than ever; the tyranny and oppression of our new masters, which Is everywhere felt, have entirely alienated their friends, from any farther confidence in such distracted councils. The army of Staten Island commanded by Gen. Howe, is now pronounced six and twenty thousand. The provincial force on New-ybrk and Long-islands, and in Westchester county, thirty thousand; but the latter are mulish, mutinous, nasty, and sickly; and Mr. Washington, finding he cannot rely on such troops, has sent for as large a reinforcement of Virginians as can be spared from that colony.

Hessians Liked Their Beer "Our letters by this days mail from New-york, intimate, that all the British troops were on board, ready for gen. Howe's orders; the foreigners were landed and refreshing themselves on Staten-island. It may be necessary to explain, for the benefit of some of the very youngest readers of the Times, that up to the days of prohibition, Btaten Island was famous for Us beer gar-dena The foreigners, of course, were the Hesslana There was newspaper propaganda in 1776 as in 1929. In other words, some editors tried to create public sentiment by a one-sided statement of the facts. Here is an item from this Interesting sheet: "There is no truth in the report of the French court having entered into a treaty with our revolted colonies or with their agent mr.

Silas Dean; on the contrary the French ministry are much alarmed at the Idea of North America becoming an Independent empire; and therefore strict orders are sent to all the sea porta of France, to search every American vessel, and to prevent as much as possible their carrying of any supplies or ammunition. How the Battle Began And here is the beginning of Lord Howes own report to Lord George Gortnalne on the battle. It was dated Camp at Newtown, Long Island, Sept. 3, 1776, and had Just been received In London and a copy forwarded to the newspaper In Cork. Brooklyn readers will find many familiar local names.

"On the 22nd of last month. In the morning, the British, with colonel Donops corps of Chasseurs and Hessian grenadiers, disembarked near Utrechtgn Long Island without the whole being landed, with fcEiy pieces of cannon. In two hours ygl a half, under the direction of commodore Hotham; lieutenant-general Clinton commanding the first division of the troops. "The enemy had only small parties It Is a little four-page paper, this "Cork Evening Post," with only four columns to the page. There were no headlines In those days, and no thought of giving the leading positions on the page to the most Important pieces of news.

The first column gives official announcements from the War Office and paragraphs of foreign news. The second column has an Intensely Interesting letter, written In New York early In August, telling of the mulish provincials. Then, down at the bottom of the third column, begins a report from the British camp at' Newtown, Long Island, sent by Lord Howe, the commander, on Sept. 3. giving a detailed account of the battle from the British standpoint.

It is a curious fact that this strange publication, purchased In Cork more than 150 years ago, has at last found Its way to a home in Brooklyn only a block from Kings Highway. Its owner, who Is kept at home by a physical disability, sits at his window and watches the automobiles whlxs along the road where just before the battle. Captain Alexander Hamilton drove off the cattle of the neighborhood so that the enemy could not get them. Later the British marched along the same road on their way to the Howard House in East New York and to a complete victory. Grandfather a Soldier The history of the faded old paper Is interesting.

It was bought on the day of Its publication by John Davis, grandfather of the present owner, an Irishman who was a-proud member of the British Army. He was a veteran of Waterloo, who came out of that historic conflict with a wounded ear, while all his comrades around him were shot down. It is significant that now the family cat prowls around the Davis home with a wounded ear, souvenir of a fight with the dogs of Rugby. Grandfather Davis was so Interested In the army that he preserved everything of a military nature which came to his hands, and so he saved this paper. It passed on to his son, Thomas, paymaster In the British service, and then to the grandson, James who decided years ago to become an American.

He came to Brooklyn and acquired citizenship. Most of his grandfathers treasures were left behind, but the old paper with the account of the battle came with him. He Is now 75 years old and still Is intensely Interested In his historical collection and proud to discuss it, with visitors. Here is how the Tory letter writer of those days described conditions In New York City Just before the battle: "The inhabitants of this city and province are becoming more divided 1 Brooklyn Times Photos Marie Therese Murray on her Honey Bee winner of third prize of the 10 to 12-year-old contingent.

Lord Cornwallis was immediately detached to Flat-bush with the reserve, two battalions of light Infantry, and colonel Donops corps, with six field pieces; having orders not to risk an attack upon the pass, if he should find It occupied; which proving to be the case, his lordship took post in the village, and the army extended from the Ferry at the Narrowa thro Utrecht and Gravesend, to the village of Flat-Land.

Members of Marsh Lodge, F. A.

founded 82 years ago, held their first annual dinner and dance Friday night. The affair, held at the Half Moon Hotel, Coney Island, drew an attendance of 400 Masons from lodges throughout the borough and Manhattan. It just happened that way. was the way In which William J. Blaken, jr.t master of the lodge, explained the fact that there had been no previous annual celebrations.

"Our predecessors and ourselves have probably been so busy attending the annual dinners of other lodges that we had ho time to stage one of our own. Mr. Blaken was the only speaker. The Grand Lodge of the State of New York was represented by Right Worshipful Charles Behrens. It was announced that, now that the old tradition against annual affairs has been broken, a dinner will be held regularly.

Entertainment was furnished by the RKO circuit. Mr. Blaken was chairman of the arrangements committee. Marriage Licenses JOHN' SHARPEN. 25, 4404 Sixth av.

Spirited riding marked the competition as the youngsters rode about the soft track of the glrdered building. In Class 1.
