansas City team are showing up in unexpected strength, as their victories over Louisville and Cincinnati demonstrate. Those ovor St. Louis cannot fairly be included, as the championB are demoralized and are not playing their gume. The Columbus Club have tho weakest team in tho association, though it was thought thoy would bo stronger than Kansas City. But they havo drunkenness in their ranks and are weak in othor respects.

The Cincinnatis have not been playing the game thoy are capable of. The breaking up of their infield by tho disabling ol MoPheo and i i its!.
